“We have to wonder how the Speaker of the Texas House get re-elected to the Speaker post.”
Here in Texas it’s the same system as the US House Speaker - meaning that ALL representatives get to vote on the Speaker, not just the majority party. So, for the past 3 decades or so, the Speaker has ALWAYS had full support of the Democrats and just needed a handful of Republicans to then take the post. In essence, the DEMOCRATS, despite being in the minority, controlled who was Speaker of the Texas House.
The Texas House RINO’s were hoping to appoint George P Bush as AG. They have had their panties in a wad since he lost to Paxton.
The Bushes are dead in Texas.
Phelan is the leader of the Texas Squad. Don’t know if his seat is safe in Galveston.
