Thanks...older now, but still keeping up well.

He also had to fend off criticisms from his opponents, who have made an issue of his decision to leave the state to work in the Obama administration.

Who is the “HE” referred to as going to work for Obummer?

Poorly written sentences.

The "HE" is Huntsman. The confusion was caused by me being forced to be merciless in excerpting a long article. The original is probably more clear.

I’m sorry. LOL

I hope this doesn’t affect your future posts. I love them.

Thanks, Doc.

Huntsman is a total RINO!

I think Cruz would not have been far from Trump on policy or judicial picks. They differ greatly in public style.

So Cox made a choice - backed Cruz - based on style. That also was not hard for a Republican who believed he was favoring a Conservative established Republican with a record vs a newly minted Republican with no public office record.

I am not a “never Trumper”, but in 2016 I think Cox felt most strongly against Trump based on style and on all he did not yet know about Trump the elected office holder vs what he felt he did know, from the record, about Cruz.

I would have preferred Cox to Huntsman anyway.
