That will hurt him so badly in the race agains Beto. That's because the republicans, who are a majority in Texas, care so very much what Democrats in New York and Washington care about their candidate.
You live "up there". You don't get to vote in Texas elections. I live down here, and I don't care what the media in New York says. Here in Texas, the polls show this as a win for abbott. Down here, they don't mind that he spent $12 million of their tax dollars to bus asylum seekers. As long as it pisses off libs and yankees, they love it.
What part of helping to keep Texas red is hard to understand? You keep saying how "up here" we don't like abbott because of this and think he is a fool. How many of those "up there" are going to vote in the Texas election?
abbott and the republicans screwed up our electric grid and he blame it on green energy. Texans saw through it.
abbott sent the Texas National Guard to play cards by the border for months saying it was protecting the wall. Texans saw through it.
Then he pulled this stunt. The mayors bitched about how tacky abbott was and moaned about how much money it was going to cost them. Had they told the press how happy they were to take care of the problem for the poor inept governor and how they welcomed their new neighbors, Texans would have gotten it. Instead, he gets the win.
Do you think AOC should stop being so liberal because the voters in Waco are pissed off at her? When some red-necked asshole turns purple with rage and spews hate at AOC because of her work, do you think that New Yorkers don't laugh and giggle?
Politics is a national game, but voting is local.
