Stockman needs to capitalize on Corny’s latest act of betrayal. I hope he runs ads off of this. Haven’t seen any, though, in the last few days.
One of Cornyn’s opponents in the March 4 primary, Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Clear Lake, used the cloture vote to reiterate a campaign attack — that Cornyn repeatedly has stabbed Cruz in the back on conservative agenda items.
“John Cornyn is treating Ted Cruz’s back like his own personal cutlery holder,” Stockman tweeted after the vote.
Cornyn focused on the fact that he voted against raising the debt ceiling, rather than on crucial procedural vote that cleared the way for the Senate majority to win the day.
Stockman doesn’t seem like a serious candidate to me, unfortunately. I may vote for him anyway.
