I mean, it's crazy that the co-founder of Code Pink, Medea Benjamin, was cheering Trump when he went after Jeb Bush. She was the same persistent protestor in Congress against the Iraq War and in front of President Obama during his time over the wars.
True although Democrats really have nothing to lose here by bringing it up in the narrative of government overspending and the debt (the Iraq War as well as Afghanistan War blew up the debt). Cornyn did nothing to stop this debt is what the Democratic Senate Candidate can argue, not just the bankrolling the wars. It's so obvious.
Cornyn can still be tied to the dysfunctional system the GOP makes Congress as although it depends on how the Democratic Senate campaign sells this message.
To your point on the last sentence, yes, I agree that making the argument on balanced budgets is not the most productive way to win elections in this environment. Democrats can worry about balancing the budget when they have power. The Democratic Party agenda is bigger than this.
I was just pointing out the hypocrisy side of Cornyn as a rhetorical argument.
I am still mystified as to why all of the Democratic challengers to John Cornyn in previous Senate races don't bring up his pro-Iraq War votes.
If I were any of them, I'd give Cornyn the same treatment that Trump gave Jeb Bush over Dubya.
Probably the one thing I ever agreed with Trump on.

Sadly, that's an old issue for Americans now and very unlikely to garner any appreciable number of votes.

Nobody really cares about overspending or the debt.
If the GOP wants to claim they care, we use their arguments against them.
That would be getting sidetracked. Democrats should not campaign on balanced budgets, etc.

That wouldn't fly with Texas Republicans the way it would in a national primary.
Well, either way, Democrats should have a better strategy than having to wait for Ken Paxton to primary John Cornyn out of office.
