Im not sure what point you are trying to make. Houston has had a Dem mayor since 1982. There are three districts (Central and North Houston, East Houston, SW Houston) which send democrats to office. Sheila Jackson Lee’s has gone Dem since 73, Al Green’s since ‘97, and Gene Green’s has always been democrat.
So I think that does give credence to the fact that Houston, a democrat city, wants its city to act this way. Their sheriff, along with Dallas’, is a hispanic democrat.
I think we should draft Maine Governor Paul LePage. He’s not afraid to tell Obama where to go.
