"What’s more certain is that Trump did himself no favors by destroying #Cornyn’s career over a grudge that is over five years old. The move signaled to Republicans the futility of bending over backwards to help Trump, which is all Cornyn has done since then. Trump is destroying their personal hold on power, and that the one thing members of his party can’t abide. Even Republicans have their limits."

I know. I read that too and wondered if it might be true. Maybe when it comes to ego (for some, not Rubio or Cruz or many others). We'll see what Cornyn does in his remaining months.

@CindyWeinstein @AmandaMarcotte We have a decade of data on this.
