After listening to Allen West on Tim Pool's live show tonight, I believe Abbot is also waffling on the border situation. States don't need the federal government's permission to protect their own borders, Texas has every right to send in the national guard to counter catch and release.
Can you give me some examples? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just wanting to learn more about the leadership of my new state.
AS far as what I said, you can refer to the 10th Amendment.
I think Desantis pretty much stole the show and over shadowed Abbott. Desantis is seen as setting the stage for lifting the restrictions, and unfortunately that puts Abbott in the me too category with a portion of the populace. All in all, if you look at the other 49 governors and where those states are in their freedoms, jobs, and economic opportunities, Abbott has done a good job for Texas, and if he’s re-elected then I certainly won’t lose any sleep over it. Yes, I would also like to hear more from Allen West. I’m intrigued and I do think he would give Abbott a run for his money. I do wonder though if any skeletons will surface if or when he throws his political hat in the arena. I also wonder if political damage during the debates is worth it to oust a sitting Governor that is (in my mind) at 90% of where we need to be. Just my observations.
Allen West has entered the governor race, that's why he resigned as the chairman of the Texas Republican Party.

This list could be much longer. The problem is that he'll "talk" well, but then, when say, he could actually call a special session to do something, he does it on fluff stuff, never the actual priorities. And the fact that he HAS called special sessions tells you that the things he doesn't bring up to those special sessions aren't really that important to him. Yes, he finally signed a permitless carry bill this time around, but he said he'd do that several sessions before, and never before bothered to add it as a legislative priority for a special session.Gov.

There are a bunch of us that would hold our nose to vote for Abbott if he wins the primary, but are dedicated to voting for a primary challenger against him. That said, I wouldn't vote for him as President, and would write in someone else instead...
No, trumps done.
I agree in that I don't think Pence was being malicious, but I still tend to think Pence could have and should have moved slower and addressed the voting irregularities in a number of states.
