John Cornyn is fighting like a man on a mission to get another term representing Texans in the U.S. Senate.
Unable to get what he wanted done in four terms — or 24 years — the 74-year-old now wants to remain a member of the Senate until he is 80 and probably beyond.
The question Texans should ask is simple. Who does that serve better: Cornyn or Texans?
There is, of course, an argument to be made that Cornyn can run as many times as he wants and serve as many years as he wants.
After all, voters keep electing him. That is the nature of the system we have.
But Tuesday’s primary in Texas revealed something that should make Republicans and voters across the country angry.
Cornyn and his allies reportedly spent about $80 million just so he could limp into a runoff against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
That kind of money could have been deployed in a battleground state where control of the Senate is actually in question.
Instead, it was spent keeping one man’s political career alive, and even areported33-to-1 spending advantage could not deliver Cornyn a clean victory.
Now Republicans get to endure months of mudslinging ahead of the general election, while Democrats and radical state Rep. James Talarico — who thinks God is “nonbinary” — wait comfortably on the sidelines to try poaching the seat.
