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 DonaldĀ 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:
Yes we do
Gee I wonder what color the sky is in Sen Cornyn’s world is?
Virtually all legislators from areas on the border oppose the wall.
The wall is worthless.
I’m a Trump supporter and I want a wall….
We do need the wall!
To me there are two answers, we need a wall but the most important thing we need is to cut the benefits. When you see how poor these people are and they know what they can get here a wall won’t stop them if the benefits are here when they do get here, it will just slow them down.
Yes they do
Don’t speak for me,I’m a supporter of Trump and yes I do want that wall!!!!!!!!
I want a wall built, but I know it will probably not ever be built.
