This should be an easy thing to hang on these Republicans next election

We thought so last time. But it keeps happening.

Well, this vote proves the Burrows bunch are liars. There is no double-talking out of that.

Brad Buckley is a liar.

I will proudly support his republican opponent next time. Brad has overstayed his welcome.

---

Buckley said he supports vouchers

Said it would pass 2024

Then he votes for Burrows

Could we get a list of the RINOs who we can now consider Democrats?

Oh yes, the ol' "if you don't support my way 100% of the time, you're an antifa leftist scum" argument. That'll play well.

Great start to the 89th Legislative Session! I hope Abbott/Patrick learned a lesson…but I doubt it.

---

What a BS position you are taking here. Burrows and the "Republicans" who voted for him agreed going into caucus that they would stand by the decision of the caucus.

Abbott nor Patrick had anything to do with anyone of them going back on their word - and the Rules Burrows helped write - when it became apparent they weren't going to get their way.

They all SHAT on every Republican in this state who relies on the party to govern. And you're doing it too.

THAT's the lesson that is to be learned here. And come next cycle, the lesson will be driven home.

And Drew Darby, I will happily and vocally support your opponent in the next primary.

We aren't talking about people who vote with the party the majority of the time but move on an issue or two. We're talking about people who are voting for the Dems' choice for speaker and placing Dems in charge of committees. I don't care what the ballot says, these people are democrats and doing the democrats' bidding.

First, you're lying. Nobody said that

Anyway, vouchers is probably going to pass

Buckley and Burrows both support them

Enjoy today. It won't last

What do you not understand? Republican voters are sick of RINO's that play nice with the democrats and give them power in our majority red state. Only a liberal would be against republican voters voting in a more conservative representative in the primaries.

It's a shame Dustin Burrows has flipped to the Democrat Party, thus nullifying the votes of the fine people of Lubbock. I guess he can get Kamala to come in and campaign for him in 2026 - she'll have free time.

I didn't think there were that many Democrats in Lubbock, so it's a strange political move. But at least we now see him for what he is - a liberal Democrat.

Keep lying about this. We see now why you voted for Kamala.

They won't. I heard the chair of the state party interviewed on talk radio. He was definitely crawfishing from that decision and topic.

Don't be silly. Democrats will never support vouchers.

Well, he said they would find the best person to be the next speaker, but he voted for the democrats' choice, so that was a lie.

Did he commit to vote for the candidate that most republicans supported?

He committed to support school vouchers, but this vote will prevent that (as he knows), so he lied there, too. Just despicable behavior.

Burrows sided with these guys instead of his own party.

He's far from liberal. He has a track record to show for it. I think the Lubbock people will want to keep the influence in Austin by having one of theirs as speaker. That will provide some balance. I'm guessing of course.

He's flaming.

Useless RINO's. They are just as repulsive as democrats. If Burrows wins, I guess we won't be getting any conservative legislation through.

---

Like I said, FAFO. That with you get when you primary your "allies" over a single issue.

---

Well, now there are TWO issues to primary so called "allies" over.

And for the record, I am still on the fence on the voucher issue, depending upon how the funding works out.

But all the voucher games pale to turning your back on your own caucus and running to Democrats when you don't - what did you say? - get your way 100% of the time.

Abbott primarying Darby wasn't enough to get me to support Darby's opponent. But now, Darby's own actions are more than enough. He's permanently lost a 27 year supporter.

I think vouchers will pass. The devil will be in the details and Abbott will keep them there all summer until he gets a vote

Yeah, Chet Edwards used to always point to his "conservative" votes, too. They're playing a game, but in the end, they gave democrats power the democrats did not earn in the voting booth.

Burrows's district is only the southern end of Lubbock. Most of his district is all the rural areas south and east of Lubbock. Most of Lubbock is district 84, where Carl Tepper is the representative. I believe Carl Tepper supported Burrows in his bid.

This works for a little while. But like it did with Chet Edwards and John Testor, your lies eventually catch up with you.

Captain Pablo said:

Burrows' received the following votes

REP - 36
DEM - 49

Basically the Speaker of the Texas House was selected by democrats

This is infuriating. Heads need to roll in 2026.

A good old-fashioned TexAgs meltdown, not the Zoo but entertaining regardless.
