John Cornyn was a fine District Court Judge in Bexar County (San Antonio), a good Texas Supreme Court Judge, and a tolerable Texas Attorney General.
I don't know what happened to that fine District Court Judge, but I have my suspicions.

With Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announcing on Wednesday his intent to end his reign as GOP leader in the Senate, speculation about who will run to replace him in the role quickly began to mount.
Top of the list of potential contenders, according to early chatter, appears to be the so-called “three Johns:” Sens. John Thune (R-SD), John Barrasso (R-WY), and John Cornyn (R-TX).
Thune is currently the second-ranked Republican in the chamber, serving as minority whip — a role in which the holder performs head counts and rallies members of the party for votes and quorum calls.
The No. 3 Republican in the Senate is Barrasso, who serves as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference. Cornyn is a former Republican whip and ex-chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee tasked with getting Republicans elected to the Senate.
None of the “three Johns” appeared to be ready to make any sort of announcement shortly after McConnell delivered remarks on the Senate floor declaring his plans to step down.

Aren’t all the guys “Johns” in Washington DC?
Anybody named “Rand” interested in the job?
Ted Cruz (TX) would work for me too
If it’s Cornyn, we will be wanting McC to come back.
No thanks. One way or another, the three are gop-E cave in artists to the ‘RATS.
Dear God, not Cornyn.
Rick Scott?
He loves cheap labor too ,
He loves amnesty ..Fooled be .fooled by his bs .
Senator Johnson of Wisconsin would be my choice. He is MAGA and a smart crisp speaker.
The three saw the evening light reflections on the shimmering Chinese spy balloon above DC and they came in carrying gold, frankincense and myrrh.
I wouldn’t be unhappy with Josh Hawley.
“John” Thune jumped up and endorsed POTUS-45 earlier this week.
Was it a calculated move to give him a leg up on the other “johns”?
All three ‘Johns” are lip service whores, Including Barrasso who is my senator.
Sometimes... but mostly I think they are the pimps and whores.
I agree with previous posters on Paul, Cruz, Hawley, and Johnson. Any would work well for me. It is not hard to be better than McConnell of the last 2-3 years (got to give him credit for the USSC justice battles).
John Cornyn was a fine District Court Judge in Bexar County (San Antonio), a good Texas Supreme Court Judge, and a tolerable Texas Attorney General.
I don't know what happened to that fine District Court Judge, but I have my suspicions.
Who is the “least-compromised” ?
That’s how they controlled Mitch
Kansas Senator Roger Marshall is an upfront guy and would be a fine choice. Kansas Senator Jerry moron would not be a candidate worthy of selection.
