The horror!<\/p>\n<p>To me and others, what&#8217;s horror-inducing is choosing to cast O&#8217;Rourke supporter and former Texas State Senator, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wendy_Davis_(politician)\">Wendy Davis<\/a>, as a monster. For the intended viewer, it&#8217;s a desperate reach for humor. For everyone else, it&#8217;s just another piece of trash made with mal intent and bad taste.<\/p>\n<h2>Drill, Drill, Drill (It Into Their Heads)<\/h2>\n<p>Beto is facing an opponent who will do whatever is necessary to win. Running TV ads is necessary and in recent days, the Abbott campaign has announced nearly $20 million in ad buys, emphasizing its massive financial advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another attack ad from Governor Abbott that seeks to make the &#8220;Green New Deal&#8221; (which Beto supports) seem like a virulent form of communism from the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wY4VrkCV9kE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>What about Beto&#8217;s capabilities as a chief executive?
