Trumpheimer's Disease and Sgt. Shultz Syndrome will spread rapidly throughout the GOP

Trumpheimer's Disease-

Cornyn defended Trump for siphoning Pentagon budget to pay for border wall, but now claims he was against it

WASHINGTON — Sen. John Cornyn, trying to distance himself from President Donald Trump as Election Day looms, now says he opposed siphoning off billions from the Pentagon in order to build the border wall, a claim that directly contradicts multiple statements defending that budget maneuver.

In February, for instance, he argued that congressional Democrats had left Trump no choice by refusing to authorize wall funding.

“I believe border security is part of national security. So I support the efforts to accomplish that secure border,” Cornyn told reporters on Feb. 20, when asked about Trump’s recent move to siphon another $3.8 billion from the Pentagon’s budget. “The president’s left with a bad hand and has to play the best hand he can.”

After Nixon resigned in disgrace, it was really hard to find anyone who'd admit to having voted for him, even though he won the 1972 election 47,168,710 votes to McGovern's 29,173,222, and 520 to 17 EC votes.
