Cornyn Lies: Under Democrats, Texas Will Become Dystopian Failed State



So far, the turn-Texas-blue group Battleground Texas' primary public function has been to serve as a Kim Jong-un-like bogeyman for Republican politicians to campaign against. Leave it to U.S. Senator John Cornyn, desperately trying to convince us that he's just as crazy as junior colleague Ted Cruz, to take this conceit to its logical conclusion. In his new campaign ad, he offers a dystopian vision of an all-but-failed state that emerges as soon as Democrats gain a foothold in state government.

Cornyn's vision has only one flaw: He leaves out the zombies.

only hope is to elect Democratic leaders. Cornyn is just doing the standard republican tactic of projecting their own failings onto the Dems.

win an election before he can even try to stop the battle theses losers have coming. He has lost his sense of reality because he can not come to grips of what is between now, the battle, and the ending, someone else in his Congressional Seat-Wendy Davis.

We had a filibuster Cruz, Davis want-a-be, and now a, wish upon three turned down stars, Cornyn.

Cornyn had the chance to become the comparatively sane Senator from Texas, but, guess he's joining the crazy train.
