Texas Senator John Cornyn is getting blasted from an unexpected source - former Democrat Joe Manchin - for what appears to be a calculated flip-flop on the Senate filibuster as primary season heats up in the Lone Star State.
Manchin, who left the Democratic Party over their radical agenda, didn't mince words when calling out Cornyn's sudden reversal on his long-standing support for the 60-vote threshold. The former West Virginia senator labeled Cornyn's about-face "deeply disappointing" and accused him of abandoning principle for political convenience.
This is exactly the kind of swamp behavior that has Patriots fed up with establishment Republicans who say one thing in Washington and another thing back home when their seats get hot. Cornyn has been a reliable voice for preserving the filibuster - until now, when he's facing serious primary pressure from America First candidates who actually mean what they say.
The RINO Pattern Emerges
Sound familiar? This is the same playbook we've seen from Republican In Name Only politicians for decades. They talk tough about conservative principles when it's convenient, then flip faster than a pancake when their political survival is on the line.
"When you abandon long-held positions just because the political winds are shifting, you're not leading - you're following," a source close to the situation told reporters.
What's particularly rich about this situation is that it took Joe Manchin - a guy who literally walked away from the Democrat Party because they went too far left - to call out a supposedly "conservative" Republican senator for lacking backbone.
Texas voters are watching closely as Cornyn tries to reinvent himself as a Trump ally after years of being part of the Senate's establishment wing. But Patriots aren't easily fooled - they remember who stood with President Trump when it mattered and who played it safe in the swamp.
The question now is whether Texas Republicans will reward this kind of political opportunism or send a clear message that principle matters more than political calculation. What do you think - is Cornyn's conversion genuine, or just another RINO trying to save his seat?
