Speculating about Cornyn's tweet, because we can do that on a blog

John Cornyn tweeted:

Ever notice how dangerous it is for an elected official to publically change their mind on an issue?

The Hill thinks it is about the omnibus spending bill:

It is unclear to what Cornyn (Texas) is referring, but he did catch flak from some for requesting millions of dollars in earmarks in the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill, which he said came earlier this year.
The first thing that jumped into my mind was the KBH flips on Dream Act and earmarking, but that's just speculation. As NRSC chairman, he encouraged her not to resign in the last cycle, but he doesn't really have any stake in her decision this cycle: whether she retires or not, it is very likely that there will be a competitive Republican primary this year.

Figuring out what Cornyn meant is a fun parlor game. I really have no idea, maybe it was the earmarks.

Ever notice how dangerous it is for an elected official to publically stubbornly refuse to change their mind on an issue?
