The most important reason that inspired me to support Donald Trump in 2016 was that he appeared to be a fighter.
That did not work out.
Trump has not thrown a politically consequential counter punch, or a consequential offensive punch, in the last seven years.
By the way, does anyone remember Congressman Tom DeLay from Texas?
DeLay was Gingrich's #1 ally in Congress.
The GOP allowed the Texas State Prosecutor in Austin to destroy DeLay with almost ten years of criminal litigation after Gingrich crashed and burned.
You’re right about Newt, but Delay was a snake. Good riddance. The problem is the conservatives don’t provide a strong replacement when one goes down. That is my concern if Paxton goes down. At least Paxton appointed his replacement.
