In reply to the discussion: Cornyn says he broke with Trump on deficit, border wall, but kept opposition private [View all]Leith
(7,802 posts)22. Let's check his voting record, shall we?
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/john-cornyn/
According to 538, Cornyn voted against shitgibbon on:
The 116th Congress:
- Funding the Dept of Commerce and other parts of the government, 10/31/2019
- Providing disaster relief to Puerto Rico, 05/23/19
- Disapproving of withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan and Syria, 02/04/19
The 115th Congress:
- Nonbinding motion calling for congressional approval of national security tarrifs, 07/11/2018
- Imposing sanctions on Russia, Iran, and North Korea, 07/27/2017
- Imposing sanctions on Russia, 06/14/17
So his average is to vote against shitgibbon 1 1/2 times per year. Wow! How did poor Corny survive?!

No, John, you simple asshole. That's not the way it works. You own him and he owns you.

Hopefully, his constituents will also keep their votes secret until they vote his cowardly ass out!

Cornyn is such a shitty liar. He's just garbage. Everything I hate in a person and politician.
