Yes Strauss needs to go. He is maybe worse than Boehner and it makes less sense why they put up with him not that Texas has a larger R majority. Strauss is the ultimate good ole boy insider cut throat, loving perks of power (UT admissions business).
Straus’ liberal Republican family was close to John Tower, and Straus used to chauffeur Tower around. Tower, like Scalise, was once a strong conservative, but something happened c. 1973. It’s called ‘’Roe v. Wade’’.
