It seemed like one of those movies with twin brothers played by the same actor, one with glasses and one without. There is the brash, undisciplined one and the nerdy, engaging one. In my case it wasn’t a movie but a 45-minute interview with Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
I was a tough critic of his performance in 2012, but so is he. He told me, “2011-12 was a frustrating, painful, humbling experience but not a bad one in the sense we sometimes learn the most when we are humbled.” He said one lesson is that you have to be physically fit for the presidential campaign grind. “Running six weeks after back surgery was a mistake,” he said flatly. He also made clear how much preparation is needed. He called a presidential campaign “one of the most difficult experiences. Even if I ran for governor four times, that is not enough to really prepare you.”

That's another thing that will have to change. This faggoty business of letting liberal states that never vote for a conservative choose the nominee has to stop.
And if it doesn't, then their liberal nominee has to lose at the general election.
They can fix that, or lose.

They can fix that, or lose.”
So, seriously, how do we get that changed?
They won't listen and they will laugh at us.
So we quit voting for the candidates that they select in the liberal early primary states.
Just don't vote for them in the general election.
It will take time, and it will suck in the mean time, but eventually, the idiots will figure out that running a liberal candidate picked in liberal northeastern states that never vote conservative.... those guys are going to lose in the general every single time.
But it will be slow. And people will hate you because you vote for principle over liberal expediency.
Nobody said it would be easy.

I’ve been voting for slightly more than 50 years now and while the faces at the top change periodically, the practices do not. Maybe when enough people have had enough crammed down their throat they will push for change. In the last election in Texas we were able to make some strides forward. Just wish that we would have had a good solid candidate to run against Cornyn that people could have gotten behind.
No, it won’t be easy, but as someone once said, “There ain’t no such a thing as a free lunch”.
Given my nature, I don't expect to see the outcome.
That's ok. My grandkids care.
We've got 6 years to remove Cornyn.

With respect, if Gov. Perry had made it an issue it would have had a much better chance of being law today, notwithstanding the views of your Lt Governor. The bully pulpit has some power, but obviously the governor had other priorities. Maybe there was a La Raza leadership breakfast he needed to attend?
Have you ever been to a precinct meeting? That is where it starts.
If you think the GOPe cares if their mod/lib RINO candidates get beat, you're wrong. Better to go down in defeat than to have a conservative candidate.
That's why the primaries are scheduled so that liberal states choose POTUS candidates.
It starts with the delegates, to conventions, chosen in precinct meetings.
