Patrick continues political evolution (the series)
The Chronicle's Kristen Mack has documented another instance in which local talker Dan Patrick continues his transition from "insurgent" to typical politician:
Early in the campaign, Patrick called for a $1,000 limit on campaign donations. Now he says a $5,000 limit would be more reasonable.People who are carefully watching to see if Patrick the candidate is different from Patrick the politician — the Houston Chronicle included — are only trying to play a game of gotcha, Patrick said.
"People in the party are waiting for me to make a mistake because they are angry," he said.
It probably only feeds the radio talker's ego to continue to point out instances of his changing his mind on issues. But the entertainment value of his playing the "I'm a victim of angry Republicans!" card almost certainly makes it worth it.
