I hear what you are saying but Sen. Cornyn is not the problem, Feinstein and her ilk are, Schumer, Durbin, Leahy, et al. I think he will be less of a problem going forward now that Cruz and Rand have unleashed themselves to great support and attention.
Compared to those nut jobs Cornyn ain't so bad. I just wish we had more time before his seat comes up. That way he'd either have to make a true course correction or we could replace him. But putting another freshman senator in when Cruz would only have 2 years in his seat wouldn't be good for Texas at all.
