Off the Cuff Sep 28th, 2019 by Charles Kuffner.
A Dallas investor branding himself a “Reagan Republican†has launched a primary challenge against U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, calling one of the top-ranking GOP senators a lackey of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Donald Trump.
Mark Yancey, the former owner of the Dallas Wings WNBA team, said in his campaign announcement that he has “good reason†to believe Cornyn is vulnerable as he jumped into a Republican field that could soon swell to include three challengers.
Even if Yancey falls short, the primary fight could force Cornyn to spend some much-needed cash ahead of what is widely expected to be the toughest election battle of his three-term career in the Senate. Democratic El Paso Congressman Beto O’Rourke came within three percentage points of beating Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in the 2018 elections, and the Democrats are redoubling efforts in Texas in 2020.
Yancey in his announcement branded himself a moderate Republican — a new tack against Cornyn, who has previously fended off primary attacks from the right.

He sounds perfectly suited for politics, branding himself a "Reagan Republican," and a "moderate."

Yep. That combination is a non-starter

He does. And, remember, Cornyn went in as a staunch conservative.
