Two Republican foes of Dan Patrick support Democrat Mike Collier for lieutenant governor

Both Republicans have been at odds with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and neither of them are running for reelection

Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley, one of Texas’ most prominent Republican local leaders, is backing Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s Democratic challenger.

“The one person who I’ll support statewide that will get me a little in trouble: Mike Collier for lieutenant governor,” Whitley said on Y’all-itics, a WFAA politics podcast.

Whitley and Patrick have frequently clashed, and on the podcast Whitley slammed Patrick for waging “war on local elected officials.”

Just days after Whitley made the endorsement that crossed party lines, an outgoing Republican state senator from Amarillo has followed suit. Kel Seliger told The Texas Tribune he plans to vote for Collier in November. Seliger is one of the most senior Republicans in the upper chamber but has also famously been at odds with Patrick. Neither Whitley nor Seliger are running for reelection

Whitely violated his own covid recommendations for Thanksgiving 2020, he had at least 20 people over to his house.

I guess these RINO's are looking for some favors from the swamp.

And that is one reason why Demorats win more often than Republicans. Voter fraud in its many forms is of course anther reason.

And dunderheads on this site and others think that RINOs are just “moderate” Republicans. They’re not. They’re Democrats who pose as Republicans in order to get elected. They’re poseurs. They need to be voted out of office. Even if that means defeating them in the general.

Any republican who backs a democrat over a fellow republican is a RINO backstabbing POS! One thing that is certain, any republican is better than any democrat. Anyone who pretends to be republican and does not agree should be kicked out of the party!

They ignore any Democrats who favor the GOP. Then they attack them.

What the heck, these RINOs have nothing to lose. Look at the example of Charley Crist over here in Florida, a one-time Republican governor, then independent, then Democrat while he served in the House of Representatives, and now running against Ron DeSantis for governor again.

Don Quixote tilting his lance towards windmills.

Yes. But then we’ll have 30 percent of the seats. Can’t do much good there. Democrats at least work with each other. Manchin is a pain in the butt to the democratic party. But they let him get his way and everybody goes around that and votes. Republicans well not waver a single bit and gets absolutely nothing done.

Quite an over-reaction to two nobodies in the state supporting a candidate that lost to Patrick in 2018...which was a heavily Democratic year! I live in TX and can tell you the tribune had to work to find these two l!
