Just when you thought David Dewhurst couldn't get any nastier.

[Paine in the Neck]

Dewhurst is the bottom of the barrel. I’ve never seen anyone run an uglier campaign.

[Common Sense 101]

Dewhurst is as good as gone...

I don’t know why the media is acting appalled. They do the same thing to all republicans whenever they can.

[hadaclueonce]

Dewhurst did the same thing when running against Cruz.

Texas wants him retired.

[TexasCajun]

Just call him “Dirty” Dewhurst!

[JRandomFreeper]

That's because Dewhurst is a low down hog thief.

I wish I could go out and vote for Dan Patrick but I am in the dying state of PA-we had 36 congressional districts in 1910 but not that distinction belongs to the folks in TX.

[bestintxas]

Patrick will win this one.

Dewhurst is just another Establishment GOP which epitomizes what is the problem with that party.

Will not vote GOP ticket. Will vote the conservative ticket.

No Cornyn either

[Impy]

There’s at least one Dewhurst booster on this site, spreading slanderous accusations against Patrick and calling him “crazy” without explaining why.

Has this been forgotten ?

After a relative was arrested for allegedly shoplifting at a grocery store, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst personally called the Allen Police Department to ask how to get her out of jail, referring to himself as the "No. 1 pick of all the law enforcement agencies within Texas."

In an Aug. 3 recording originally released by police to the Dallas-Fort Worth NBC affiliate, NBC-DFW, Dewhurst identifies himself as the lieutenant governor and requests to speak to the police station's "most senior police officer you have there right now." He tells a police sergeant that his step-sister's daughter-in-law, Ellen Bevers, is a schoolteacher and "the sweetest woman in the world," and says he's sure she has been incarcerated on a "mistaken charge."

"If you would explain to me sergeant what I need to do to arrange for getting her out of jail this evening so that you can proceed with whatever you think … that is proper," Dewhurst says. "I’ve known this lady for 30 years of my life."

After Dewhurst says that he is going to have Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw call to confirm his identity, he goes on to explain that he is a supporter of law enforcement in the state.

"Sergeant, you don’t know me," he says. "I am every year the No. 1 pick of all of the law enforcement agencies within Texas, the No. 1 pick. I’m a supporter of you, and everyone in law enforcement. I want you to do whatever is the proper thing."
