In Texas, we have 36 reps. 24 so-called republicans and 12 RATS.

Of the 24 so-called pubbies, I want to believe that there are, maybe, 10 real Cruz-type supporters of change.

That means in Texas, which is probably more anti-GOPe than any other state, we bring 11 out 38 (just under 30%) DC types to the Freedom Party movement.

Getting the rest of the country to that level would be tough, if not impossible.

The seemingly impossible is such until it happens.

I believe the Freedom Party would definite stir to action many tens of millions who have tuned out politics -- knowing both parties screw them.

A new second party is inevitable.
