"A Republican controlled ethics committee has had to rebuke him multipe times. He is a dog turd and the best defense he'll be able to mount is "Okay, It's true, I'm a dog turd, but the almost certainly illegal things I've done can't be proven in a court of law.""

And these things don't come as a surprise to Republicans, especially in Texas. He is an excellent fundraiser, which is why he's the most popular guy in the room. But secretly, most people hold a grudge against that guy, too.

Even as a bug zapper, he got into troubles with the IRS for funky dealings. One Texas GOP quote I saw on the guy was "I would still vote for him, I just wouldn't lend him my money."

This guy is a maverick in the truest sense of the word. He has a pattern of showing little regard for what he considers to be annoying, perfunctory stuff that gets in the way of business.
