Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), a notorious Republican In Name Only (RINO), got some not so nice news this week from a poll produced by the Barbara Jordan Public Policy Research and Survey Center located at Texas Southern University. He’s now fallen behind Attorney General Ken Paxton in the GOP Senate primary race scheduled for March 2026.
And that’s good news for America. The establishment is now the minority in Congress and in the overall Republican Party, thanks in large part to President Donald Trump and the MAGA crowd. However, it’s not completely dead in the water. Men like Cornyn are still there trying to gum up the works. Which is why it’s time to give him a solid boot to his rear end and put someone else in office who will stand on principle.
Cornyn is now trailing Paxton 44 percent to 39 percent, with only 17 percent unsure of who they’re going to vote for. . Information shows tha from the time of the earliest polls all the way through the latest, Cornyn has been following behind Paxton.
Here’s more from Trending Politics News:
In a three-way race between Paxton, Cornyn, and Wesley Hunt, the numbers are, respectively, 35 percent, 30 percent, 22 percent, with 13 percent unsure.
According to a report from the Statesman, “Cornyn, by contrast, was struggling to shed the RINO (Republican In Name Only) label some GOP activists had tagged him with, on the grounds that he was insufficiently loyal to President Donald Trump. Paxton, a fervent Trump supporter, had even filed court action in the doomed effort to overturn Trump’s 2020 presidential election loss.”
Data indicates that the match between Paxton and Cornyn will be close when voters head to the polls next March, but currently, the attorney general holds the lead and all the advantages. However, Paxton himself has had to battle certain challenges to gain the attention and support of voters. In the fall of 2023, Paxton was acquitted on impeachment charges brought against him by the Texas House of Representatives. Six months after that, he was able to put to bed securities fraud charges that had followed him for almost 10 years.
“Polling reflected the divide. In May, a Texas Southern University poll showed Paxton leading Cornyn by 9 percentage points in a head-to-head primary matchup. In June, a University of Texas at Tyler poll put Paxton’s advantage at 10 points. Cornyn was underwater with the base,” the report from Statesman added.
In July, Angela Paxton, Ken’s wife, revealed she had filed for divorce on “biblical grounds.” And that is probably a reference to the act of adultery, as knowledge of an affair by Paxton came out during his impeachment hearing.
And yet, despite all of the ups and downs, he’s faced, MAGA is showing support for Paxton. This indicates that they are all sick and tired of compromise from RINOs like Cornyn and are willing to overlook a less than perfect person’s sins, within reason, to get someone who will look out for the American people in a position of power and influence.
