Texas Senator John Cornyn might be a Republican from a deep-red state, but he doesn’t seem to know much about the average Trump supporter.
Trump was popular for several reasons: He promised to get tough on illegal immigration, he promised to restore law and order to the United States, and he promised to build the wall.
The wall, in particular, might be Donald Trump’s most popular policy. Trump certainly seemed to think so. While on the campaign trail, Trump confessed that he would circle back to “the wall” whenever his speeches lingered off-topic for too long.
But Senator Cornyn doesn’t seem to think the wall is that important. In fact, he thinks that the people of Texas — who voted overwhelmingly for Trump — don’t want a wall at all.
It’s an odd statement coming from a representative of the nation’s largest border state.
Watch him argue that Trump supporters don’t actually want a wall on the next page:
Build the wall
Build the wall and keep Americans safe
He got his voters mixed up with some liberals he has been talking to. We ( the ones that voted for Trump ) still want the wall. With no daca. No lottery system. No chain migration. Does this clear that up. Thank you.
Yes we want a wall Cornyn!
Completely out of what most Texans think, he needs to get out to ask the people in harm’s way. Good luck with being reelected.
Wrong you career politician idiot. We want the wall and term limits.
BS . All of the supporters that I know want the wall !
We want a WALL! BUILD THE BORDER WALL …
yes we do you idiot, time for term limits.
You’re wrong Cornyn…..we want a secured border. You will not have my vote.
