Dewhurst says Davis will fail if she seeks statewide office

FORT WORTH — Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst hopes that Texans will finally stop talking about state Sen. Wendy Davis by the end of next year.

Speaking Tuesday night to Republicans gathered in Davis’ hometown, Dewhurst said he doesn’t believe that Davis — the Democrat who led a more than 10-hour filibuster to temporarily kill a comprehensive abortion bill — will succeed if she runs for higher office.

“It’s my hope, my friends, that about a year from now that people are saying, ‘Why were we talking about Wendy Davis?’” he told more than three dozen people gathered for a meeting of the Tarrant County Republican National Hispanic Assembly at Ol’ South Pancake House in Fort Worth.

“I know Wendy Davis,” he said. “And I don’t think she stands a chance running for statewide office.”
