“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.

“establishment Republicans and conservatives who see value in saving Phelan’s career.“

Conservatives? BS , this prick is nothing but a rat tool.

‘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.

“powerful Republican donors gathered at the home of billionaire Kelcy Warren to help save the political career of House Speaker Dade Phelan.”

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.

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.

So is what they are saying is that a drunk trans-Republican stumbled? I certainly am pulling for a change in leadership. No more trans-Republicans stopping Texas as speaker of the house.

If Phelan stumbles, centrist conservatives could find themselves with a shrinking role in the GOP

These commie RINO pizzants are neither centrist nor conservative.

They are simply communist Democrats masquerading as Republicans.

No conservative is supporting Phelan. Just the New World Order BUshites and their Democrat allies.

Phailin is a complete and total phailure.
