On Friday, he issued an emphatic warning to fellow Republicans: To survive and avert Democratic takeovers in Austin and Washington, they must act expeditiously on measures ...

What is a conservative called that looks left for approval? The same as a guy that looks away while another services his spouse.

Patrick has never been what you'd call a bedrock of principles.

He can make noise now to claim "Republicans are doing something!", but the truth is that no law in Texas will change until 2021 at the earliest. That's the next time the legislature meets.

KJV Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
