DALLAS — The top two Texans in state government called for Republicans to unite behind their party's presumptive nominee, Donald Trump.
"We must come together, we must support our Republican nominee for president: Donald Trump,” said Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick at the Texas GOP convention in Dallas Thursday morning.
Gov. Greg Abbott framed his case to the party faithful in a more nuanced fashion. He repeatedly criticized the Democratic frontrunner, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but he never named Trump.
“America does not have the luxury to get this election wrong,” Abbott said. “Republicans must unite to prevent Hillary Clinton from continuing the Obama agenda.”
“All of us, we need to come to grips with the reality that the biggest threat to our freedom is a government that ignores the United States Constitution," he said.
“The alarm bells are ringing," he later added.
