Would be nice to see him run against Cornyn in 2020.

I second that motion. He'd certainly get my vote.

He moved to Texas from Florida, didn’t he?

Yes, he did. Some years back, as I recall.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t he against Trump early on? Is he still a never Trumper? If so, he’ll be just another RINO. I hope I’m wrong, because I liked him when he was a Rep.

He came out in support of Trump way before the election.

Nope. Like it says in article, West lives in TX, now.

If that’s who you’re talking about ;-)

Oh why, oh why, wasn’t the first black president a real American, a person who was born here, served in the military and had married Christian American parents, a person like Allen West. It is sickening, and all I can say is, we could have done a lot better!

You are so correct. Why in the world did we elect an America Hating, Mooselimb, Marxist, Imposter, Lying POTUS???

I hate to say this but the first time around McShame gave it to Obama but the second time around Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan stunk the place up so bad and they should have won easily!

I’d love to see this! He says he wouldn’t run in 2018...so maybe 2020. He lives in Texas now.

Yes you are wrong because he never wrote anything negatively about President Trump. He mostly wrote about Congress and he also wrote about that arrogant pos former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Just because someone doesn't write an op-ed about President Trump or doesn't mention him, that person has to be a never Trumper.

I'm getting tired of that nonesense

Good.

We need him. Sewer needs to be drained, and he’s a no-bullshit man.

Was you one of those too that set the 2008 and 2012 general election out, or voted for some 3rd party member because you didn't like the nominee. If so than you are to blame along with those who sat the elections out or voted for someone that had no chance.

I didn’t say a damn thing about anyone writing op-eds. I vaguely remember listening to some interviews where he stated he wasn’t for Trump. I simply asked a question as to whether my recollections were true. Was he still against Trump? Maybe you need to reread what I wrote and tamp down your nonsense.

I thought he ran from Florida last time.

If he decides to make a go he had better get some people who know how to win campaigns not just rhetoricians. He could use some Trump magic.

He did, but moved to Texas after he lost.

Senators who are actually less than reliable don’t make your list, while some of the most reliable, very conservative Senators you say are “Democrats in R Jerseys.” You even have Ben Sasse on there with 94% liberty rating from Conservative Review - even getting 60% on that list is no easy accomplishment, let alone 94%, yet you declare he’s closer to being a Democrat than Republican. https://www.conservativereview.com/scorecard?chamber=senate&state=&party=R

Ok, he needs to move and run against one of these Democrats, in order of preference:

The first two are winnable; Al Green could probably be provoked into doing something stupid enough to lose; the last two would be Texas tuff. SJ has too much well-placed griftin' built up, and Gene is too clean.

OTOH, West fits 33rd like a glove in the way Bobo voters in MI and WI flipped for Trump ie they are open to prosperity gospel; and the 30th is just sexist/dumb/disconnected enough to vote for a successful black man over an ageing ratchet regardless of party.

We know you read this website Congressman ... so if you want to run, let us know ... a blue district Texas flip in 2020 might be very much needed ...

"Would be nice to see him run against Cornyn in 2020."

Oh hell yes! Cornyn is part of the problem. Colonel West said he would walk through hell with cans of gasoline to support the troops under his command. That is good enough for me. His actions in Iraq cost him his career in the Army. His actions saved lives of his men. He is a patriot!

His actions after leaving The Army have been 100% conservative and constitutional beliefs. We do not need one Colonel West, we need an army of people like Colonel West.

Go for it Colonel West be it Senator or representative. We have your back as you had the backs of our troops. There is a place for you here in Texas Colonel West.

After he left the Army he was a representative in Florida. He was Rino-ed out by the Republican Elite. The Republican Elite "can't handle the truth".
