Possible Grassroots Challenger to John Cornyn for US Senate

Some interesting news from Adam Cahn at Cahnman’s Musings…texas

Last night, we were invited to join the Facebook group “Draft David Barton for U.S. Senate.”  Putting it mildly, that piqued our interest.  Cahnman’s Musings has spent a substantial amount of time tracking this rumor today.

According to multiple sources, last week a meeting occurred between Tea Party leaders and a representative for Barton.  Sources report both sides left the meeting encouraged.  Right now, speculation Barton might run is “legitimate.”


This is a major development.  David Barton would be an incredible U.S. Senator.  In 2012, David Barton was an early supporterof Ted Cruz.  Barton is a former Vice Chair of the Texas Republican Party.  Currently, Barton runs “WallBuilders,” a ministry dedicated to rescuing the truth about America’s Judeo-Christian heritage.

As a United States Senator, Barton would be an ally of Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul.  Were Barton to run, his campaign would be a grassroots campaign similar to Ted Cruz’s.  Like Cruz, Barton wouldn’t owe the establishment anything.

If Barton runs should he look forward to a colonoscopy…from the GOP?  The party is not supposed to take sides in a primary, right?  Or is that like all that ftuff in the platform–to be ignored when inconvenient?
