Have there been any Republican Texans other than the Bushes?

Never per state of residence, but Fremont was a native of Georgia. And if we take a liberal interpretation of the upper Soith, Lincolm (Kentucky) would somewhat qualify.

I wasn't aware LBJ was a Republican.

I think he meant anyone and not a Republican in particular as the thread title.

My post was meant to imply Republican based on the thread title. I have edited that post to make it clearer.

Going forward, there are quite a number of potential options: Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Bill Haslam, etc.

We decided a long time ago that the answer is only if you count Agnew as a southerner.

I mean technically Trump hasn't announced Pence, so we COULD end up with Gingrich (GA)

Better question: Will the Dems ever nominate someone from the West of the Mississippi ever again?

The Dems have never nominated a President or VP from a state west of the Texas-North Dakota stack. The GOP has had quite a few, and the Southern Democrats even had an Oregonian VP in 1860, but never the Dems.

Uh, Arkansas is West of the Mississippi, so Bill Clinton is the answer.

If you count Maryland as being in the South, 1968 and 1972, Spiro Agnew was that state's governor. Lincoln was born in Kentucky.
