I love my president BUT he is a New Yorker.... Only native born Texans have held the office since Gov Hogg (1890s) until today save for GW Bush but he had long roots here in the state, especially with the oil industry. Actually him being born in Conneticuit was a campaign issue, especially in the primaries. Trump is big and bombastic and we like that but the lack of an accent and Texas swagger would hurt his chances. Plus we like people who make up words like Bush did. Oddly enough that is a Texas trait as long as it is witty or funny. It takes decades of exposure and practice to do it correctly.
Not pretending anything. President is one thing, Gov is a different animal altogether. Besides it is mostly a ceremonial post, the Lt Gov has the actual power in the state.

Dude, are you pretending like Trump wouldn't win the TX governorship by a landslide?

That is incorrect.
