John Cornyn: Walking self-dead

Adding to my John Cornyn postmortem roundup of a week ago?

Rather than joining the so-called "YOLO Caucus," theoretically being liberated, he sucked up to Trump and Trump's proxy, Senate GOP leadership, all last week. The stalled-out immigration enforcement bill is one example of that:

In all, eight Republicans voted for at least one Democratic amendment to the bill, including Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who, like Cornyn, lost his primary to a Trump-backed opponent last month. Also among the defectors were GOP senators facing tough reelection fights in November, like Sens. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, and Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska; and moderates including Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. Cornyn never did.

"Big John."

Maybe "Micropenis John" is more like it? 

As I noted in that postmortem last week, the idea that Cornyn was ever that far off the Trump reservation was a laugh and this just confirms that. 

If that wasn't enough? HE confirmed that:

Those who have grouped him in with the YOLO Caucus need to “get a life,” he told CNN.

So, here in Tex-ass, no more suck-ups, unlike the Trib's that I noted last week.
