Hispanic Republicans are scared of Dan Patrick
I was at a meet and greet for Leticia van de Putte this weekend where she stopped on her bus tour. We had over 100 people at this event and there were some people who I did not know. It turns out that they were three of the top members of the Hispanic Business Division of the Chamber of Commerce in my county who had been talking to one of our Democratic county commissioners. These Hispanic republicans are convinced that Dan Patrick will be the GOP nominee for Lt. Governor and that Patrick is a racist. The county commissioner had attended a meeting of the chamber of commerce and these leaders told him about their fears concerning Dan Patrick. When this meeting opportunity came up, the commissioner invited these Hispanic republicans to our county headquarters and they got to meet Leticia.
Dan Patrick is crazy and is indeed a racist. The fact that members of the Hispanic Business Division of my county's chamber of commerce are worried about Patrick is a good sign.
If Dan Patrick is the GOP nominee for Lt. Governor, then I think that Leticia may have a better chance of winning compared to Wendy Davis.
