I have to thank you for a lesson. I did go back to 2016 and search for my posts on Pence. I was not as prescient as I thought. I was actually complementary. My later visceral dislike colored my recollections. I appreciate the chance for some humility : )
I still think Greg Abbott would be the perfect addition to the ticket. He's the actual Border Czar today, why not promote him to the Executive Mansion?
As an added bonus, his LT Governor Dan Patrick is far more conservative than Abbott.
