I absolutely hated Rick Perry. In state tuition for illegal aliens? Why the fuck are illegal aliens at a state funded university to begin with? They should have been grabbed up from their dorm rooms and deported, not given free shit.
Having said that, Abbott didn't do anything to change that, and Abbott has been responsible for untold Texas businesses failing and untold workers losing their jobs with his bullshit edicts. I'm thankful he finally figured out that was a bad idea, but we're still suffering under a statewide mask mandate for indoor businesses.
I was OK with Abbott before this year, but this year has really exposed a bunch of folks. Will definitely vote to primary.
Abbott got like 56% of the vote, like a 12 point lead. My parents voted for Biden and Hillary but voted for Abbott. He's good, and I don't blame him for being restrictive on covid because he's actually at risk.
Sometimes you have to think about these politicians perspectives on the virus. I don't blame Joe for wanting to lock everything down because if he gets COVID he will dies immediately. Meanwhile our president isn't afraid and even got it and recovered in the same week.
Well he hasn't really done a great job advancing conservative priorities. And not only is his COVID response detestable, his COVID panel is corporate hacks and academics. And Mattress Mack for pandering purposes. Sorry, he's a statist shit bag who deserves the rope alongside Newsome and DeWine.
I agree with this, especially after his mask debacle. I sent a message to the governors office saying I did not agree with him and never heard back. He wont get my vote. He's a RINO through and through, sits on the fence too much! If you sit on the fence looking to appease both sides then you don't have conviction either way.

Yup, Perry is a democrat that simply changed his party affiliation. Even said so himself, yet aaaaalllllll the Texas conservatives voted for him.
After what we’ve seen with the current election I’d be willing to believe fraud played a part too.
I thought the toll road you're talking about was funded by Cintra, a Spanish company?

Edit: I share your disdain for Perry, maybe not as, uh, enthusiastically as you, though.
Signing a law and enforcement are two very different things
Yawn...Abbott sucks ass. Just because W and Perry were really bad doesn't mean abbott is good

Abbott is a mixed bag for sure, as long as he doesn't lock us down again
Texan here. Met all 3 past governors. Abbott was doing well but now...I think he has his eye on loftier positions. I expect he will run for President.
