New Poll Shows John Cornyn Heading Into Runoff With Steve Stockman for U.S. Senate

[JoethePleb]

Source: Burnt Orange Report

A new poll suggests what many have known all along -- John Cornyn is at best lukewarm with Republican primary voters. A runoff is beginning to look more likely as the last 5 known polls taken on the race for the U.S. Senate nomination have Cornyn with less than 50% support.

1. How is Steve Stockman possibly going to the Senate good news?

Or is that even what you're trying to say?

4. If you are asking me as the author...

I don't think its "good news"...well actually the side show is entertaining, and Stockman could provide all the fodder we need to get avg. Texans off their bums and to the polls.

7. Your faith in Texas voters is inspiring.

Here's hoping it's not misplaced.

11. You ARE talking about the state that sent Cruz to the Senate

If we have two Bagger Senators from my state, my head will explode.

2. I would suggest that at least with Stockman in the Senate

everyone would know he is and would behave like a Ted Cruz nutcase.

There are some who consider Cornyn's relatively mild manner as an indication he is rational and adult. That is just the lipstick on the pig (no offense to pigs intended). Cornyn is not rational, adult or smarter than a 5th grader but his manners might betray that sense to some.

Stockman would on day 1 threaten to shut down the government, vote to impeach Obama if the House raised charges and try to start a war with Iran. That's before lunch.

3. yeah, a runoff between crazy and nuts.

you pick who is who.

[Zambero]

5. Could Texas possibly do any worse than Ted Cruz?

A very difficult bar to clear, but if anyone was to meet that "challenge" it would be have to be Stockman.

[lastlib]

6. I hope it's bloody and damned expensive....

...and that Stockman gets his arse handed to him in slices. And that Cornyn is so badly wounded that he can't survive a general election campaign.

[herding cats]

8. Texas is becoming a Texas sized pain in the butt to the GOP.

Just imagine the havoc Stockman and Cruz could create running amuck together in DC. They'd be the dynamic duo of dumbfuckery!

9. Have you been paying attention?

Cornyn is mean and vicious. In 2007, he was one of nine senators to approve of torture. This monster was a judge in Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas. This state’s collection of misanthropic scum that has littered the American political scene this past generation has no near competitor. There has been comic devices wherein someone is named “the worst person in the world”. There are days that it is him.

When news came from Geneva that Iran had concluded an agreement with the “P5+1” group: Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United States. President Barack Obama told our nation this agreement would “cut off Iran’s most likely paths to a bomb”. Almost immediately Corndog (as gwbjr used to call him) went on the idiots’ telegraph service, Twitter, and telegraphed this excruciatingly petty, stupid, and ill mannered statement:

“Amazing what White House will do to distract attention from Obamacare.” — Sen. John Cornyn (Repuke, Tejas)

Now, Stockman is crazier than a drugged outhouse rat, few would argue. He is in competition with Louie Gohmert for biggest idiot in Tejas.

Let the public see these two go at it. And it is the sorry state of Texas that can not find voters to vote for a Democrat to become senator.

15. excellent post. welcome to du.i am not an official spokes nt

[winter is coming]

10. If Corynyn gets the nomination, will Stockman try to run as a third-party candidate? n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. Two TeaNutters from the same state. I can't wait.

[iandhr]

13. Is there any dem who can win if Stockman wins?

[Nanjing to Seoul]

14. These voters elected Bush, Perry, Delay, Armey, Gohmert, Farenthood, Cruz as well as Stockman

I have no faith in Texas voters. Before you throw Ann Richards in my face, that's ONE!

If Stockman wins the nom over Cornyn, he will be elected Senator.
