The fact that this race may be 3 white men named John running against each other says a lot about the GOP

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Rich, white men named John.
- John Cornyn: Estimated net worth of $5 million
- John A Barrasso: Estimated net worth of $9.1 million
- John Thune: net worth of $5 million.
Not so amusingly, John Cornyn only had an estimated net worth of $1,884,522 in 2018 and Thune had a paltry estimated net worth of $310,512 in 2018. I guess it's good to be ~~the king~~ a US Senator. Barrasso must be slacking off. His net worth has only gone up about $800,000 since 2018.
"I guess it's good to be ~~the king~~ a US Senator" who just got done passing a tax law that was a massive giveaway to corporations and the mega wealthy to whom a couple of million dollars is just a rounding error, but I'm sure that's a coincidence /s
Multiple choice:
A. Morally corrupt dip shit B. Actually corrupt conman C. Russian asset D. All of the above
"Hey, guys! Vote for me, John Cornyn, for Republican Senate Leader! At least I'm not Tommy Tuberville or Herschel Walker!"
"Walker lost that election, John."
"See? I bet Tuberville didn't even know that! Vote for me!"
If it's a Republican from Texas then they can fuck off.
