Kronberg says the longtime master of manufactured outrage in Texas faces real outrage from GOP voters

Abbott put Patrick on defense with an unusually long veto message in which the governor described what must be in THC legislation that he would sign and denies Patrick legislative hostages during a special session

What a delicious moment in Texas politics.

Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who built a career on manufactured outrage, is finding the technique falling flat as he tries to persuade an audience of the evils and perils of THC, apparently oblivious to the huge constituencies who know he is misleading them. The vast majority of Texans have some kind of first or second-hand contact with THC and know that the Reefer Madness scenarios painted by the Lite Gov has virtually no basis in reality.

But it is the politics that are truly interesting.
