Trump endorsed Abbott before Allen West announced his run. Abbott had started beating his chest about the border (of course he knew the rumors of West challenging him). Before that, he had done very little, other than do live press events, and set aside more Texas taxpayer funds to manage the ILLEGAL ALIENS.
The biggest problem is a serious lack of candidates. 90% of his endorsements seem to stab him in the back, even many we thought would be great. What else can you do if no good people run for office or all of them are snakes?
That's always been our biggest downfall. Voting matters even less then a stolen election if all of the candidates always turn on us. We have needed serious candidate reform for decades. People just won't come together and do it.
Nothing; I voted for him, too. But, (1) Trump had endorsed Abbott before Allen West announced his run. (2) In the primary, the votes were split because of West and Huffines being the top contenders against Abbott. If they had worked that out, and only one of them challenge Abbot, I think there would have at least been a runoff.
After he won the primary, Abbott started "slow walking" the border fight again (yes, rhetorically). I do believe this new effort is because of Kari Lake; she's going to win AZ, and she is very vocal, and adamant, about shutting down the border and sending ALL the illegals back. Abbott has never spoken about the border with the determination that she has.
I say this as someone who voted for Abbott in the past (voted for West this time). It has become obvious to me that Abbott doesn't act; he reacts. When other governors, in particular DeSantis, comes out tough on something, here comes Abbott. And that's my point about Kari Lake; she is going to embarrass him if he doesn’t get his ass in gear.
Words matter. Returning to the boarder means they are returned to the boarder point of entry, NOT to Mexico. They will be released to the boarder patrol who are required under current federal law to release them. This was all about smoke and mirrors. Don’t trust Abbott and never will! RINO.
He is so compromised. Shocked Trump endorsed him.
Very Vertically compromised. He has slow walked everything possible and I dont trust him.

What was wrong with Allen West? I supported him. Strong policies.

Like when I take my cat off the table... she always get back on the table
Gee, why didn't he think of that ... years ago?
Too little— too late?
