No guarantee but he should go for it. Cornyn will be 74. These people need to know when to quit unlike Biden/DiFi.
He’s stale just like too many others.

“attacked Senator John Cornyn “

The rats will come out to save Cornyn in the primary big time. Just like Murk and Graham

Age should not matter if you still have a very sound mind. Ask Trump about that.

Perhaps he can read the tea leaves and call it a career. Not counting on it. I just Cassidy would do the same.

It seems Cornyn, as a good Democrat a la McConnell, Collins and Murkowski, plans to stay until his retirement is occasioned by his occupation of a casket. Like the others, it past time to go.

Oh, my! And Cornyn was all set to dig out the flag from the back of his closet and wrap himself up in it as he does every reelection time.

Ain’t good enough.

**Oh, my! And Cornyn was all set to dig out the flag from the back of his closet and wrap himself up in it as he does every reelection time.**
Deal with it.

**If Paxton runs, the POS RINO Cornhole is gone... finally rid of that backstabbing worthless POS.**
I don’t believe you. Ask Murkowski. Ask Wicker in Ms. You’ve got to FIRE them. Does Cornyn’s positions rise to that level? Let’s just say I hope so.
