I never saw this one coming, but it’s here and today I want to bestow on a veteran Texas senator an award he wouldn’t like receiving but he’s going to get it anyway.

Republican John Cornyn is the winner of the High Plains Blogger Charade Gamer of the Year award. How did he earn this honor?

The nature of his political campaign for re-election to the Senate makes it sound as if Donald Trump endorsed him in the upcoming GOP runoff election and not his opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Texans have been “treated” to TV ads showing the MAGA meister in chief heaping praise on Cornyn for all the work he did to secure our borders, fight crime and back Trump’s political agenda. Cornyn tells us he “voted with Trump 99% of the time,” and worked to appoint conservative judges to the federal bench.

It’s a sham, man!

Paxton drew Trump’s endorsement because he’s a MAGA moron through and through. Paxton’s own ads show Trump spouting those meaningless platitudes about Paxton. He calls the AG a “winner,” a “great guy.” No mention of his work as attorney general. Not a word specifically citing a particular policy.

Cornyn, though, continues to campaign as if he’s the candidate who garnered POTUS’s endorsement.

I don’t have a dog in this fight. I’m not voting in the GOP runoff. My hope rests with the Democratic nominee, Texas state Rep. James Talarico. However, my ears aren’t deceiving me. John Cornyn sounds like the guy blazing to the finish line with the cherished endorsement of Donald the Crook.

It’s all phony … just like the POTUS.
