Yeah, he votes Trump’s position about 99% of the time. I guess that’s not enough of a yes man for the Weasel. All must comply 100% with him or risk retribution. Screw what their constituencies may want or need. It’s all about The Donald.

Hunter won’t respond. Lmao.

Any analysis of the R candidate vs. James Talarico?

I have never heard of this individual.  I presume he's a Democrat.  What are you thoughts?

I hardly ever understand the RINO claims when it comes to votes. Cornyn will vote to confirm any Republican nominee, etc.

Cornyn supports a few issues that I don’t agree with like red flag laws. For that reason I want another Republican senator if possible. But if he get it again, he isn’t going to be caucusing with the Democrats.

As far as the Trump claims, the term RINO and its meaning did not start nor will it end with Trump. For some reason (maybe it’s all the have left) the left side of the aisle claims that Trump supporters are a cult and blah blah blah. 

No, they are not. It’s not like pro Second Amendment, shutting down the border, having a strong military, heavy support for law enforcement, doing away with business restrictions and so on started with Trump. On some social media platforms that I read, you would think that the Republicans and Democrats were nearly in a lockstep and only had minor differences. Poof! Along came Trump and all of a sudden there were huge divides and differences!

Uhhhh….. no.

Reagan, have you researched Talarico? Yes, he is a Democrat and a Texas State House Rep. for District 50, which includes North Austin and the Pflugerville area. He is a former schoolteacher. He is not a firebrand politician. So far, he has been campaigning to the Democratic moderates, independents, and center-slightly right Republicans. Talarico is currently leading Crockett in the March primary. It will be worth watching to see whether Talarico wins and, if so, how he performs against the eventual Cornyn/Paxton/Hunt nominee over the summer and next fall.
