4. We need someone for governor. I don't know why James didn't want to run for governor.

He would have been great and he knows how to hit the points against Abbott.
He doesn't talk about federal issues.

I know a bunch of facebook people were trying to get him to run for senate...oh well...He'll go against Colin Allred and possibly Jasmine Crockett in the primary.

Some weird cowboy dude that nobody has ever heard of is running for governor.

Why do Texas dems do this?

They "overshoot" when they run....

I absolutely love the guy, but he's state politics and state office all the way.
