Cornyn deserved what happened
He’s utterly spineless. And in any event, he should have decided on his own that he is too old for that office. Talarico has a shot, less than 50/50 for sure but the best odds for a state wide candidate in a long time. Will need to run a flawless campaign to win and hope that Trump continues to sink in popularity.
