Dan Patrick

Dan Patrick interests me less for his politics than for his trajectory. He started as a Baltimore radio and television broadcaster before becoming Texas lieutenant governor, and that broadcasting DNA is everywhere in how he operates. Few politicians are this fluent at shaping a message and holding an audience, because he spent years doing exactly that for a living. Whatever one makes of his positions, the communicative discipline is undeniable, and still going strong well into his seventies. I read him as a study in how mastery of voice and timing translates into raw political durability. That craft, at least, commands my attention.
