“If Phelan stumbles, centrist conservatives could find themselves with a shrinking role in the GOP and on the losing end in the fight over control of the Republican Party.” It sounds like everyone needs to help his opponent.

‘Centrist conservatives’, aka RINOs.The Hispanic voters in Texas are becoming more conservative as they also see first hand what an uncontrolled border does to property values, taxes, and the job market for factory-class families. A realignment, similar to the massive realignment of Southerners from yellow dog Democrat to solid Republican, as more individuals of all groups see that their freedom, health, and financial present and futures are threatened by the adult children that form the attack wing of the Democrat Party.

This is the guy who attempted to knee-cap Ken Paxton. He needs to take the L in a big, big way. He’s nothing but an assistant Democrat.

If we ever want to have election integrity in Texas and eliminate RINOs running interference for Texas DemocRATS then powerful Uber-RINO Dade Phelan needs to be defeated by David Covey in the May 28th primary runoff election.

Dade Phelan conspired with all House Democrats and a few of his RINO buddies to make him Speaker of the House. He then appointed Democratic politicians to most important committee chairmanships and bottled up legislation featured in the Republican Party platform.
He is a corrupt politician who has formed a cabal with the opposition party to defeat his own party.

Similar to Greenwich, CT or Beverly Hills, home of limousine liberals, Highland Park is a hotbed of country club Republicans, in other words, RINOs. It is an enclave of old money native Texans, often one to three generations removed from the man who generated the income.
To: cotton1706
Hopefully Phelan’s attempted impeachment of AG Paxton will be the death of his career, and the end of the Bush era in Texas. The entire hit by the Bush wing was a travesty. And that’s in addition to Phelan’s “Austin values” that have no place in a conservative party.

“Dade Phelan conspired with all House Democrats and a few of his RINO buddies to make him Speaker of the House.”
And people still continue believe that the worst RINO is better than the best Democrat. They’re oblivious to the amount of damage a RINO can do.

centrist conservatives = Democrats in disguise
