Heard him on Joe Pags yesterday on WOAI. I got the impression he was spitting out his “proven record of” talking points as fast as he could. Turned me off a bit, as did his series of ads touting his dad’s experiences in Cuba as somehow making Cruz a better candidate. OTOH, I think Dewhurst has been in Texas politics way too long.
And, of course, Sarah’s opinion goes a long way with me (see tag).
Actually Dewhurst has not been in Texas politics that long. He is not a career politician, never ran for public office until he was fifty-three years old, after making it in business.
He is a proven conservative and we are lucky to have him. Cruz might be conservative but he has never proven it in an elective office where you have to show yourself by engaging in the legislative and budgeting process and casting votes.
