Related: About this forumMy email to Ted Cruz and John Cornyn
Cornyn was on TV this morning, blathering some bullshit about working to resolve the gov shutdown. So I know that he must be sweating over it, given that so much of the action is in Texas. Texans are hurting. So here's the email that I sent him and Cruz. It's time for all of us to contact our Republican senators and tell them to end this shutdown NOW!

False Pride is Poison! Texans, living on the edge, will miss a pay check this week. I'm really sorry for all the pain and financial anxiety that Trump's gov shutdown is causing us. I'm sorry that our very pressing bills for rent, utilities, insurance, food, meds, car gas, etc are happening, because Trump lies about needing a wall on the TExMex border. I'm really sorry, but I guess that is it what it will finally take -- our pain, worry, and sufferings at the hands of Trump and his enablers. The first step that you must take to move us out from under Trump's gov shutdown is to finally admit to yourself that you made a mistake, when you supported Trump. OK? Hey, it didn't work out the way you imagined it would . So just swallow your pride and admit that Trump is a disaster. And not just for the gov shutdown, but also for his ineptitude at everything else. Trump is a terrible president. He's a disaster. I promise that swallowing your pride about him is not fatal, but continuing to swallow his bullshit might very well be fatal. Reopen the gov and just forget about building Trump's stupid wall, because he said Mexico would pay for it. Fat chance for that happening, right?

(10,252 posts)Ted Cruz will email you back in a few weeks with some meaningless bullshit. What matters is HOW MANY Texans complain to him. They are counting and have paid pollsters counting. I think of it as being a teaspoon of water in a coming oceanic tidal wave of anti-Trump sentiment that will push Cruz and Cornyn to eventually vote to convict on a bill of impeachment. Cornyn will be up for re-election in 2020. He is in GOP Senate leadership. He did an interview on TV this morning that tells me he is getting nervous. Keep the pressure on. Make them sweat.
