Patrick: Mainstream Media is Wrong

About Texas Women
Trump Leads Clinton by 10 Points in Most Recent Texas Poll

HOUSTON Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, Texas Chairman of the Trump for
President Campaign, issued the following statement today:
It is no secret that the main stream media, including most of the press
in Texas, are backing the Democratic nominee for President, Hillary
Clinton. So it was no surprise this week that some in local press corps
seized on most recent social media outrage generated by Texas
Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller. As we said earlier this week, using
such offensive is intolerable and there is absolutely no excuse for it.
But the press was wrong to suggest that this incident would impact
the way women in Texas will vote in the presidential race. I have been
campaigning across this state for almost a year, first as the Texas Chair
for Ted Cruz for President campaign and now as the Texas Chair for
Donald Trump and I can tell you that Texas women are solidly behind
the Republican ticket, from the White House to the Court House. Even
before all the facts about the pay to play, violations of classified
material and basic dishonesty came out against Clinton, Texas women
were never going to support a pro-abortion, anti-gun, tax and spend
liberal who will pack the Supreme Court with people who want to take
away our freedom of speech and expand abortion.
The Emerson College Poll, the most recent survey taken in Texas,
shows Trump leading Clinton among women by 10 points. Overall,
they found Trump leading by 14 in Texas. Currently, the Real Clear
Politics average of the last four polls done in Texas show Trump with a
10.8 point lead.
We know in Texas that when women, work we win and believe me,
women are working hard from the Red River to the Rio Grande to get
out the vote and Keep Texas Red, from the White House to the Court
House.
