Whether you agree or disagree, don’t underestimate.
Personally I miss Bill Clements.
I liked him, too, he was a good governor. But the best one was Dolph Briscoe. Dolph proved in the 70s that Texas didn't need a governor (because he rarely showed up at the state house in Austin) and he never shared his opinion on any issue affecting Texas until 3 days after he was asked when his wife Janey told him what his opinion was.
