Paul Mirengoff of Power Line gives a quick run down of how the Senate voted on the recent funding bill. I find it very helpful to find out who is willing to stand on principle. Only 11 Republicans voted against it. I was glad to see that Ted Cruz was on the short list but disappointed that John Cornyn voted “yes”. Those are my two senators. You might check and see if either of yours made the cut.
I don’t begin to claim to be an expert on legislation but the list of obviously unacceptable provisions included in the bill keeps growing. I don’t really expect every legislator to read every line of every bill but they have staff that can do it and give them a summary. Were they all on vacation?
2020 is coming. We need to begin watching how people vote now. We need to begin a list of what we agree on and what we don’t. I have yet to see Cruz oppose what I think is right. He may have done so but I haven’t noticed. I am seeing that Cornyn is not always present in the fight to save America. I need to remember that in the primaries that are to come. In the general election Cornyn will almost certainly be better than what the Democrats have to offer but there might be some options in the primary.
Start watching now so that you will be ready in primary season. Your state will have different options and you will have different issues. If you live in Nancy Pelosi’s district then you have my sympathy.

Cornyn's probably too busy getting his boots shined.
