There is something in his D.N.A. Yes, it is in the blood of the man.
How do I know? I read history. Let me share some with you.
“John Tower was at our house for dinner. He called and asked for a meeting. He wanted a meeting of four or five of us. He wanted to talk about his future.
“First thing I did was have an event for him at our house. I started with the hard people first. I invited the conservative Democrats - the Louis Stumbergs and the Woodward Altgelts - the people that wouldn’t come to Tower because he’s the father of the Republican Party of Texas.
“We had 12 or 18 conservative Democrat leaders in our living room. I left the room and I let the men - it was all men there, good old boys - sit and talk about how he envisioned his upcoming campaign.”
-Joci Straus, mother of State Rep. Joe Straus.
