'Faced with a surprisingly competitive reelection race, Texas Sen. John Cornyn is trying to argue to voters that he actually hasn't been a rubber stamp for President Trump,' CillizzaCNN writes. | Analysis

In fact, of the current 53 Republicans in the Senate, only Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler and North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer have voted more often in support of Trump's policies, according to 538's vote-tracker.Which is why it's sort of funny -- or, maybe more accurately, sad -- that Cornyn, now facing a serious test for reelection on November 3, is trying to present himself as something other than an ardent backer of the President's policies.

In each episode of his weekly YouTube show, Chris Cillizza will delve a little deeper into the surreal world of politics. Click to subscribe! What Cornyn would like the voters of Texas to believe is that, despite the fact that 538 says he supported Trump's policies 95% of the time, he actually disagreed with the President regularly but always did so in private. On what issues? Deficits and trade, according to Cornyn. And how did his private opposition influence Trump's positions on these key issues? It appears the answer is not at all.It is a remarkable thing that Cornyn is attempting here.

Watch 'SNL' Flip Between Joe Biden, Donald Trump 'Dueling Town Halls'“We now present a rebroadcast of those town halls the way most Americans watched them… Flipping back and forth, trying to decide between a Hallmark movie and an alien autopsy” Jim Carrey is a talented guy but his “Clint Eastwood on Prozac” version of Biden isn’t working, mainly due to the scripts. Joe is a kindly, earnest guy, who believes most people are innately good. THAT is where to find an impression of him. nbcsnl’s writers have to learn this. I'm not sure if I like Jim Carrey playing Biden. Something rubs me the wrong way with it. I love him as a comedian, I love his art work, I love the look he has as Biden, but something just seems off to me. I feel he is playing Biden as somewhat of a fool.
