Sorry, I like King well enough but I think you are dreaming if you think a traditional Republican like King has a prayer of winning a mayoral race in Houston right now, whether or not Buzbee was running and regardless of how much money is spent helping him.

We’ll be lucky enough if we can even win a County-wide race again in the near future. I know a lot of former Republican Harris County district court judges and candidates, and only one has expressed any interest in running next year.

I’m surprised that anyone with talent who’s not independently wealthy (like Buzbee today) even runs for office. As a job, it’s very unstable and being defeated after holding office for any period of time means picking up the remains of your non-political career even while others on your career track have moved forward.

This IMHO is the biggest threat to our country.

Good people just don’t want to get involved, be it with the local school board, local government, State government, and ultimately the Federal Government.

The Left is more than happy to fill that void.
