- Most Texas House Republicans are staying quiet while Dennis Bonnen faces a growing scandal
- What Dennis Bonnen could learn from Donald Trump about listening to voters – Arlinghaus demonstrates all that is wrong – hate the conservative activists who engage for Republican principles, demean them, lie about them being “rabid” and “troublemakers” and “foolish bomb-throwers.” As with almost every big issue that has happened over the years, this was 100% created by the power-insiders Arlinghaus is part of. With these types it’s never the fully fault of the insider-crowd when they abandon voters – conservatives who dare notice and say something are always given a large share of the blame.
