But?
He kept his disagreements ‘private’….
That is until it it looks like Trump & Co. is about to lose and he needs to win on his own…..
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn acknowledged Friday that at times he has disagreed with President Trump on issues such as budget deficits and debt, tariffs and trade agreements and border security.
But, the senior Republican senator from Texas, who is being challenged by Democrat MJ Hegar, said he chose to work on those disagreements with the president’s staff in private discussions, rather than by publicly voicing his opposition.
Although polls show Cornyn with a small lead over Hegar, both candidates are vying for undecided voters during an extraordinary election season in which many once-solid Republican public office seats are now in reach for Democrats.

@realDonaldTrump
like this unless (1) he thinks the president is an albatross, (2) he thinks the president may very well lose, and (3) he thinks he — Cornyn — is in the kind of could-lose race that requires him to publicly consciously uncouple #tx2020
