His wife simply makes a case for his character. She also suggests that &#8220;Hard work, perseverance, and family\u2014that&#8217;s what defines Greg Abbott and how he governs Texas.&#8221;<\/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\/k71dARrSdNs?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>For the GOP, keeping things simple for voters is paramount. Abbott is a good guy, a safe bet, and most importantly he has an &#8216;R&#8217; next to his name. In other words, the more milquetoast he can appear the better.<\/p>\n<p>You may wonder, doesn&#8217;t Abbott, like any politician, need to persuade people to vote for him? That would be logical but this is Texas. People outside of the state might be surprised to learn that it was 28 years\u2014in 1994\u2014since a Texas Democrat won a statewide election. Since that time, the GOP has held the governor&#8217;s office and every other statewide office.<\/p>\n<p>GOP candidates in Texas expect to win and for almost three decades they&#8217;ve been right. Maybe this midterm election will be different. Maybe people have had enough of corruption and chaos. Maybe, the US Supreme Court just handed the Democratic Party the best chance it has had in decades to win and win big at the local, state, and federal levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his radical conservative peers on the nation&#8217;s top bench did not consult the public when they overturned Roe earlier this year.
