Slaton, Paxton, And The Republican Civil War

Money, Power, and Ideology: Understanding the Texas GOP's clash of factions.

https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/slaton-paxton-and-the-republican



Over the last several days, as the political heads and national news discuss Paxton’s impeachment, there are questions (mostly from Democrats) that keep popping up.

Why now?

Did Republicans suddenly get a conscience?

Did the GOP now find out about Paxton’s crimes?

None of that. It’s all about the Republican Civil War currently happening in Texas.

Back to the good old sane days of Ann Richards. I met her the first time I ever went to Texas she was such a awesome woman.
