That seems to be the option shaping up

I don't know much about thune but I do know Cornyn should get primaried and not get within 10 miles of holding this position

So, I guess thune.

Wish could have a Republican as aggressive as a Dem Hill leader to lead the Senate. Why always having to settle for go-alongs. (Now Thune don't really know- so more a general observation)

I'm not a huge Cornyn fan but I've heard that on the politics side of things he's top notch.

There's a lot of gamesmanship to be played at that position and he's excel at it

I thought Rick Scott of Florida was also putting his hat in too.

Perhaps in the end that aspect is so important at that level it trumps other considerations. Very well. As long as he doesn't have some obsession with compromise for its own sake like that "bipartisan border" bill that would have stripped Texas right of control among other things.

Any senator that worked on that abortion of a immigration bill needs to be shelved

Cornyn's better on policy than a lot of people here give him credit for, he's just an unimpressive speaker who has sounded like he just woke up from a nap since the first time he ran for AG.

Considering how much time the Majority Leader spends in front of the press, I'd like to see someone who can discuss policy with a little bit of caffeine in their system.

It's going to be whomever Trump wants, that's how this is going to work. If Trump is ok with Cornyn, likely him, but i'm hoping he puts a Scott or someone along those lines.

Cornyn has consistently sold conservatives down the river all for the sake of compromise without ever getting anything of value in exchange. I have zero faith that he would push to advance conservative policies if there is even a hint of push back from his dem senate buddies. As much as we talk about how conservatives are their own worst enemies while dems march in lockstep to advance their agenda, Cornyn is the poster child for that.


...and then there is that terrible brisket.

Cornyn all the way. That would be bad ace for Texas, and if you don't think so, plz just get out of your own way.

Well because a guy like Ted wouldn't ever have gotten these judges approved and Rowe would still be standing.

This board used to hate cocaine Mitch but turns out hes done more to advance conservative agenda than almost anyone. Turns out the senate isn't about being a good podcast host. You actually need to get stuff done

This 100%

Not Cornyn. He has the spine of a jellyfish.

He was also very proud of his abomination of a brisket. Disqualified.

John Cronyn is the worst elected official from the state of Texas. And that includes every dem in the house. He is scum. Mike McCaul's ***** ass thanks him for the political defense.

I've always been a fan of Josh Hawley from Missouri. Is there a reason I shouldn't be? He could be a good choice.

Ya if you think all the moderate Rs in the Senate will be onboard when he calls and ask for their vote then great option. But since we all know they probably can't stand him he's maybe not the best option

What is the anti-gun crap that Cornyn helped pass recently?

Plus he cooks his brisket in the oven

Having the Senate Majority Leader from TX gives TX a **** ton of clout in the Senate.

So there's that.

OP-neither. Neither are conservatives. Each are "the turtle" clones.
