So are you saying it is a good thing Straus got bounced from the National Convention or were you taken aback by the state delegate’s actions?

No, I think it was a despicable abuse of power and trust. I am working on limited battery power and a mobile WiFi hotspot in my cell phone, so I won't be able to post much till after I get home. I would have never voted to put this woman on the nominations committee if I had known she would abuse her position like this.

Staus declared war on conservatives in the Texas House so how can you be upset? He got what he deserved, IMO. I can't stand the guy.

Straus redistricted so that he could get rid of the conservatives who voted against him for speaker. How can you defend that?

My district lost our conservative St. Rep and he lost in his new district...all orchestrated by Straus.

Abuse of power? Look at Joe Straus, he collaborative with democrats against Texas Conservatives.

She got rid of Joe Straus, who’s office was of serous consequence to the people of Texas. If you can say she had any offence here in how she did it, it was minor.

Should she have selected someone else to replace Joe? Yes.

But truth be said I don’t really care any Actual republican is better than backstabbing Joe. To be honest I think this is poetic Justice for Joe.

Don't know about all the behind-the-scenes intrigue, but I'm more than happy to see that despicable RINO Straus get bounced out of the national convention.

Good riddance. One less back-stabbing slug infesting the convention.

I love it Straus is the biggest RINO in the House. His vote would be for anything but conservative!
