RE: Path to Victory 2020



What a night! 

* Senator Cornyn was reelected overwhelmingly as the Republican nominee for
U.S. Senate, receiving more than 1.2 millionmore votes than his nearest
competitor… earning more than 76% of votes in a 5-way race!
* Almost a hundred thousand more Republicans voted in the U.S. Senate primary
than in the Democrat primary.
* The #TXSEN Democrats are likely going into a RECOUNT before they head into
theirRUN-OFF.
* In what is supposed to be a two-person race, the Democrats still have three
candidates – with “Undecided” remaining the frontrunner.
* 77% of Democrat voters rejected Chuck Schumer’s handpicked candidate.
* Sanders and Biden are virtually tied… and actually agree on more than
voters know(more on this below!). 
I am grateful to everyone who knocked on doors, made phone calls, hosted
events and spread the word that we need tokeep Senator Cornyn fighting for us
in the U.S. Senate! Our campaign is working closely Republicans running up and
down the ticket, and has put together an incredible grassroots machine that
helped propel us to victory.

 

Now the real work begins…

 

The stage is set for the greatest referendum of our lifetimes:

Will Americans choose Bernie-style socialism… or Will they choose freedom and
prosperity?

OUTLOOK: SENATE RACE

We always knew there would be a run-off. But even after the election last
night, we don’t know who will be in in it yet – Hollywood Hegar vs. Rut Roh
Royce or AOCristina.

 

Hegar is Chuck Schumer’s handpicked choice and admitted voting for
northeastern liberal, Elizabeth Warren, for president. In a race where the
majority of Democrats didn’t know anything about their candidates,Hegar’s pick
for Warren gives voters a window into how she would vote on key issues.

 

Despite getting in the race first, having the backing of the entire DC
Democratic and Hollywood elite, plus $3.5 million in SuperPAC adsHegar didn’t
even receive a quarter of the Democrat vote! No doubt the elites must be
questioning their investment this morning.

 

More on her policies: Hollywood Hegar wants to expand Obamacare, use taxpayer
funds for Planned Parenthood, and says climate change is her #1 priority. She
was against President Trump’s actions to protect our nation by taking out
Qassem Soleimani, a terrorist who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of
Americans.

 

After a likely recount, Hollywood Hegar will face either #AOCristina Tzintzún
Ramirez or “Ruh Roh” Royce West in the May run-off.

 

Austin community activist, Tzintzún Ramirez, is trying to pick-up where Beto
left off and Bernie begins –embracing every facet of Medicare-for-None, the
Green New Deal, “free” college, and guaranteed federal jobs for all. She wants
labor unions at the head of the negotiation table for trade deals, and has been
endorsed by the most liberal members of Congress – AOC and Joaquin Castro. This
embrace by The Squad inspired her nickname: AOCristina, and she thinks anyone
who doesn’t share her radical views are “nonbelievers.

”

 

Royce West wants to expand Obamacare by rolling back President Trump’s tax
cuts, and stands with Wendy Davis to promote taxpayer funding of Planned
Parenthood and on-demand abortions.  

 

The Far Left’s agenda promoted by these candidates is in stark contrast to
Senator Cornyn’s strong record fighting for all Texans.

 

The Center for Effective Lawmaking named Senator Cornyn one of the top five
most effective Republican Senators.

 

* Passing the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – helping families and businesses
keep more of what they earn
* Authoring the Affordable Prescriptions for Patients Act – lowering the cost
of prescription drugs by preventing pharmaceutical companies from gaming the
patent system
* Leading the charge to confirm conservative judges across the nation – 190
nationally, 21 in Texas – plus two Supreme Court Justices!
* Sponsoring and passing the Fix NICS Act – an overwhelmingly bipartisan
effort supported Second Amendment, domestic violence, and law enforcement
groups that enhances compliance and ensures accuracy of existing background
check systems for firearm purchases
* Sponsoring and passing the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act –
cracking down on human trafficking and providing care and justice to survivors,
especially children, of trafficking
 

A testament to his statewide grassroots support, Senator Cornyn has more than
44,000 donors and received thousands of endorsements from Texans – including
organizations like the Texas Farm Bureau AGFUND and Texas Alliance for Life.

