Allen West? Is it the Allen West from Florida? Or the Allen West from Texas?

Yes, one and the same, Lt. Col (ret) Allen West who was gerrymandered out of his Florida House seat who has moved to Texas where he served as Chairman of the Texas GOP for a time. He mounted a half-hearted campaign for governor which I thought at the time was more of an attempt to raise his profile and name-awareness among Texas voters as no one was going to unseat Abbott. He is my choice to replace John Cornyn in the Senate in 2 years. People in these parts are touting Attorney General Ken Paxton to take on Cornyn or succeed Cornyn if he decides not to seek reelection but he has more than his share of legal and political baggage. Allen West is a true Conservative and would be great in any political or cabinet position.

Now replacing Cornyn with West is an idea I can get behind. But it just seemed to me that the idea of his coming from Florida into Texas was a little too much like carpet bagging
