Abbott refused to debate if there was a live audience. What's he afraid of?


Getting shot by a liberal.

Not just Uvalde parents. Pretty much anyone who isn't firmly on his side. It's why he doesn't try to reach out to these people.


Most people on this board are not "firmly on his side".

Why would you vote for Beto?

I'd argue that most here are, they just disagree with him on the covid stuff that lasted like 3 weeks. Point being, Abbott thinks the R next to his name is enough to get him elected (and it is), so he doesnt bother with outreach to other voters.

Beto regularly invites Abbott/Trump supporters into his rallies and takes questions from them, unless they are being disruptive.

No point in getting into reasons why I'm voting Beto. I won't convince you of anything. I'll just say that I'm quite sick of one-party domination in Texas and I think we need some change. And the Rs in power in Texas are very extreme and in my experience, not representative of most Texans at all. They dont care about the real issues facing Texans and instead are there to aggressively push their agenda. Abbott is a terrible governor. He has nothing to hang his hat on and his only selling points are "Beto bad! Beto communist!"

He doesn't want to take my guns, he wants a secure border, and believes my money is best served remaining in my pocket. He also is 100x the leader when compared to Beto. Beto is also a gimp focused on serving a national liberal agenda.

Honest question - do you think that Beto's views are more representative of most Texans than Greg Abbott's? Or, more to your point, are Beto's views more representative of Texans than the Texas Legislature's? If so, why?

For the first question, maybe not. Hard to say. The demographics have shifted in Texas a lot in the past decade alone. It's a very diverse state with a lot of beliefs. Probably not, he's a bit too liberal. But if he were more middle of the road, possibly.

Second question, yes. Unequivocally. The TxLege is very out of touch. Much like how the US Congress isn't very representative of real Americans.

That he would have to carry out what Biden/Pelosi/Schumer set out is more than enough reason to dismiss.

It would be like putting the OBidens in charge of Texas's energy and economic policy, and the blue DA vision of "law enforcement" state-wide.

It's literally what he said less than 24 hours after it happened.

ETA: he also thanked the police for their "bravery" or whatever. Completely and utterly embarrassing.

How do you reconcile that with blue DAs (Beto's party) consistently going lax on law enforcement and constantly thinking of ways to let criminals free rather than say, draconian and immediate punishment for any that threaten schools or survive doing a shooting.

The mass shooters that didn't suicide are all still alive. Wouldn't your side be the first to object to them being summarily disposed of, name erased, family holdings seized? If you won't seek to deter them, how can you say its a concern.

I don't personally care if they get swiftly executed. But I'm not convinced its a deterrent to people like that who are so ****ed in the head. It also doesn't address the cause, but is a reactive solution that satisfies a need for revenge. It's not really a solution.

As embarrassing as a candidate that has been arrested multiple times? Wears a dress? Writes stories about harming children? Constantly says the F word in rallies?

Beto has already lost two big elections and yet you robots line up for another ass whipping.

Congrats on your stupidity.

Don't forget all of the judges elected in 2018 on Beta's coattails.

They are the main reason Harris County has gone to complete *****
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Nope, no one did at that point.

Notice part of it is giving the family an incentive to be more watchful. And the Media circus halted by abolishing the name. Believe Dane Loesch suggested that.

And revenge is fine for something like that. It solves it enough. It makes it somewhat deterring and that culprit doesn't repeat it.

Exactly. Blue DAs also just allow destructive vagrancy and homeless camps at will, and store mob robberies like in the north.

I'm not one to hold someone's past against them. If Beto had gotten arrested recently that would be a cause for concern. But I think people can put the past behind them.

Writes stories about harming children? Give me a break.

Uses the terrible F word? You can save the pearl clutching for someone else. I'm not interested in hearing it. And for what it's worth, that mother****er who he was talking to who was laughing about the Uvalde shooting deserved worse than that.

Yeah I don't love Beto as a candidate. I'd rather someone more electable run. But he's our candidate and Abbott is trash.

He's have run this state like a blue state during covid. And maskers like Larry culpepper would have been thrilled about that as your kid sat masked in a school. If they were even open.

What is the "cause"?
no one single cause. a complicated problem. But in sum, a mental health crisis and widespread (legal) availability of firearms. Abbott (and his party) aren't interested in addressing either of these 2 issues.

There's nothing to address regarding the second part which is precisely why Beta is trash. Dude is probably praying for another school shooting so he can have more props. And honestly most of supporters probably are too.

As long as your party keeps encouraging lawlessness and increasingly making the most routine of places unsafe now from reprobate behavior, people are going to need to stay armed.

And that should stay true unless every anti-gun politician and reporter gives up their guards and security.

is that an excuse? it's incredibly irresponsible and disrespectful to say 19 kids getting murdered in his state "coulda been worse." He's seriously going to say glass half full here? How desensitized are we to this horror at this point? Honestly this makes him appear to be a very broken man running a very broken state.

The time to replace Abbott was the primary, that didn't happen so here we are. The ideal candidate for Texas aligns more with someone like DeSantis, not Newsome. There isn't a single position Beto purports which makes him a better option....not one.

While Abbott **** the bed with his covid response, that pales in comparison with what would have happened with Beto. Add to that:

  • open borders / uncontrolled illegal immigration
  • soft on crime / defund police
  • attack on the second amendment
  • abortion for convenience
  • full blown wokeness
  • doubling down on public sector unions
  • throwing good money after bad into the current public education system

the list goes on, and on, and on. The only reason the numbers are tightening over the years is because the transplants escaping their failed states, yet continuing to vote the same.

Beto would be an absolute disaster and it isn't even close.
