AUSTIN — Would Bill Clements be considered a Republican today?
Clements, who turned 94 this month, was the first Texas Republican governor in a century when he was elected in 1978. He was tough-minded and conservative, and his election marked the beginning of the spectacular rise of the modern Republican Party in Texas.
But it’s hard to see him passing muster with today’s tea party.
