I'm sure that he would have been a terrific senator, too - certainly better that Cruz! Rhiannon12866 Jun 2022 #6

And he has the all-important "it" factor!

I expect he will be president qt some future time.

He also ran for senator, came amazingly close to deplorable Ted Cruz, but he obviously thinks he can do the most good for the people of Texas as governor - and I sure hope that the people agree!

But the people desperately need him as governor, he's with the people and they need him now in Texas.
