#3 Is he part of the GOPe?

I've looked that GOPe up and all the discussion assumes you know what it means. I've never heard it before. Congressman Hensarling is my representative and I've always found him to be a straight shooter. Please explain what you mean by GOPe.

#4 GOP(establishment) I'd say Hensarling is not GOPe, but he may be fed up with the prospects for overcoming GOPe.

#5 I read a different article on this and it is very ambiguous as to his GOPe status (thanks MM for including the definition).

He sounds like a Tea Partier but has very bad grades from conservative groups. My guess is that he's an ineffective dweeb with a conservative philosophy who gets whipsawed by the establishment environment.
