It’s going to take a crowbar and a prayer to separate Straus from the speakership, but State Rep. Scott Turner is the man to do it. He may be able to get enough votes if he works the floor in the right manner.
But he has to convince the Straus supporters the speakership is going to change anyway as more conservatives are elected, and maybe now is a good time for some to make that switch if they want to keep their select committee appointments or receive new ones. And some are beginning to listen to the conservative voters in their districts.
Meanwhile down at the grass roots, we will keep working to elect the most conservative candidates and send them to Austin.
That's what has to happen. Thank you for your service, by not voting for liberal republicans to send to Austin. We've got enough down there.
