Thune And GOP Establishment Fight Harder For Worthless Cornyn Than SAVE Act:

The establishment GOP will stop at nothing to keep its power to do nothing.

Texans and MAGA voters’ first instinct if President Donald Trump follows through with his reported endorsement of Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas primary will be anger. The real object of their ire, however, is not Trump but Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who has spent more time campaigning to save another GOP establishment pawn from losing his upper chamber seat than he has saving the country from the clutches of the radical left.

It should not be difficult for a Republican trifecta to pass popular legislation enshrining the GOP’s election integrity agenda — or any other useful conservative policy — in law. Doing so would not only insulate Republicans from some of the shenanigans that have plagued elections all across the country, but it would also prove to Americans that members of the red party have earned reelection come November.

Yet, with Thune at the helm, the Senate has repeatedly stalled the SAVE America Act. Despite possessing a procedural option that would force Democrats to publicly explain their opposition to photo ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements in federal elections, Thune resorted to excuses about Senate bandwidth and practiced failure theater to get out of his responsibility to represent Republican voters.

This is classic failure theater from Thune. He doesn’t want to do the work of forcing Democrats to maintain a real filibuster, so he’s just going to file cloture on their zombie filibuster, which will fail.

Then he can immediately move on to what he really cares about: passing… https://t.co/O6k1g9CvmG

Thune has spent more time and effort, it seems, to protect his friend and ally from getting primaried by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton by goading Trump into handing the incumbent an endorsement.

“If the establishment fought as hard for the SAVE America Act as they do for a weak incumbent who spent $100 million only to be rejected by nearly 60% of GOP voters, it would already be law. It’s sad incumbent protection is more important than advancing President Trump’s agenda,” Paxton posted on Thursday.

Maybe Paxton is scrambling ahead of what has turned out to be one of the most heated primary-turned-runoffs in the nation and the looming news that Trump could endorse his opponent. Or maybe, just maybe, he’s right. --->READ MORE HERE

Paxton Is Doing More To Pass The SAVE Act Than Cornyn, And He’s Not Even In Congress Yet:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he would consider dropping his senatorial bid if Congress would lift the filibuster in order to pass the SAVE America Act.

Paxton and Sen. John Cornyn are headed to a runoff in May after neither candidate secured a majority of the vote during Tuesday’s primary.

The SAVE America Act would require documentary proof of citizenship to register and voter ID to cast a ballot in federal elections. The legislation is overwhelmingly popular, with polling showing roughly 80 percent of Americans — including a large number of Democrats — support voter ID and citizenship requirements.

“The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass, and I’m committed to helping President Trump get it done,” Paxton said Thursday in a post on X. “I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act.”

The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass, and I'm committed to helping President Trump get it done.

I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act.

John Cornyn…

Paxton says, despite Cornyn being a “coward” who “refused to support abolishing the filibuster to pass this bill,” and despite Paxton’s own record of loyalty to the president, “For the good of our country and for the good of passing President Trump’s agenda, I am determined to help him get this done.

”Cornyn responded to Paxton, saying “I support the bill and have encouraged Senate Republicans to get it done.

”But while Cornyn says he backs the legislation, he has also expressed reluctance to take the necessary steps to move it through the Senate, saying “there are a lot of questions,” about the feasibility of the talking filibuster. --->READ MORE HERE
