Well stated about the reality of federal politicsAlmost any idea is better than yours. I've been trying to explain the better idea to you for days now.
Fact 1 - Someone who doesn't always vote for us is better than someone who will always vote against us. You see, there are two kinds of bills in the Senate - Republican bills that often serve our interests at least somewhat, and Dem bills that always go against our agenda. Cornyn at least (and with a couple of notable exceptions) votes against the Dem agenda. You seem unwilling to understand so let me try yet another analogy. You're at the shooting range. The idiot to your right rarely hits his target. The idiot to your left is actively shooting at you. You propose planning your next range day with the idiot to the left, so you can hopefully teach the idiot on your right a lesson.
Fact 2 - Giving a Dem the seat means we may not get it back. What a foolish risk. Please refer to Fact 1 for the reason why.
You want us to cut off our nose to spite our face. We need to primary Cornyn out, but if we can't we must not allow the Dems to have the seat. Have you not figured out that if we give them an inch they take a mile? How is splitting the Texas vote in the Senate a productive outcome? That would not be a "short term loss" it would be "screwing ourselves with the hope that we can be un-screwed later". It's not going to work the way you've decided it will.
This forum and the Four Boxes Diner call bulls**t on Senator Cornyn introducing national reciprocity bill. As others have said it will never get out of the Senate and very unlikely to pass House and never signed by Pres Biden. This bill has been in one form or another has been brought up in Congress since at least 2003 (just 20 long years).Senate Republicans push for concealed carry reciprocity

Probably DOA in the Senate.
Any candidates come to mind???
Unfortunately we are not afforded the choice. We are handed predetermined candidates that are determined by the RNC that will hold the party line. If your thinking outside their predetermined box, you have little to no chance of getting on the ballet. This system is busted. There are a few outliers I suppose, mostly on the democrat side, but generally, if you don't hold to the party plank, you don't see the light of day.Any candidates come to mind???

Cornhole is a RINO and has got to go.At the risk of repeating myself again, you keep saying that but I still don't understand how a loyal, reliable Dem vote in the Senate is somehow better than an somewhat unreliable Republican vote that is prone to grandstanding. Hegar would have voted with the Dems 100% of the time on every vote. Cornyn still mostly votes the right way except when he thinks we won't notice.
Your logic is severely flawed.

Yep politics is a giant shit sandwich. We all gotta take a bite.Turn off the spotlight and he’s a shitbag just like the rest of ‘em.
Look at what transpired here, in PennsylVania, this past Fall....That's the problem. Viable alternatives are actively discouraged and opposed by the GOP machine. We'd have to do a serious grassroots effort to overcome that. For the GOP, the fact that there's someone in that seat with an R after their name is good enough and they don't want to "rock the boat".
Voting in a Democrat is not the answer. Throwing support behind a strong conservative opponent is.
And if we can't get a true conservative in the primary now, what in the heck makes you think six years of a Dem voting 100% party line is going to change that in the subsequent primary? That is the fallacy is in your argument.I said what I said. Zod's way guarantees a Democrat In Disguise stays in office for all time. My way has a Dem in for one term, but it clears out the GOP Primary for an actual conservative, Constitution-following candidate to succeed. Short-term status quo vs. long-term success.
You decide.....
My apologies, I was leaving many assumptions on the table (and this is NOT directed at you Zod, I just want my position clearly stated).And I've never said anything to contradict that. In fact, I've repeated my dissatisfaction with Cornyn several times. But he doesn't need to be replaced with a socialist Dem. Allow me to illustrate the continuum here:
<We're absolutely screwed>_____________<This jackass needs to go>__________<NOW we're talkin!>
<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>
_______Any Democrat__________________________John Cornyn_____________________A real conservative
That's all I'm saying. I'm not willing to have us screwed just to get rid of the jackass. He needs to be ditched in a primary, and that's the only time ditching him won't make things worse instead of better.

Six years of another liberal and then the GOP trots out the same type candidate. No thanks.
We shouldn't need the TXGOP for true conservatives to win here.Then maybe CHL is right about #3.....and the TXGOP no longer deserves to win elections.
Good scale to explain the issue. Very very hard to defeat an incumbent. There has to be a whole lot of voters who want to fire the current elected official of either party.And I've never said anything to contradict that.

#3, I think the RNC is beyond saving and needs to be replaced.
