Says Cornyn: "I don’t think President Trump understands that when you run in a general election, you have to appeal to voters beyond your base."

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said Thursday that Republicans need to find an alternative to former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election, saying the party needs "a candidate who can actually win."

Cornyn, a former chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Senate majority whip, did not endorse any other declared candidate or potential contender, though he praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.

"To me this all boils down to electability," Cornyn said. "I’ve been through quite a few elections in my life and there’s no prize for coming in second — in other words, losing."

[Jan_Sobieski]

Trump can’t win Has nothing to do with cheating, right John?

[Nachoman]

This is encouraging. Cornyn is wrong about almost everything.

[BigFreakinToad]

Corncob is a capitulator and collaborator. Trump can win IF it wasn’t for the fact that the election system is rigged and broken.

This clown is as bad as schumer, Feinstein and pelosi …. get a job and get off the teat, Asshole.

[McGavin999]

Ohhhh nooo. It’s over, the walls are closing in, we can’t win now that Cronyn has weighed in.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Cornyn is a "Mittens" sort of gay guy.

[FLT-bird]

Cornyn is on his last term in the Senate. I don’t see any way he gets another. They hate him in Texas. They practically boo’d him off the stage the last time he tried to speak there.

[Reverend Wright]

Big surprise that Swamp Man Cornyn supports DeSwampis. !

[38special]

Talk about somebody who’s time has passed its Cornball Cornyn

Speaking to the echo chamber. This guy is exactly the reason Trump appeals to so many conservatives.
