If you come to Texas, you want what Texas is all about. Think how easy it would be for someone like you, an entrepreneur and seasoned business guy, to assimilate in Texas.

Hell, you’d have boots and a cowboy hat within a week.

We are getting what I would call the mobile class — bit of real estate equity to grease the move, entrepreneurs, upper management. Folks who are shorting California — which is a beautiful state and a hard place to leave.

Funny phenomenon is the Google’s, et al, putting big operations in Texas — Austin in particular.

Nobody is going to change Texas other than the continuing evolution of the basic demographic — becoming more Hispanic. Which is not bad. Hispanic culture is religious, family, hard working, entrepreneurial, education centric, etc.

Republicans/conservatives need to figure out how to mine what is already there.

They are a natural Republican vein of support — which is why “self-deportation” is so incredibly stupid.

Tax and regulatory environment is terribly oppressive. Ask Phil Mickelson.
