John Cornyn, SHUT UP

So John Cornyn told CNN that nominating Trump would make it more difficult for Republicans to hold on to the Senate.

I had better step back from the keyboard and take a long, slow breath.

…

Okay. Let’s see.  Who is John Cornyn? He is the Senator from Texas who is part of Mitch McConnell’s leadership team.  As such, he is part and parcel of the strategy, if you can call it that, of enabling Obama instead of stopping him.  The Senate under that team time and again ignored the mandates of the 2010 and 2014 elections to stop Obama and instead pretended to oppose him while doing precious little to stop him.

The anger provoked by the Senate GOP’s willful failure is a big factor behind the rise of Donald Trump.

And NOW Cornyn warns us about Trump?  Cornyn warns us about the monster he helped create?

But there is still hope, however faint, of stopping Trump.  And that hope is Cornyn’s fellow Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz.

But does Cornyn endorse Cruz?  No.  He couldn’t even bring himself to endorse Cruz after early voting.  Cornyn is too much of a RINOy establishment RINO to do that.

But he lectures us about Trump after he enables his rise and doesn’t lift a finger to support his fellow Texan and Trump’s strongest opponent.

Shut up, John Cornyn.  Just shut up.

And if Republicans lose the Senate, look in the mirror for the culprit, bud.

Sen. Cornyn Calls on Holder to Resign

Yesterday, in a hearing, in his face if you will, Senator John Cornyn called on Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder to resign.

He is certainly not the first to call on Holder to resign.  Far from it.  But his call is significant.  First, Cornyn is no firebreather.  (And this occasional firebreather has been annoyed with him at times.)  And he is a past Attorney General himself as well as a Texas Supreme Court Justice.

Second, there is the venue chosen.  He didn’t call on Holder to resign in a letter or a press conference, but in a Senate hearing with Holder himself testifying.

I am particularly heartened that one of the reasons Cornyn cited for his call was Holder stopping states from taking steps to prevent vote fraud.  Holder has been transparently enabling election fraud – even defying a past Supreme Court decision allowing Voter ID laws – and it is high time he is taken to task for it.
