I met Cornyn at the 2002 Texas Republican Convention before he was elected to his first term. My first impression was that he was a sleezeball. My impression turned out to be more than correct.
Tea Parties across Texas tried to get rid of Cornyn in the 2014 election. We were able to get his vote in the primary down to 59% but he was reelected by low information voters.
Low info voters.......
Well a lot of people are occupied by many other things and
pulling the lever on a voting machine is a few minute process.
That’s if the decide to vote at all. Lots still don’t vote.
He’ll win again. No one has the money to go against him. Depressing.
Cornyn’s MO is that he will start buying advertising starting in September of 2023.
Once an hour on every conservative radio station in Texas.
In January of 2024 it will be updated to 4 times an hour.
Waste of time article. They should be talking about potential people to defeat him rather than fake polls of their own readers.
I was really hopeful that Dwayne Stovall, a real conservative, would defeat Cornyn in 2020 in the primary, but he only came in a very distant second at 11%. Why are Texas voters so stupid?

In 2020, Cornyn won his Republican primary with 76 percent of the vote. He won the general with 53.5 percent of the vote, beating his Democrat challenger by almost 10 points.
The story is similar with Mitch McConnell in Kentucky.
He’s Charlie Brown and Lucy rolled into one pathogen.
That, and he will start acting like a conservative about a year out from election day, and most voters will forget all the damage he has done voting with democrats.

The problem is no one will run against him. Who has the money? Who has the background? If it is Dem against Rep, Cornyn will continue to win. We haven’t had a credible opponent in decades. This is how RINO’s continue to get elected when they are so disliked. If Texas had a “Blake from AZ” or what’s her name in Alaska, they would easily be elected. Nobody likes Cornyn, but we don’t want a Dem.
John “Wayne” Cornyn rides into TX every six years with a Texas drawl gets reelected and goes back to his DC upper class life. F’em.
Mitch is despised. I doubt he’d get back in.
Cornyn has done enough for me in Texas. Our HUGE PROBLEM is that we have our own Deep State and they CRIPPLE our State House, despite HUGE Republican majorities, at least in the past.
Even if Reagan were in the Governor’s Mansion, he’d be hard-pressed to get more done than Cornyn.
“If the election were held today ...”
Incumbents still get reelected a high percentage of the time.
Incumbents know this. They also know voters seem to have short memories.
Since it’s close to impossible to eliminate the 17th amendment state legislatures should start looking at ways to remove their undesirable US senators. Here’s one method: A recall election (also called a recall referendum, recall petition or representative recall) is a procedure by which, in certain polities, voters can remove an elected official from office through a referendum before that official’s term of office has ended. It would be nice to recall one of our state’s senators, Mitch McConnell.
In 2026. Lol. Good grief.
Why? He’s not up until 2026.
Mitch McConnell isn’t going to get reelected because he ain’t going to run again. Between now and 2026 the turtle will be spending a lot of effort grooming his replacement. People here in Kentucky need to reject anyone the turtle endorses.
Cornyn has been selling out Texas and the Country since taking office.
