His resume looks good but I don’t trust the Texas Tribune.

He’s a self-described Reagan Republican — a label that invokes a conservative hero but that has lost some of its currency in a party swept by a wave of Tea Party fiscal conservatism and, in Texas, by a resurgent strain of social conservatism.

That sentence makes absolutely no sense.

I was initially skeptical about this statement:
as a forum for his argument that the state’s public schools aren’t getting youths ready for careers. (i don’t think public schools should be directing students. they should teach fundamentals RRR and these can be basically taught in several years.) Students should be allowed to exit the system(uugh) when they are prepared to divert their training to other areas. i hated school.
but after reading the article i was impressed by his policy on education. I.e.
He has been a loud critic of one-size-fits-all testing in public schools, arguing that the state shouldn’t try to send every high scholer to college, but instead should give some of them the technical or vocational training they need to go to work after high school. wish i lived in texas we should have these type of discussion here in bankrupt philly

Actually that is a pretty good description of him. His record as state GOP chairman was stellar. I think of him as the anti-Rove.

A Major Watershed issue is the active deportation of the ‘Ted Kennedy Wetbacks,’ and other alien illegal invaders in TEXAS.

The Perry-Bush Amnesty Wing of the RINO Party had their chance, now let’s see what the new crop of politicians stand on punishment for illegal alien invaders.

BTW Tom Pauken, don’t fall for the sucker bait of illegal alien invaders will someday ever vote for you. They are from Socialist Countries, and will vote Socialist here.

No he isn't. In my opinion of knowing about him for many years, he is a disaster and a destroyer - that is my opinion. Couldn't believe he's running for governor. I'll take Attorney General Greg Abbott in a wheelchair any day. It's Abbott who had Cruz working with him in his Attorney General’s office.

I do not “know” a lot of big political names, nor have I met many. However, I have met Greg Abbott: A humbler, more sincere, more decent man I have seldom met. He will meet with the “regular folks,” not just the “important givers.” He does not put on airs. But his policies can be tough as nails. The same day that the Supreme Court invalidated the VRA, he implemented Texas’s Voter ID Act and new districts! He is NO RINO!

On the other hand, I know next to nothing about Mr Pauken.
