Republicans that didn't vote for his voucher plan and also AG Paxton vowed to go after Republicans that tried to impeach him. So like everywhere else the GOP extremists are going after anyone that disagrees with them.

While this is not unusual for one party to attack members of the other party - the GOP party infighting is rather rare.

These folks.....The GOP.... are some nasty bastards by any measure and obviously the voters support the extremists...at least here in Texas.

We have not had a Democrat elected for a Statewide election in over 30 years - which is a record of the US. Hopefully this will be the year....☮
