Pro-TEXIT candidates win Texas GOP's top two leadership spots at San Antonio convention

Republican activists who signed a pledge saying they want Texas to secede from the U.S. now control the state party's top two elected positions. At its convention in San Antonio last Friday, the Texas GOP elected Abraham George and D'rinda Randell as the party's respective chair and vice. George will replace outgoing party Chairman Matt Rinaldi, whose two-year tenure saw a collapse in fundraising and staffing for the party as he edged it further and further right.
