It is not a "political production failure". I live in Texas. abbott is making money and getting votes from this here. It is myopic to say that it is only a staged event for the base. Yes. It is a staged event for the base. And because of the reaction from these cities, that staged event is doing exactly what abbott wanted. He doesn't care if it looks like a joke to you. You can't vote for him. He is getting the assholes that vote for him fired up with this.

Your last two sentences should be what the mayors are saying.
