I hope we hear more of this every day. A wholesale turnover in the Congress would be a good thing. Hell 535 people selected randomly from the phone book would be an improvement.

He’s got a lifetime Heritage Action Score of 84%, which is actually pretty good even for a Republican.

"Hell 535 people selected randomly from the phone book would be an improvement." I like it.

Decent for a Republican, not so great for a TEXAS Republican. Maybe he can relocate to Oregon or Pennsylvania.

It looks like his district includes part of the Dallas metro area, so maybe 84% is the best you’re going to get there.

Heritage is not the gold standard, imo.
Big backer of Rubio, among other issues.

P.S. — George W. Bush was a Texas Republican, too. Texas ain’t what it used to be.

It's not a gold standard but it's a pretty good indicator. What usually tells a bigger story is where Heritage stands on issues they use to measure their scores, and where the Congressmen vote on those issues to get higher or lower scores.
It looks like this guy voted the opposite way Heritage wanted on budget bills, Puerto Rico financial relief, and Federal spending on health care and education. He voted for all these, while Heritage opposed them.

They will have to drag Piglosi, Waters, Wilson, Feinswine, et al. out by the hair. Then drag Cummings, Schumer, et al. out by their parts.
Then we have to suffer with McLame, Linda Graham, and the GOP douche bags.

Dallas is a more friendly swamp for him now.

If he backed Rubio, he backs amnesty.

Read the breitbart article up now on this. Says this guy is a close friend of Ryan’s and establishment. Good he is leaving.
