Robert Morrow – Travis County GOP Chairman

Excerpted from this longer video, which was posted on 5 March 2016. Ted Cruz’s little problem surfaced on 24 March 2016.

So who is Robert Morrow?

Raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Morrow says he had a peaceful childhood. His middle-class family ascended to the upper class as his father, a real estate developer, gained success. A high school basketball star, he declined athletic scholarships at various colleges for a chance to attend Princeton University, where he majored in history in 1987. At the time he considered himself a liberal and caught the political bug when he helped his mother win a seat on the Alabama State Democratic Executive Committee (a post his grandfather had previously held). Morrow received an M.B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin in 1990, taking time off to campaign for presidential Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis in 1988. After a four-year stint working back home at the family business, Morrow returned to Austin, dabbling in day trading and real estate before settling on being a self-employed investor. Declining to expound on what that job entails, Morrow leaves it at having “assets and income.” (“I’m not coy, I’m just not commenting on personal finances. People have their reasons,” he says guardedly.)

While he voted for George W. Bush, both when Bush was running for governor of Texas and for president (a decision Morrow now emphatically regrets), he says he’s a “small-L” Libertarian at his core, who supports Ron Paul and Gary Johnson.

I might add that he is known for his sexually explicit Tweets. Some of which are repeated at the link.
