If Cornyn is not defeated in the 2026 election, with his seniority, he could well end up becoming the Senate majority/minority leader replacing McConnell. This would be disaster.
Tea Party groups in Texas worked hard to defeat Cornyn in the 2014 primary by supporting a good challenger, Steve Stockman. We got Cornyn's vote down to 59% in the primary, which is low for an long-term incumbent. Cornyn is strongly supported by the lobbyists and special interests making it hard to get rid of him.
I met Cornyn at the Texas Republican Convention in 2002 when he won his first primary. I didn't like him then and have not liked him since that time.
Our Senator Ted Cruz does a good job being visible, available and active in promoting Republican priorities and fighting the left. Cornyn has been AWOL since the beginning.
But with the Bushes in his corner how could Cornyn possibly lose?
McConnell and Cornyn are the best Senators the District of Columbia ever had ...
Does Paxton really want to go to DC? How about Governor of Texas?
I would vote for Paxton. I would love to see him challenge Cornyn.
Hope So.
Kick Cornhole Cornyn to the curb.
According to Paxton, if a law allowing the AG to prosecute voter fraud does not get reinstated in Texas it will soon go blue.
The Texas crooked GOP under that drunk GOP RAT phony Dade Phelan, isn’t going to let it get changed back either.
Paxton is a flawed man in his personal life. I ask all, whom is not flawed? I am! Paxton has been a loyal soldier for Constitutional law and State rights as defined under our Federal Constitution and our Constitution of Texas. As such I have always supported him.
When the majority Republican House voted for impeachment my initial assumption was that Paxton was guilty. I watched Paxton’s lawyer destroy the charges against Paxton with great skill, satire, legal logic and humor. His lawyer was brilliant. I will vote for Paxton in the future. His own personable foibles that had nothing to do with politics have been paid in full at home and I must assume at a high price from his wife.
I wish them well.
Much as I want Cornyn out....I’d prefer to see Paxton as US Attorney General or Governor of Texas. Still, if he chooses to run for the Senate, I’d welcome him there. Cornyn is another execrable RINO who needs to be primaried and ousted as soon as possible.
Cornyn is a big fat ZERO …..
The cruz election will be interesting. Cornyn just won in 2020 with the most votes for senator in history. In 2026, he’s up again.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson might be positioning himself to run for Cornyn’s Senate seat. Eric Johnson is term limited and his term ends in 2027.
I’d vote for him over Cornball.
I hope so! Cornyn has become part of the problem.
