Trump can't win in 2024, says Texas Sen. John Cornyn: 'Trump's time has passed him by.'

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."

Oh, well then…if Sydney Powell says it’s true….

Is she going to do another press conference at theFour Seasons Landscaping parking lot?

You guys are going to be pulling your hair out when Trump loses again…and takes the best chances for a Republican sweep with him.

But…feeling like you won is almost as good as actually winning.

In any event, statistics tells us if Biden or Trump win, they will likely die in office. So, keep voting for old fools.

Now that’s not very nice of John Cornyn after receiving Trump’s “complete and total endorsement”.

Then again not having Cornyn endorse you should be good for a 5 point rise in your poll numbers.

Being Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee automatically disqualifies him from having any critical thinking skills.

LOL. He’s always been a part of the McConnell, Collins, Toomey, Romney, et al. gang. Why would anyone assume an ounce of credibility lives in this turd?

We all know they'll try the same stunt they did last time. I'm still voting for him. We've been burned too many times by RINOs. If the cheaters get away with it again (and they very well might!), this country is beyond hope other than straight-up balkanization. I'm done with these political prostitution games of paying each other off and making career-enriching promises.

He can win, but the Powers That Be will keep him from taking Office. Which should please you no end. You are much happier under Lying Joe than Honest Donald. You are going to get 4 more years under Biden or a Biden Clone, so you should be happy. Your prayers have been answered. In fact they were answered in 2020 when the Republican Party helped the Democrat Party steal the Election from him. Enjoy the fruit of your labors.

They were in on it, and I and many others will never forgive or forget. I don’t hold grudges or have a bad temper, so it takes a lot to push me past the point of no return. Perhaps that was the goal all along? To get decent people to give up? I won’t do that either, but I’m not going to continue playing a rigged game with a bunch of jerks breathing rarified air who don’t give 2 cents about anything but their careers and their little cliques.
