With five weeks to go before the primary, tea partiers are still grumbling about Sen. John Cornyn. But grumbling isn’t the same as spitting mad.
After a dozen years in the Senate and his climb to become the party’s deputy leader, he’s the definition of the “establishment” many of them despise. He’s not aggressive enough, they say. He abandoned Sen. Ted Cruz in the fight to defund Obamacare, they say.
“Yeah, I hold it against him. Doesn’t mean I won’t vote for him, but I hold it against him,” said Wayne Pharries, 48, a commercial banker who came to hear Cornyn address the chamber of commerce over lunch Wednesday at Wichita Falls Country Club.

“I get the fact that people are scared and angry. I share that same feeling,” Cornyn told a group of 15 Republican women, meeting privately in a wood-paneled salon at the country club after his chamber speech. “Sometimes you can’t do everything you want to do at one time.”

I sure hope and pray that you aren’t claiming defeat before Early Voting even begins.
“It was a golden opportunity to get rid of him but he failed to attract any serious opposition in the primary.”

Naturally there is a chance! A very good chance IF some fellow TEXANS remember that just 2 years ago, we were told that TED CRUZ had NO CHANCE at all in defeating the Establishment Darling David Dewhurst in that Primary Race.

Have you been asleep for the past 5 years?
He has given cover and support to everything that Obama wants since Obama got into office.
Geez Louise!
I need to start sending Stoval money. I like the guy and you are right, he would make a good second to Ted Cruz.
I couldn’t agree, more. We have our work cut out for us, but I love a good challenge!
“Every time a RINO bites the dust a founding father gets his wings.”
That my friend is a great tagline
“Any Chance?”
If Ted Cruz would declare for somebody, Texans would follow in droves.
Ted is the leader for Texas in Senate, not Cornyn
Alas, Ted will not

If you want it it's yours.
Howie, aside from Tea Party folks like us, nobody’s noticed. That’s what I mean.
Then it’s our duty and responsibility to turn that around, don’t you think?
I’m doing my best from where I am.
Thx
One of the biggest problems we have is that everyone knows that it's almost impossible to get elected to statewide office as a democrat in Texas, so a lot of folks that would otherwise run as democrats run as republicans instead, and hide themselves behind meaningless rhetoric.
I'll not vote for Cornyn. Ever.
Screw the democrat-lite party.
