[Mersky]

She’s kickin’ ass and taking names: cornyn is a “spineless bootlicker for tRump”.

1. She's a fighter - Just what Texas Democrats need

I hope she gets a boost from some of the larger Democratic groups. With enough media exposure, she has a shot at replacing Cornyn.

[Mersky]

2. Yeah, she won't blend into the wallpaper like cornyn

Texas republicans tend to do this a lot, and I call it the, ‘the rick perry effect.’

There was a game I used to play in the early aughts whereby I would ask random peeps I knew who was the governor of our state. I got so many blank stares or people starting to say george dubya. It was a phenomenon that would remain for like the first three years perry was in office.

cornyn fits into this classification - he doesn’t stick his neck out for anything other than what wealthy donors and tRump’s rnc want at any given moment.

3. Voting Caspar Milquetoast out to pasture is long overdue

Texans need and deserve so much better.

[Mersky]

4. Totally. He's the OG enabler of bad ideas.

Texans and all Americans would be better off if he was no longer in the senate doing tRump’s bidding.

5. Cornyn likes to fly under the radar

As opposed to Ted Cruz, who adores the spotlight.

[Mersky]

6. Absolutely the case

And, yet, I have been equally annoyed and angered by them over the years.

[dlk]

7. Opposite sides of the same coin...

They are both truly awful people.

9. Agree, Cornyn's pretty like Pence in that way, a sly slithering snake

Hopefully MJ will benefit from the down ballot effect as a result of the Blue Tsunami. Single digits means she's within striking distance.

I like MJ's comment re: Texans' BS meter

11. He's sneakier than Pence

He does alot of feel good stuff..(nothing to do with how he votes..although he is sponsoring Juneteenth as a federal holiday..knowing that the senate won't pass it..LOL)

Pence is much more outwardly divisive.

12. LOL---They didn't know notice Gov Goodhair???

8. Cornyn has no problems flying under the radar as long as there are dollars to be made.

He’s a greedy MFr.
