I suspect many of these traitors to their Party will not be re-elected when their time rolls around. John Cornyn for sure will not be. Perhaps he is ready to be “finished” but am very sure he didn’t want to leave being talked about in only negative statements. I have voted for him everytime he was on the ballot. I wish I had those votes back. Very disappointed.
