John Cornyn was booed off the stage at the Texas GOP convention

They didn't like even his half-assed gun reform proposals.

In the early 00s he was the worst on the Does Your Senator Suck site. Never thought I'd see the day he was too liberal, a RINO in fact, for the Texas GOP. What's next for this world?

Or will there be refugee resettling in blue states?

We need to change Texas to purple then blue. How to do that would be strong Democratic turnout in all states to get bigger margins in house and senate. We need more federal judges to deny them their fake redistricting maps. WE NEED TO VOTE!

We need more like Ann and a Beto rising.

You can do it, catrose and we need to help you.

Anything even slightly to the center, they consider a traitor and a fink.

This only confirms how far into the slime pit we have fallen - and especially seeing him lofted above the very bottom!
