HOUSTON — U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw wants a new Reagan revolution — a return to the 1980s-era Republican Party pillars of small government, low taxes and less welfare that he says have been crowded out by infighting in recent years.
The yearning for an earlier era was made clear by the Delorean that was parked next to the stage of the third annual Crenshaw Youth Summit at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Houston this weekend, at which Crenshaw called on a few hundred young conservatives to cease toxic party squabbles and unite to preserve the vision outlined by Reagan decades ago.
