What People Say About Them

“You cannot govern by ideology alone. You cannot be crazier than all your voters. And this is a state that's dealing with multiple different issues of a growing state that's growing faster than at the pace of which people can keep up with. A good politician should have recognized that. And Greg Abbott, if he was this unbelievable campaigner in the suburbs that people kind of assigned it to him.

I mean, that's just the truth of it. You cannot govern by ideology alone. You cannot be crazier than all your voters. And this is a state that's dealing with multiple different issues of a growing state that's growing faster than at the pace of which people can keep up with. A good politician should have recognized that. And Greg Abbott, if he was this unbelievable campaigner in the suburbs that people kind of assigned it to him. He would not only be three points ahead by a woman who he's outraised hundreds of millions of dollars more. That is a failure on the part of Abbott. And he has avoided all blame thus far. I think I mean, I'm hoping that Republicans pull out every statewide race in Texas and I can say, oh, Ryan, your fears were were they were overstated. They were overstated. Don't worry. Every Republican showed up and they ended up landing 10 point victories. But if that doesn't happen, we know the shortcomings of Donald Trump's presidency. We know the…

…and their gun. And they went out and they got in their squad car and they did their level best. Nobody, you know, they didn't win an award, but they helped a little old lady. They helped somebody find something they'd lost. They helped a woman who was being beaten. Yesterday, thousands of people worked at polling locations and worked in campaigns. And have you seen this app that Abbott's got? The Abbott campaign app is the best thing I have seen to come out of politics in 25 years. I'm not kidding. I don't know who built this, but they are good. The Greg Abbott app is the best thing I have seen. I haven't seen it. I've seen it in practice.
