Wall Street Journal: “Ask Sen. John Cornyn’s loyalists about him and the same words come up again and again. Steady. Statesman. Calm.”

“They aren’t words associated much with politics anymore.”

“The senior senator from Texas is locked in the fight of his political life after four decades in public office.
