They claim to be conservative, they lie.
DAMMIT TEXAS FREEPERS- WHERE WERE YOU?
COUNT THE VOTES - you will see how FEW people voted in the primary
Your votes and effort could have made a loust 9% difference
Me too.
The take away from this is after spending millions against ineffective competition, Cornyn was held to within 10 points of having to go to a run-off.
Certainly it wasn't the blow out that the GOP-E and the media was predicting.

A number of vocal freepers support the GOP-E, and shill for them here.

20 points.

You are correct. It’s too early in the morning—I erred in my math.
There was no serious alternative to Cornyn. Stockman and Stovall may as well have been fictitious characters made up in our own minds for all they were worth. And that should not surprise anyone who had any clue. Anybody thinking that either of those clowns was going to force Cornyn into a runoff was deluding themselves.
The Tea Party is a great idea but it has to get serious or be disregarded. Money, organization, media....and there was little to none of that this go around. I think on Stockman’s part this was largely just a money generating operation. These are politicians after all, never forget that regardless of the letter after their name. Sobriety is needed. Seriously.
This. I will not be party to sending Cornyn back to continue his duplicitous, mendacious, traitorous reign in leadership. More Cornyn will beget more Crists, Chafees, Specters and Murkowskis. Heck, he's one himself; he just hasn't been flushed from cover yet.

I did not vote for Cornyn in the primary and I will not vote for him in the general.
Sobriety may be needed, indeed.
Those intoxicated in other ways often find themselves intoxicated by politics.
Crazy can equal drunk.
Who one the nomination for Stockman’s old congressional seat?
+1
Unfortunately the 3rd party candidates in this race leave me cold. It is truly sad when you catch yourself wondering if (assuming she wins the runoff) the LaRouchie candidate is a viable option.
My precinct had a voter tally on the door. I voted at 6:30 and prior to that there were 44 people that voted during the day. I live in a precinct that I would guess easily has a thousand or so registered voters.
In my opinion Stockman threw the race.
I feel like we’ve been had. The RNC seems to have implemented a new strategy in protecting their incumbents during primaries. Get a Tea Party backed candidate to run to pull just enough votes away from anyone else that might get traction, but have them purposely not try to win.
If no 3rd party is good maybe a write-in would work.
Its easy on these voting machines we use here in PA.
Absolutely. Here's why: The Proposition to repeal Obamacare won with 1,253,837 votes for repeal, 94,304 against yet John Cornyn - who voted for cloture so that the funding of ObamaCare could proceed - was resoundingly sent back to the Senate to continue his mendacity. Money, organization, media - and lots of it - are required to break through that wall of ignorance.
