NOTE: My friend Jack Wheeler asked me to write his weekly Half-Full Report this week, as I have done many times over the years. But it occurs to me: maybe what our Members need is exactly this sort of weekly roundup. Would you do me a favor, read tonight’s HFR, and tell me your thoughts at the bottom (there’s a poll and everything)!
You will note that the HFR has a bit of a different style and tone than our normal stuff. It’s all the info, twice the attitude! — RDM

Welcome to another exuberant Half-Full Report! I’m Rod Martin, filling in for the irreplaceable Jack Wheeler, with lots of good news to share. Let’s get started.
We begin with our HFR Loser of the Week - John Cornyn (RINO-TX). What can you even say for an incumbent U.S. Senator — since 2002! — who dropped $111 million dollars, outspent his opponent nearly 10-1, and still lost by 2-1?
Oh, that’s easy. You can say Donald Trump now owns the Republican Party.
