Someone very articulate but concise needs to give crash courses to potential voters about the basics of this, when they campaign.

Vote for cloture and vote against a bill that is assured of passage... this is the highest order of deceit. You are a cad mister cornyn... a lying pos progressive politician of the lowest magnitude.

He hasn't been quite so brazen before. Here on the ground in Texas, people are pissed off.

All the way, brother. Cornyn gets nothing, here, neither in the primary or general.

Compromisers deserve what they get, and we’re getting the business— our hat handed to us. It’s “us”, or “them”.

Most in TX don’t understand how voting for cloture is the same as voting for a bill even if the senator votes “No” on the roll call. They just can’t understand. So the Cornball Express continues unabated.

After five years of out-of-control White House spending

After we all contacted his office, told him to stand with Cruz. After he has spent millions on Radio Ads saying how conservative he is.

Cornyn wants to do something.

Too Late AH.

Horsecrap. There you go with the negativity again. You do that on every thread.

People are wising up to Cornyn's tricks, and I know a lot that intend to vote for someone else in the primary.

All twelve of the RINOS who voted for cloture voted ‘against’ passage of the bill to raise the debt limit.

And what are you doing, besides whining? Are you talking to people, convincing them to vote for someone else?

You are incredibly tiresome.

It would be a miracle if Cornball were forced into a runoff. But Dewhurst may be forced into one for lt. gov.

What percent do you think Cornball will poll on March 4? I say 65 because of lack of ID of the opposition. I hope he could be kept to 45 percent.

Only 33% back Cornyn. 49% want a more conservative senator.

Cornyn's numbers don't look that great, and there are a lot of challengers to take votes.

Rinos told him they had enough votes and since he was in a primary fight he could vote the way his constituents wanted him to - THIS TIME.
