I'll answer for him. Yonivore Winehole23
John Cornyn is .....
a) a gun-grabber, repeatedly voting with Senate Democrats and Susan Collins against the rest of the GOP on anti-second amendment, pro-gun control legislation, and
b) an illegal alien sympathizer, repeatedly voting with Senate Democrats against the rest of the GOP, Collins, and Murkowski on pro-amnesty, pro-right-to-citizenship for illegals legislation, not America First at all.
c) voted with Senate Democrats and only 2-3 other Republicans on increasing Covid-era lockdowns, mask mandates, and vax mandates for certain sectors to as late as 2022.
Cornyn is cut from the Bush-era cloth of neoconservative establishmentarian Texas warhawks like the Bush clan, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Tom DeLay, and others. Very much pro-war, pro-defense contractor conglomerate, and supported the failed impeachment and removal of Ken Paxton, AG, who fought the federal government and won Texas back its tenth amendment right to not have vaccine mandates for federal workers who are residents in Texas, and other good, conservative legislation.
Cornyn is an outspoken critic of Trump. While not having voted for either impeachment conviction in 2019 or 2021, if he were in a state bluer than Texas and/or not worried about being primaried out of his Senate seat, he absolutely would have voted 'yea' on this, especially the 2021 vote, which would have effectively ended the MAGA movement, disqualified Trump from holding future office, and forced someone like DeSantis to be frontrunner for President in 2024.
Cornyn is outspokenly in favor and defense of far-left liberal Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, a left-wing partisan hack appointed by Obama early in his first term (at around the time the Democrats had 59-60 Senate seats), who essentially serves as the filibuster judge of the Senate and has repeatedly favored Democrats and bent Senate rules for Senate Democrats to pass bills narrowly when the Senate has had small Democratic majorities cir venting the filibuster such as ACA (which, by the way, contained much more than budgetary legislation) while repeatedly repudiating Senate Republican bills and forcing them to be weakened and trim down or be filibustered, from the TCJA to the BBB2 and just about everything in between.
Cornyn, despite hailing as a U.S. Senator for a solidly ruby-red state, has consistently been ranked by Cook Political Report, Politico, NYT and others as one of the ten most centrist Senators in each of the last 14 years. That is far more consistent with a Senator representing a state such as Michigan or Georgia or Wisconsin or Nevada in today's political environment, but certainly not from the far-conservative State of Texas.
Cornyn should run for senator in New Mexico or something. Certainly, getting centrists like him and Susan Collins in states like Maine or Minnesota that are less favorable to the GOP otherwise if they run purely MAGA candidates, would be a net positive and an opportunity conservatives including the egomaniac Trump should look into, because a 'maybe' vote is better than a 'Schumer sycophant' vote. But the centrist Cornyn absolutely has no business being a U.S. Senator representing a Trump+14 state in this political climate. As aforementioned, he would be a Murkowski type of vote in any even slightly bluer state, and he could very much lean in that direction even more if he were to be re-elected again, likely retiring in 2032 with nothing to lose, similar to the late-era John McCain voting record.
