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.

Wait, he's real? I thought he was just a Monty Python character.

Guys this job is about getting Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski etc to vote yes when they need them… it's not about driving policy or directing the country

That's illogical. They are needed to drive policy and direct the country.

I really don't want either.

If establishment leadership would have used money on Lake, she'd already be winning

Cornyn is subtly but completely hostile to the entire Trump agenda.

There's only one reason Cornyn is in this position: he raises money like crazy and he uses that money to leverage himself with other party members.

Here's Cornyn pushing the Russian collusion hoax.

John Cornyn helped the Democrats push the fake Russia "Collusion" Hoax against Donald Trump.

It's gotta be Rick Scott. Cornyn or Thune would be a big bump in the road.

Not horsehead cornyn

Don't trust Thune or Cornyn

Biased and anecdotal, but Scott is dominating the poll from Mike Lee.
VORE!

Who would you like to see as the next Senate Republican leader?

Ted Cruz... Duh

He's got too many enemies in the senate because he stands up for what is right & conservative.

Romney didn't run for re election

I hope Scott wins the position. Neither Thune nor Cornyn would stand up to the libs.

You can always count on Cornyn.

To defect on major issues when it matters.

If you've been around a while, the thing about Cornyn is it's the same damn phenomenon every cycle.
1) Cornyn defects on some important issue.
2) A bunch of us say he needs to be primaried for it.
3) The defenders crawl out and say we're being shortsighted, he's otherwise a good Republican and it's naive to weaken our own R senator over the current issue. We can't risk that seat going Dem next election, everyone needs to fall into line, etc. etc.
4) GOTO LINE 1


Line 3 argument would make sense if it actually WERE just this one time on this one issue. But Cornyn has been doing it literally his entire career.

For example, we could have had a Trump-style revolution of working-class Republicanism and avoided eventual Obamacare 15 years ago, but right when cross-party populism was coalescing, Cornyn and other defectors chopped the Tea Party and Ron Paul off at the knees and supported billions in debt spending transferred from working people to the bankers. Never mind that the banker class always ends up doing just fine because they have Assets and Financial Instruments and Hedges and all kinds of Accounting Voodoo Economics. Meanwhile the working class - who have few assets and live on cashmoney - endures another decade of regressive currency devaluation, which means their dollars stretch thinner and thinner every generation and they have less and less ability to obtain actual Assets, while Crony Cornyn and his buddies live untouchable lives suckling on those swollen thick federal tax teats. And then 10 years later there's yet another "too big to fail" recession/meltdown

He does it again and again/ Cornyn never lets a Senate session go by without finding some major conservative cause or principle to work against.
No thanks. F that guy. Again.

Cornyn and Thune are swamp rats

Well picking the guy who got boo'd at his state GOP convention for a period of minutes doesn't seem wise.

Well, sounds like Texas Republicans aren’t a fan of Cornyn’s anti-2A bill

J.D. Vance for Senate Majority Leader...

Him. I am for Rick Scott.

Please fellow conservative Texans. Can we please primary Cornyn in 2026?

Primaried him in 2020. Didn't go so hot.

Like it or not, Texan republicans like Cornyn

IDaggie06 said:

---

Why can't the republicans man up. Put Cruz in that role

---

Because nobody in the Senate likes him. Kind of a problem.

Also don't think it's a role he's interested in

Everyone wanting a conservative fire breather as majority leader are showing us all they have no clue what the role entails. Same goes for Speaker of the House.

Mitch McConnel may have been a poor conservative Senator but he was an excellent majority/minority leader.

This is an interesting thought exercise. I think he could do it as VP, and also the Speaker of the House doesn't have to be a member. What if that became his joint duty? Purely from a separation of powers perspective I wouldn't want the executive branch to lead the bicameral legislature, but I think first-pass it would be technically allowable.

Why not Rand Paul?

Rand Paul didn't put his name in the hat.. Only Thune, Cornyn, and Scott did.

I agree with the idea of just making JD Vance leader and really keep RINOs at heel.

My choice would be Scott and it ain't close

Thune is a big pharma shill

Scott and it's not close.

Iirc, Cornyn was part of the cabal trying to push across the "let's make illegal crossings legal" bill led by the guy in Oklahoma.

Yep. Cornyn and the other RINO's would have voted for that garbage bill had the citizens not gotten wind of what the bill actually was and thrown a fit. They ended up voting against it and letting that idiot Lankford take the fall. Texans need to remember this stuff and primary Cornyns ass in 2026.

I am running for Senate Republican leader because I believe now is a moment we need dramatic change in Washington to upend the status quo & make sure President Trump’s agenda gets done.

Hawley just endorsed Cornyn

Cornyn should never be considered just on what he called BBQ.
