If you keep your LBJ’s at bay we will keep our Gore’s at bay.
The Republican governors need to get together and stop the TSA and HS first and foremost. If all republican states sided with Texas on the groping bill, Washington would cave in a heartbeat. I’m done with the hijack, but Texas looks weak after pulling that bill.
