If he loses in November, then that is Cornyn's problem, not mine.
Yes, of course. But if he loses in November of 2020, it will be for a lack of votes in the half dozen major urban counties -- where 80% of Texans live. Those are the votes that matter most to any statewide politician.

On paper or reality? .
Reality.

They didn't repeal Obamacare. They didn't eliminate any Federal anti-Bill-of-Rights zones like USPS or COE wetlands. They didn't pass national reciprocity. They did support further restrictions on civilian arms. They did pass legislation that will increase the national debt. They didn't make any meaningful progress, if any, to "drain the swamp."

If they continue to pander to the progs, I think they will lose more votes than they gain. If the Republican politicians choose that path, they shouldn't complain where that path takes them on election day.
