His ‘gaffes’ - they will always find something when they want it. Yet, they couldn’t do what he has done. I, too, look at long term performance unlike the ‘instant’ generation - ‘look what he just did’.
Like support of the Corridor? Or support of an STD shot for schoolgirls?
About the only performance a Texas governor can turn in is:
a) Didn't screw up.
b) used what little power he/she has with access to the bully pulpit to screw up royally, and p!$$ people off.
Heck, Ma Ferguson did a tolerable job of p!$$ing people off, considering that half the Texas Rangers quit, and the other half got fired.
