Angie Button's office finally answered the phones. I've called both her district and Austin offices 100 times since December 7th and never once had a phone call returned or anyone pick up the phone.
Yah this seems to be the biggest fallout at this point.one MEEN Ag said:
This is most likely going to cause school choice to be punted again. Democrats and rural republicans have a natural coalition against affluent suburbanites fed up with bad schools.
Wish that Abbott would focus on solving real problems like Robin Hood instead of something that half of the State is not interested in.

Cya later school choice
Have the committees been decided/announced?
There was a rumor a while back that Burrows refused to promise democrat committee chairs. That he only agreed to kill vouchers. I wonder if that is ends up being true or not.

Hey Frisco Ags. Your boy voted with the Democrats.
Jared Patterson is one of the most hard right Republicans in the TX House. His voting record in the 88th placed him 15 of 150 on the most conservative chart.
He's also the top LT for the current regime and would've lost a large swathe of legislative power with Cook as the Speaker. He's arguably second or third most influential member in the House with Burrows as Speaker

So, preserving his career and status over his constituents and party's desired agenda. Got it.
He still sided with a majority of Democrats. I don't GAF about his "power". It's exactly why we get stuck with the likes of Cornyn for DECADES.

This just proves Texas is a purple state.
Don't care. The folks dictating legislation and running to the Democrats to undermine their own party says differently.
If we were a red state, we wouldn't have to make deals with Democrats. Democrats clearly have a lot of leverage so....purple.

Patterson is one of the primary leaders in passing the GOP agenda and serving his conservative constituents.
Maybe things aren't as simple in the House as just electing Cook.
^ we've heard that all before.
Well the Conservatives ousted 17 of the RINOs last round, looks like we have quiet a bit to go.
When are the next elections held? Sorry I do not follow local politics as closely as I should

Covidians, Communists, CNN, FOX, and all other MSM are enemies of the state and should be treated as such.
It's because most people do not pay attention like the people do on the site. We're in the 2-3% of constituents that pay attention intently to know what's going on. 90% of republicans check the R box and live their daily lives without worrying about anything political. This is all about personal greed for money and power - a tale as old as time. Politicians are grifting and getting away with it because they do just enough and the populous does't care enough to educate itself to vote people out. Why do you think Soros has been able to buy DA seats? Because it's cheap. The amount of money used to run for state rep is nothing in comparison.YouBet said:TAMU1990 said:14% win for Trump and double digit wins for Abbott, Cornyn, and other state wide officials is not a purple state.YouBet said:American Hardwood said:

Friends you just can’t make this stuff up. The Texas House Democrat Caucus staffers just made things astronomically worse for Dustin Burrows by claiming that a Burrows win was a WIN for DEMOCRATS!!! At least those staffers are honest! https://t.co/iLDyYGVbZC

How was this a surprise.
It's easier to win over the entire entirety of the Democrats and a few Republicans than to try and build a coalition with Republicans
This happens every single time. It's a flaw and how we choose the leader.

Nothing like an endorsement from one of the most arrogant, obnoxious and abrasive reps around. I didn't even know he was the D caucus chair now, but that makes perfect sense.
The whole thing is disgusting.
I strongly disagree with him on this. I put this on some other thread though within the past few weeks that when I emailed him about this vote he responded within around 20 minutes personally explaining his position (which, again, I think is indefensible). At least he responded though.Bird Poo said:

I think this is just politics at its most ugly. It's disappointing to me but I again do appreciate that he responded quickly and hope he changes his ways. Agree with others to the extent they are indicating he is going with what gives him political power/leverage first.
My representative who represents Fayette County, Stan Kitzman '88 and former BQ, voted for Burrows. Too bad!!

And he's now a Democrat.
No, I meant why is the Texas GOP so full of them? I know what it means.Tea Party said:Is this a serious question?annie88 said:

What is that?
Republican
In

Only.
Politicians with an R beside their name that vote for a Speaker that actively encourages Democrats getting leadership positions that can kill conservative agendas is pretty close to the definition of having the name/title of Republican but not being one when it counts.
Why are there so many here in our state?
And ironically, Burrows was one of the drafters of a Republican rule designed to fix this flaw. Simply, that Republicans would stand by the decisions made by the Republican caucus.CrackerJackAg said:

Then, Burrows is first in line to flaunt the rule HE helped write, and in so, demonstrates that the only thing keeping us from moving on from this flawed method is the lack of integrity of Republicans who will not keep their word.
If you don't intend to stand by your own rules, don't go into caucus. PERIOD.
They are democrats. They just run as republicans because they know they would never win as democrats. In other states, they would just be honest and proudly run as democrats.annie88 said:No, I meant why is the Texas GOP so full of them?

Weird that he voted to block conservatives from running the House. Again.
But at least the democrats will like him.

He thinks you are a fool. All of them do.
I sure can't defend his vote. Nor will I vote for him in the next primary.
It will be tough to beat him though, unfortunately. The one upside is I think he's managed to eliminate himself from statewide office as a Republican moving forward.

Why are there so many? I'll tell you why. PEOPLE DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO WHO THEY ARE VOTING FOR! That's why!!!! They're either listening to the Enemedia, or they are thinking they'll keep a "balance" of power by voting for a "Moderate".

Bottom line, the Demonrats keep getting what they want, and Conservatives get NOTHING! And here we are, yet again!!!! Ad nauseum. John Cornyn is a prime example, except that slime is at the national level!
He was supported unanimously by the democrats. What kind of side deals do you think he had to make with them to get their unanimous support?J. Walter Weatherman said:1836er said:This question misses the point. What this was about, and what makes him a RINO, is letting the Democrats in the state legislature, rather than the Republicans, choose the speaker.J. Walter Weatherman said:
Are there specific policy positions that make him a RINO?
I understand your point, but I care a lot more if he's voting against conservative policies or taking positions against actual legislative conservative goals. Are there any of those someone can point to?
I find it so amusing that the Democrats get so butt hurt over billionaire donors when they have so many of them themselves. They are just such vile dumb ass people and your average liberal Democrat voter believes this *****

I think it was on Tucker
He explains all of it there
Edit:
The RINO’s in the Texas House are still at it. Trying to lie their way out of what they did to overturn the will of the voters. This was the first interview where I was able to fully tell the truth from my perspective. I will continue to expose the lies. Texans, you are my… https://t.co/gGqAWlXrAG