 

 

OUTLOOK: PRESIDENTIAL RACE

 

There’s no question that both party’s presidential candidate is going to have
a profound impact down ballot. As of now, the Democratic nomination for
president is also undecided. Despite their differences in style,Sanders and
Biden actually agree on more than voters know. 

 

Since announcing his candidacy for President in the Democrat Primary, Biden
has voiced support for plans or policies that most Texans would find extreme,
including;

 

* Eliminating Fossil Fuels
<[link removed]>
* The Green New Deal
<[link removed]>
* A Federal Gun Buy Back
<[link removed]>

Monday night in Dallas, Biden even declared
<[link removed]>
that Beto O'Rourke would lead his anti-gun agenda. This is the same Beto who
refused to challenge Senator Cornyn after he tacked so far to the Left that
even he knew he stood no chance at winning statewide in Texas again. The idea
that 2020 Joe Biden – after spending months embracing the Far Left’s ideas in
an effort to keep up with Bernie – is some moderate alternative is laughable.
For Senator Cornyn and candidates around the country, in effect, running
against Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden will be virtually identical.

 

Why President Trump Will Win

 

The U.S. has added more than 7 million
<[link removed]> jobs since President Trump was
elected. – The unemployment rate remained near generational lows at 3.6%. –
We’re seeing the fastest wage growth for low- and middle-income Americans. –
And unemployment is at a record low for all workers, especially women and
minorities.

 

We have a new and improved trade agreement in the USMCA. – We’re experiencing
a Blue Collar Boom!

 

A recent Gallup poll shows 90% of Americans say they are living a happy and
fulfilled life
<[link removed]>
– the highest in four decades.

 

Under President Trump’s leadership, we’ve confirmed 190 new, conservative
judges – including 21 here in Texas – plus, two Supreme Court justices. The
conservative transformation of our courts will be President Trump’s single
greatest legacy.

 

President Trump has rebuilt our military after years of neglect by the Obama
Administration. He has also made consequential changes to our criminal justice
system rooted in fairness, second chances, and rectifying disparities.



PATH TO VICTORY 2020

 

With the momentum gained last night, Team Cornyn is going to continue to build
and run a strong grassroots campaign – drawing in new people to our party,
including young and diverse voters. We are organizing in every corner of our
state and ceding no ground.

 

Senator Cornyn is respected by his colleagues as a thoughtful, conscientious
leader. Texans know he cares deeply about the future of our state and country
and will work forcommonsense conservative solutions for the challenges we face.

 

We are projecting that turnout will be around 11.6 million voters. In 2014 –
which was Senator Cornyn’s last race – there were only 4.6 million voters that
turned out to vote. This means in order for Senator Cornyn to win, he will need
more votes to win in 2020 than were cast in 2014.

 

In 2018, Texas lost 2 Congressional seats, 2 State Senate seats and 12 State
House seats. We are only 9 seats away from losing the majority in the Texas
House. The National Pool exit polls in 2018 showed that 38% of Texans identify
themselves as Republicans and 34% identify themselves as Democrats only giving
Texans a 4% advantage.

 

There were 6 Republican Congressional seats that had a 5% victory or less.
These are all now being targeted by the DCCC in 2020.

 

Democrats showed their true potential in 2018 through Beto’s field game. Look
for them to use this momentum and a new volunteer bench to correct their
mistakes and really challenge us in 2020.

 

As we set our sights on November, are taking nothing for granted. Ours is an
effort that isinclusive, positive, optimistic, forward looking… the kind of
leadership and message thatwill help Republicans up and down the ballot as well.

 

Thank you again for your commitment to the conservative cause.

 

On to victory!
