WASHINGTON — Sen. John Cornyn, trying to distance himself from President Donald Trump as Election Day looms, now says he opposed siphoning off billions from the Pentagon in order to build the border wall, a claim that directly contradicts multiple statements defending that budget maneuver.

In February, for instance, he argued that congressional Democrats had left Trump no choice by refusing to authorize wall funding.

“I believe border security is part of national security. So I support the efforts to accomplish that secure border,” Cornyn told reporters on Feb. 20, when asked about Trump’s recent move to siphon another $3.8 billion from the Pentagon’s budget. “The president’s left with a bad hand and has to play the best hand he can.”

But Friday, 18 days before voters decide whether to give him a fourth term or replace him with Democrat MJ Hegar, Cornyn met with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram editorial board and insisted otherwise.

5. Agree, MJ Hegar's camp needs to be repeating this on an ad over & over thru election day

The GOP are like snakes - they shed their skin to favor their agenda. Then again that would be insulting to snakes to compare the GOP to them.

4. Toast Talk

That is some desperate talk from within the toaster. Everybody stick to the objective and vote accordingly.

I had planned to vote by AB, but I have still not received one since it was "issued" in GA just over 3 weeks ago. I am voting one way or another on Wed, 10/21.

P.S. It is one thing to cut off the head of this snake. That still leaves a whole lot of leftovers to neuter or dismantle of their anti-government and/or racist pursuits.

Hello, Traitors! We already know who you are.
BH must not drop this ball once they are elected and empowered to prosecute.

6. trump loyalist John Cornyn needs to be voted out for his actions

Allowing this to happen, and continue. He enabled a criminal to continue being corrupt, and knows about the russian ties that'll expose them all soon. Cornyn is scared he will lose now for it. He used to be a judge so he has no excuses for it.
