Trump Despises RINOs. So Why Is He Reportedly About To Endorse One Of The Swamp’s Biggest?

 M.D. Kittle

Endorsing John Cornyn, the Senate’s leading RINO, would be disloyal to Texas’ loyal conservative base — and to himself.

If President Donald Trump is looking for a senator who embodies the spirit and action of “Republican in Name Only,” he couldn’t find no better man than milquetoast Texas Sen. John Cornyn.

The four-term RINO locked in a contentious GOP primary run-off battle against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton boasts a storied Senate career of genuflecting at the altar of the Swamp. Cornyn has been begging for Trump’s platinum endorsement more shamelessly than he’s prostituted himself for establishment cash.

And it’s looking like he might get the president’s seal of approval, if you can believe the Trump-hating Atlantic and other Pravda Press publications.

“President Trump’s political advisers expect him to endorse Senator John Cornyn in Texas’s May 26 Republican-primary runoff election following the incumbent’s better-than-expected finish against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the first round of voting [Tuesday] three people briefed on the deliberations told us,” The Atlantic’s Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker write.

“Republican strategists,” the corporate reporters assert, “hope the endorsement will make the Texas Senate race less expensive and less competitive.”

‘Be Careful What You Wish For’

But here’s the thing: Trump hates RINOs — and rightfully so. He’s said so many, many times. Just ask Indiana’s “pathetic” state Senate RINO’s who got a collective tummy ache over a midterm redistricting bill pushed by Trump that would have boosted GOP membership in a wafer-thin Republican majority House. Meanwhile, Democrats are redrawing blue state maps left and left to get a leg up in the midterms.

Just ask John Cornyn. In 2022, Trump blasted Cornyn for bowing alongside then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to the invidious gun control lobby.

“The deal on ‘Gun Control’ currently being structured and pushed in the Senate by the Radical Left Democrats, with the help of Mitch McConnell, RINO Senator John Cornyn of Texas, and others, will go down in history as the first step in the movement to TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY. Republicans, be careful what you wish for!!!” Trump wrote on his social media site, Truth Social.
