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."
~snip~
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."

“I don’t think President Trump understands that when you run in a general election, you have to appeal to voters beyond your base.”
Well, he’s half right. The part he is missing is FIRST you have to energize the voters who do constitute your base, since they are the vast majority of people who will be voting for you, and the easiest votes for you to get.
But what would a RINO know about that? They take those votes for granted.
Even if he were to somehow win he would lose by an even larger margin in 2024 than Trump if he were to lose. I think Trump stands the best chance in 2024.
Damned low life.
I know Vivek Ramaswamy has very little chance of becoming President in the 2024 cycle but this guy is the most Reaganesque, conservative sounding candidate out there. Listen to him. He’s still young and I think has a great future, down the road.
Cornyn is as much the enemy as a Democrat.
Answer the question R2.
Illegal aliens that are going to vote en masse?
The black underclass?
The globalists who want perpetual war?
"Pro-choice" Republicans who's running away from the biggest court decision for conservatives in American history?
“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.”
And when was the last time the GOPe or Democrat made a sincere non-pandering appeal to constitutional conservatives?
I’m gonna wait to see what Pelosi and Schumer say. If they say the same thing as Cornyn or don’t support Trump, then I’m done with Trump too.

Ron Desantis is at the top of John Cornyn’s list for 2024
John is a Ukraine first McConell ally who led the effort to pass Biden’s gun control bill & has signaled support for amnesty

“you have to appeal to voters beyond your base.”
This from the guy who stabs the base in the back within weeks of re-election.
Yup - couldn’t win in 2016 either. Never had a chance.
Cornyn coming out against Trump is as good as an endorsement. Trump ought to thank him.
And yet, somehow someway..... you still keep getting “elected” Cornholio.
Has Sen. Cornyn been living under a rock? He must be watching CNN as his news source. Hopefully Cornyn’s current term is his last.
Cornyn is a never Trumper.

I'll let you all in on a little secret: those of us who have chosen to no longer support Trump are not affected by your "RINO!" nonsense anymore. You use that word to describe anyone who doesn't support your savior Trump. I wear it as a badge of honor.
.
Imagine if the Republicans attacked Biden.
Imagine if they had a Biden Resistance plan.
This is why the FBi keeps going after Trump, they get encouragement from both sides.

Yep ... we hate the lyin’ Cornhole and he got boo’d during his whole state Repub convention speech so badly that we couldn’t hear a word of it. And he deserved every second of the disdain! ... ymmv
