I do not “know” a lot of big political names, nor have I met many. However, I have met Greg Abbott: A humbler, more sincere, more decent man I have seldom met. He will meet with the “regular folks,” not just the “important givers.” He does not put on airs. But his policies can be tough as nails. The same day that the Supreme Court invalidated the VRA, he implemented Texas’s Voter ID Act and new districts! He is NO RINO!
On the other hand, I know next to nothing about Mr Pauken.
Then go ahead and meet him. Judge for yourself. Don’t take my comments into account. Do you live near Rockwall County. He will be there this Saturday?
