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.
Yes, you’re right. Sandoval gave lip service, but didn’t get out in front of the cause.
Perry and Abbot have made it very clear that the BLM will be met with resistance in Texas - the clear implication was military resistance.
