We need closed Primaries in order to be able to actually get real Conservatives elected NOT the fake posturers like this Patterson dude appears to be as well as a great many others in our Republican led Legislature. FAKE REPUBLICANS.

He claims to not know any race where DemocRATS vote significantly for the fake Republican (aka ex DemocRAT) in order to keep the RINOS in place??? He is either clueless or complicit in the deception. Does anyone recall that not too long before he ran for Governor, Rick Perry was the Texas Campaign Manager for Al Gore???

I have seen, as an election judgea voter come in and tell the DemocRAT alternate judge that she didn't want to vote for that candidate( the alleged Republican) and the judge walking her off to the side while she convinced her(the reluctant voter) that they needed her to do so for the Party. Since Texas is such a red state, the only way for ANY DemocRAT to gain power is to run as a Republican(unless they live in Northern Mexico or South Texas) and a Conservative Republican, at that. They always seem to lay claim to being a Conservative. Why is that?

Then they get elected by voters and begin the betrayal process because they can't really run too far from their leftist inclinations/ideology (aka DemocRAT roots). I remember hearing rumors of the womanizer, Capriglione, having been a Pelosi DemocRAT when he lived in California prior to moving to Texas. He ran against Vicki Truitt who was a DemocRAT before deciding to run in the most conservative part of Tarrant County as (you guessed it) a Republican. There have been many examples over the years. Does a DemocRAT who switches parties also switch ideology or turn off their left leaning viewpoints? Not likely which is why we get RINOS.

Mr Patterson, it appears, is being disingenuous.

disingenuous/dĭs″ĭn-jĕn′yoo͞-əs/adjective

Not straightforward or candid; insincere or calculating.

Pretending to be unaware or unsophisticated; faux-naïf.

(Usage Problem) Unaware or uninformed; naive.

One thing the Republican Party does not do well is vet their candidates thoroughly or they choose to ignore the candidates major flaws until they are exposed. What all this tells me is that there are an awful lot of hypocrite Republicans who talk the talk but rarely stand on principle much less character.

Censure away patriots! They deserve every criticism and should be voted out of office and would be if we had a closed Primary in Texas. Anyway, just my 2 cents worth.

Yep. This is just the treacherous bloviating of the entrenched GOPe Never Trump losers vs the fired-up MAGA patriots . The MAGA folks still have a lot to learn and one of the important lessons should be to never trust the TFRW or their enabling minions. Second lesson is 'fight, fight, fight' and never give an inch, 3rd lesson is to post on Trump's Truth Social page to quit endorsing the Texas RINOS who are also Never Trumpers. Whoever he is listening to on Texas politics is deceiving him.
