“Senator Phil Gramm was also a democrat who switched to the Republican party and proceeded to win reelection more than once.”
Yup and Phil Gramm was and is more consevative than most of the current Republicans in the US Senate. A great Senator.
Yes, Phil Gramm was much more conservative than the two RINO senators Texas has now. Zell Miller could have switched parties and would have been more conservative than most current (R) senators.
