yep, there is a big issue here - and she missed it. She is right on the bigger point, however. A conservative leader, one with some media savvy, should have taken the lead on this - AND helped shelter Bundy from the media and himself.
This person, (Cruz?) could have kept the heat on Harry and his hired thugs in the BLM. I haven’t heard Cruz say anything about the Red River border wars - has anybody else?
Given that the issue is, at bottom, a state vs federal matter, it was the governor's job to have stood with Bundy.
Sandoval missed an opportunity to become the leader of a movement.
Similarly, it will be the job of the Texas governor to lead the opposition to any BLM land grab on the Red River. I've no doubt that both Perry and Abbott will be up to the job.
