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:
Has this man even bothered to ask any Trump supporters? I think not, or he is lying(which is most likely
Yes, build the wall. It’s just one of the best ways to keep our great country safe, and it will slow the drugs from entering.
Yes we do want a wall.
John Cornyn:
I’m a Trump supporter. I live in Texas. You are wrong, we do want the wall. I suspect you know that; if you don’t you have a major problem. We will vote you OUT if you don’t get on board or if you interfer with it’s progress in any way.
why why give the truth .,,,u want the money
We don’t ???? I thought I did ! How do these people get elected ?
And they get mucho dinero from a handful of very wealthy Rio Grande
Landowners who make lots of money.
Pathetic! Vote him out !
He must be asking McCain, Flake and Corker. He’s not talking to middle America. He needs to get out of Washington DC!
Excuse me? You do not speak for me. I want a wall and legal immigration. And before any one asks, most of my family came through Ellis island.
