“How can Bill Flores prove to you he is a conservative?” my wife asks. “I mean, what actions can he take or words can he say that will change your mind?” Am I hearing these questions from the lady who up until 2 years ago pretty much voted the party line without question? “Well, he could…he could…what about…”. Suddenly I [...]
