Video: Lt. Gov. Candidates Patrick, Van de Putte Debate

[@jasonr8384]

Dan Patrick is bad for women's right to choose what is right for her own body, he is bad for the LGBT community's right to equality, he wants to raise Texas' sales tax, and he wants to restrict local communities from managing their own property taxes which fund their own local projects. Leticia Van de Putte is the clear candidate for Lieutenant Governor - a position which leads Texas' senate and has essential controls over the State's budget - as she takes the opposite view (and correct view) on each of these issues. It's time we flip this state blue to represent the changing views of Texans. This is an important election. Are you registered to vote? If not, click here: votetexas.gov/register-to-vote/

God created adam and eve, not adam and steve !

[@jasonr8384]

leandean100 Yes, and the earth was created 6000 years ago. It's unfortunate that your god plays into this election.

[@ryangoss5064]

leandean100 Really? I thought your God allegedly created Adam, Steve, Bobby, Chris, Tom, as well as the rest of us queers.

Dan patrick is right on immigration - we need to protect the border, dan patrick is right on education - were smarter we can do it, dan patrick is right on taxes - lower property taxes so revenue for citizens have more, dan patrick is right on marriage - the people choose a constitutional amendment, dan patrick is right on protection of the unborn, we're all born human. Leticia van de putta is real and wrong for texas.

[@KnightxxArrow]

Texas Lt. Governor, the most powerful position in Texas. The Governor of Texas is one of the weakest in all 50 states. I believe Dan Patrick will be best for the job as Lt. Governor in leading the Senate.

Dan Patrick is creepy to me.

[@sam75149]

Where was Kathie Glass and Brandon Parmer for this debate? They were on the ballot too. This dual party crap is ridiculous and discriminatory

[@alonestartexan7709]

I enjoyed voting for Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton. It's time to get busy fixing the areas of Texas that's been neglected by Perry/Dewhurst.

[@janejarrettcd]

He's horrible. She's not much better. Neither one of them is qualified for the job. One or the other of them will win. Either way, the people of Texas will lose.

[@tommiemorado8928]

Go Leticia Go!

[@mopenshaw]

No big win here for either side and that's a BIG loss for Van de Putte. Tantrums by Scotty can't change that. Patrick will be the next Lt. Governor; deal with it. (BTW: this non-church-going Tea Partier with a Chinese immigrant wife and Ugandan daughters can only laugh at your description.)

[@Alexis_pablo91]

unfortunately we have Republicans leading the state of Texas this is a shame. I would like to see Texas go blue .

[@Alexis_pablo91]

me too

[@jaimerios3185]

Van De Putte's voice and facial expressions sound and look contrived.

[@root8272]

I dislike both of these candidates pretty well, but Patrick wiped the floor with Van de Putte mainly because she sounded like she was reading from a damned teleprompter the entire time. Simply put, sounding that fake makes you sound like you just don't have your shit together.

[@alonestartexan7709]

LoL, Wendy Davis sounds the SAME way! I like Dan Patrick and I think he and Abbott will actually be an improvement over Perry/Dewhurst.
