Texas: Twelve Reasons You Should Not Vote for Dan Patrick for Lt. Governor

February 21, 2018 11:00 am

 

The Texas PTA invited Lt. Governor Dan Patrick to answer twelve questions about education in Texas.

Please read his responses. 

His answers exemplify his contempt for students, teachers, parents, and public schools.

He cares about only one thing: destroying public schools.

Vote him OUT!

    1. I figured the responses were a joke. . .

      1. I am hoping the final joke is on him when he is sitting on his couch at home after being voted out during this primary

      3. No worry. Trump already bankrupted the country.

        Beto might raise taxes on the 1%.

        Cruz is their lapdog

        Would you vote for a man (Cruz) whose father asasinated JFK? Trump said so.

  2. Patrick sounds more like he is pleading the fifth than campaigning. What an arrogant zealot! Texas voters must reject Patrick as he represents all the lobbies that result in regressive policies. Texas needs to look to the future and support government of, by and for the people.

    1. Arrogance was the first word I thought of as well. Talk about no accountability.

  3. Astounding. I never thought I would say the following about anyone, ever, but even Betsy DeVos answers questions about education better than this chump. Wow. He’s really running for office?
