Cornyn and Tillis Don’t Seem To Understand That They Keep Recording Their Confessions

Cornyn thought Republican primary voters were smart and decent when they chose John Cornyn, after which they chose somebody else and turned into wild-eyed extremist morons.

In a quite strange discussion on CNBC this week, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said that he’s supporting the Republican ticket, and as a loyal member of his party wants to see the GOP hold the Senate. But keep watching, because here’s the strange part:

GOP Senator John Cornyn: "Part of the problem with our politics is that people who participate in the primaries and choose the candidates are on the extremes of either party." pic.twitter.com/iX5ndkm8u8— TheBlaze (@theblaze) October 21, 2026

I’m a loyal member of this fringe group of weirdos. If we believe him and take it all at face value, a Texas Republican who proudly supports his party thinks the really unfortunate thing in American politics is that the most reliable and consistent Republican voters are deplorable: extreme, crazy, out on the edges. 1.) I’m a loyal Republican, 2.) the Republican base is nuts. So…he’s…loyal to…dangerous extremists, while…

Hold on, trying to diagram a premise.

This is Cornyn’s argument: The good people, the reasonable people, aren’t the high-propensity Republican voters who always turn out behind their party; rather, the good people show up later, after the right-wing whack jobs who vote Republican have chosen their terrible extremist candidates, and then the decent centrist folk try to find the political center and undo the harm that the Republican trash have caused.

The logic doesn’t hold: If the base is extreme, why would you proudly support........
