Greg Abbott is the worst thing to happen to Texas. Period.

Still lead with PPA. I’d concede him in the hunt though

I doubt most readership know who (Lt. Gov.Dan) Patrick is or why he's on your list. Not sure why you would put a Bible-thumping Christian fundamentalist on your list.

For his claim to fame of a few years back when he told older Americans to die off to save the country for the younger folks.

He’s the brains of the operation, so I have it Abbott, Patrick, Paxton but all three are the worst easily.

They can’t win unless they cheat. Nothing new there.

Basically, the populace needs representation.

Do what you must do to enable that representation!

I agree. What would the Repugs do if the shoe were on the other foot? I wonder if that ever came up when a Dem. governor held a seat open for an abnormal amount of time? I can't recall, but my guess would be that they'd go ahead with an election much earlier, and if the opposing party didn't show up, they'd lose. It's a little of my wishful thinking.

Abbott is a creep... a disabled creep, but still a creep, which in fact makes him seem creepier than he otherwise would be. When the national nightmare ends, I hope the actions taken to hold politicians accountable for their enablement of Trump doesn't stop at the federal level... when plenty of Red State politicians like the Creepy Texas Governor sold their constituents a bill of goods in the form of manufactured bullshit and lies in their quest for power.

I hate my governor. Hot Wheels McGhee loves to take our rights away from us. He’s still mad at that tree that fell on him. What a bastard.

Wow! Your comment is right on the mark and the first I've seen. Often people recover from a lifelong traumatic injury with new empathy and compassion. Abbott went the other direction and loves to dish out hatred, cruelty, sadism. (I'm a former Texan living in Mexico.)

He STILL needs to be held accountable for what he did during the Deep Freeze 4 years ago. Negligent Asshole. Thankfully, his approval ratings are Finally slumping.

And I hate to match their hatred but the time is now for us to shame them and ridicule to no end. They don’t care about us and I don’t care about them. As if we are supposed to be soft and kind while they run ram shot over us. I’m done, get your dukes up.. thanks for the support. Mexico sounds nice.. ☀️

I live in Texas (Tarrant County). Cheating is a way of life for the GOP here. How many states can boast that their state Attorney General has been under federal investigation for over five years for corruption. Which the Trump DoJ just dropped. Imagine that.

The GOP cheats in every state they are, regardless of whether they are in power or not. I'm in FL where our gov is no less a dictator and a cheat than Trump or Abbott. Free speech does not exist in this state anymore; books that tell truth are banned and can't be taught in schools. Teachers don't want to teach here anymore.

Texas lawmakers cheat no matter what Paxton last year went looking for Dem in Latino group that’s been running for 75yr they got search warrants heals an 82yr woman for 8hrs in her own house being harassed. Then threw off 100,000 voters saying they were dead but their weren’t funny they were for Houston. Ever wonder way REPUBLICANS ARE OVER EVER BRANCH IN TX? Where women are not considered citizens in Abbott eyes, or worse yet the killing in Uvlade where mostly Latinos live he never really cared for those kids

They cheat in every election. They remove ballot box’s out Democrats area to only have 1 or 2. Until Texas & Georgia get rid of the republican in Gov and their Capital they continue to cheat. Now Ga is going after the 1 Women that’s Qualified to run for Gov they have rep attacking and threatening her with investigation rep Sen brought charges against her. Their PATHETIC LITTLE MEN THEY CAN HANDLE STRONG INTELLIGENT WOMEN LIKE STACY ABRAMS I FIND THESE MEN WEAK AND LOW LIFE NOTHINGS.

Greg Abbott might as well wear his KKK robe and hood everywhere! Despicable creature roaming Texas wreaking havoc on the people.

Jeffries needs to now not only sue him but also "yell from the rooftops" about what Abbott is doing. He needs to let him and the rest of his party know that it takes "two to tango" and that "what comes around, goes around" and that he will remember and act when it's "his" turn!

Greg Abbott is a mean old man who's afraid of death and because of that he makes everyone else miserable. He's the guy sitting on the porch yelling, "Hey you kids, get off the grass!"

Abbot has shown his true colors and they are not with the American people. The special election should happen now so that the people in that section are represented by the person they choose to vote in.
