Texas Senator John Cornyn is trying real damn hard to curry favor with Donald Trump because … hell, your guess is as good as mine.  Trump is running 5 points behind Biden in Texas.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said during a TV interview Thursday that it’s unclear whether children can get and transmit COVID-19. That same day, Texas reported more than 550 COVID infections in children 9 and younger.

And now, Cornyn is backing off, saying he knew for a damn certain fact that children can get the virus but his earlier statement was about transmitting the virus.

So, let’s do an experiment. Let’s bring all Texas schoolchildren back to school and find out. That seems like the simplest way to find out, doesn’t it?

Texas Democrats will pick Cornyn’s opponent tomorrow in a special election runoff.  It’s between State Senator Royce West and former Air Force pilot M J Hegar.
