Various sources are predicting Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will handily defeat incumbent Senator John Cornyn for the Democratic nomination for Senator. Cornyn was elected to the US Senate in 2002, and was part of the group of Texas Republicans led by George W. Bush, who was elected in 2000.
I’ve asked myself if there was any desirable conservative policy with which Cornyn was closely associated. I could think of none.
Moving him off the national stage is a further piece of the movement to rid the GOP of the Bushies. They were the coterie of globalist, corporatist Republicans who liked illegal immigration and exporting manufacturing off-shore. Most view Karl Rove as the Bush éminence grise.
The MAGA version of the GOP tends to view the Bushies’ era with embarrassment, marveling at the lost opportunities and its membership in the Deep State.
