John Culberson served for years in the Texas Legislature before going to Washington in 2001. He is a long time friend whom I personally think would make a GREAT president but that’s because I don’t mind - in fact I like it a LOT - the fact that he talks VERY straight! Ask John a question and you will get the answer as he knows it without any varnish at all.
That is NOT a quality that endears him to some people and would drive the MSM in this country ABSOLUTELY nuts! Besides that, John doesn’t have anywhere near the personal wealth necessary to undertake such a venture.
His brother, Jim, is a political official in Brevard/Indian River County, Florida. They are both solid Conservative Republicans.
