I’m glad Do-worst is gone, but I’m not a fan of Patrick

Yeah, that's about where I'm at too. I believe Patrick will sell us out eventually. I just hope it's later rather than sooner. In any case, Dewhurst had to go. Patrick will have to walk the walk at least for a while. That's an improvement. We've GOT to get diminish Straus's influence.

If Patrick gets rid of the Dems in chairman positions in the Senate, he will have done more to move forward conservative legislation than any Texas politician in my memory.

It's telling that Dewhurst shared power by giving the Dems those chairmanships in the first place.

Committees are great places to kill legislation.
