OP
He is the absolute opposite of Abbott, smart, compassionate, hard working - and he works for the people

He did run for president, but right now he's dedicated to helping the people of Texas

I'm sure that he would have been a terrific senator, too - certainly better that Cruz!

(59,924 posts)3. Yes, he is!
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.
