UT-Tyler poll McCounghey leads Abbott by 9

[Cyrusman]

At this point whatever O'Rourke said about guns is irrelevant since the votes he needs aren't AR-15 fanatics and gun control will not be on the front burner. What will matter next year is Abbott's response to COVID, the abortion bill and the power grid failure. You also have to factor in that Abbott is seeking a third full term and that can be a hard sell with declining approvals.

You can’t say that Beto’s comments are irrelevant then bring out the power grid situation. That will be long history by November 2022 as well. That will not be an issue by then and long forgotten about. Last year there were awful consistent power outages in California during the summer with some areas not having power for 1-2 days and that was competent irrelevant in the California election.

Um, the power grid situation was a real issue for millions of people and there still haven't been any real steps to correct the problem. But whatever you want to believe, I have no desire to argue with folks like you.

Sure and that will be nearly 2 years old by November 2022. It will have just as much effect as the California power outages in the summer of 2020 did for Newsom
And your clearly  showing bias if you don’t think for a minute Beto’s comments won’t hurt him.

Comments and actual events are two different things. Next year is very unlikely to be about gun control and any Democrat running statewide in Texas is going to run on an easy issue like the power grid. It's something that you can remind voters of that will actually stick.

California's power outages were blamed on the power companies by most people. Texas' massive power failure was the result of deregulation.

But God Bless You.

God bless you if you don’t think someone as far left as Beto is with his previous comments (which by the way is very easy to remind voters of) won’t have any affect or negativity in a state like Texas.
