Cornyn on Fox: Democrats Should Ignore Base, Allow Vote on Gorsuch

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed President Trump's Supreme Court nominee during an interview today with Fox News' Happening Now. Excerpts from the interview are below, and video of his remarks can be found here.

"Chuck Schumer has the hardest job in Washington. He's got to appease the Bernie Sanders-Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democratic Caucus and still try to be the Minority Leader."

"I think our new President would be eager to go to the states that he carried in the election on November the 8th where these Democrats are running for reelection in 2018 and make the case. So I think he can use his powers of persuasion and his popularity in those states to help us get those 60 votes."

"If Chuck Schumer and the Bernie Sanders-Elizabeth Warren wing of the party are going to tell these people to vote to block President Trump's outstanding pick for the Supreme Court, they are going to have to pay a political price. I'm sure they're calculating just how much they want to go with their leadership, or how much they want to go with this outstanding pick and their voters in their state."
