DAVID MARCUS: Sen Thune has no idea how mad the GOP base is at him
Fox News
Texas Republicans voted against Senator John Cornyn in primary, with about 60% rejecting his candidacy amid anger over GOP Senate leadership's legislative failures.
David Marcus is a columnist living in West Virginia and the author of "Charade: The COVID Lies That Crushed A Nation."
This righteous fury is why Paxton’s political play in the face of a runoff was so brilliant. He said that if the Senate would pass the Save America Act, and its voter ID provisions, he would drop out, saving President Donald Trump from having to swoop in with a decisive endorsement.
For Cornyn, and more importantly for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., this occasioned a crisis, a much needed one, in fact, as GOP voters stare across the desk at Senate leadership, like the Bobs in "Office Space," asking, if they can't pass a bill with massive public support, what would they say they do there?
