The Senate GOP is having a full-blown meltdown at President Trump\u2019s decision to endorse Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate Republican primary over establishment darling John Cornyn. And it is nothing short of glorious. <\/p>\n

Flanked by frowning members of Senate GOP leadership, Majority Leader John Thune somberly reaffirmed his support for the gun control-loving Cornyn, whom he called a \u201cprincipled conservative.\u201d Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker reportedly \u201cremained stone-faced (appeared to be intentional) for about 20 seconds\u201d when asked for his reaction to Trump\u2019s endorsement of Paxton. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski is reported to have thrown a temper tantrum at the president\u2019s refusal to back Cornyn. <\/p>\n

The Senate GOP\u2019s little pity parade continued into the members\u2019 Tuesday lunch over the recent ouster of Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy. The senators reportedly demonstrated their disapproval with Republican voters\u2019 decision to give Cassidy the boot in the state\u2019s Saturday primaries by giving him a standing ovation.<\/p>\n

Given this visceral reaction from the Republican conference, the casual observer may get the impression that Cornyn and Cassidy \u2014 both of whom hail from solid \u201cred states\u201d \u2014 are conservative stalwarts who play a vital role in advancing \u201cAmerica First\u201d priorities and stopping Democrat ones. <\/p>\n

But nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

In the decades he\u2019s served in the Senate, Cornyn has supported gun control legislation, called conservatives \u201cterrorists,\u201d attacked efforts to investigate anti-Trump lawfare, signaled support for amnesty for illegal aliens, opposed a border wall, pushed a bill advancing critical race theory, and backed Biden-era spending bombs. Meanwhile, Cassidy has voted for convicting Trump during his second impeachment, gun control, massive spending bills, and gave credence to Democrat lawfare by demanding Trump drop out of the 2024 presidential race after the Biden DOJ indicted him in a case over classified documents. <\/p>\n

All of these actions betray the fundamental interests of the Republican voters Cornyn and Cassidy were elected to represent. And yet, none of it is what\u2019s driving the Senate GOP conference to anger. <\/p>\n

By all accounts, many Senate Republicans are more furious at Cornyn\u2019s and Cassidy\u2019s prospective ousters than their shared history of stabbing GOP voters in the back.<\/p>\n

If that doesn\u2019t sound very \u201cprincipled,\u201d it\u2019s because it\u2019s not. It\u2019s petty vindictiveness that plagues most of the modern Republican Party.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t care about beating Democrats. Nor do they care about advancing their voters\u2019 interests (see their ongoing refusal to pass the SAVE America Act.)<\/p>\n

What it all boils down to is protecting the do-nothing system these Republicans have spent decades building, in which they feign outrage about Democrat overreach, campaign on fixing it, and then do absolutely nothing of consequence once given the power to do so.<\/p>\n

The survival of this entrenched status quo relies on a complacent GOP electorate that doesn\u2019t pay attention to what their elected officials are doing. What the Texas and Louisiana Senate primaries show, however, is that conservative voters (and Trump) have the ability to shatter this system. But it\u2019s going to take a lot of focus and strategy to make it happen.<\/p>\n
