Unfortunately, Hensarling or another solid conservative is not stepping up to the plate.
I think Hensarling is holding out for Boehner’s position, not planning to compete for the less influential number two spot.
Why isn’t Jeb Hensarling in the conversation?
Fear for Texas on immigration, if Pete Sessions rides in. There is even screen footage of his disdain for fellow conservatives in the House and he was, is not now, and shall not be found as a friend to Cruz.
Nevermind that Pete is regularly confused with the conservative Jeff Sessions (AL) in the senate, and unfortunately rides that confusion to his advantage in the public by happen stance.
The border must be secured. Pete will say so. Then he will build a little coalition to continue entertaining the discussion on “immigration reform” exactly like Cantor and McCarthy and Boehner.
It seems self defeating to get played by the “R’s”. Token Red state representation is no real gain if he is no friend to conservatives. Be assured there is no gain for conservatives with Empty Pistol Pete.
I’m starting to wonder that the Pete types are as bad as the McCarthy types.
Should we or shouldn’t we be for Hensarling alone or no one? If Hensarlng won’t run, then let the wolf be known in the form of McCarthy. A dilemma.
