None of y'all don't see Abbott going for a 3rd term in 2022 ?

Even though we don't have term limits, the custom has always been no more than two terms (or no more than 6-8 years back when we had two-year terms). Rick Perry parted with this custom, but that's only because his broke @$$ has never had a real career or any money of his own and he wants to mooch off the fringe benefits of this job for as long as possible. Greg Abbott could never work another day of his life and be just fine, so that's not an issue for him.

The custom was for an incumbent to be defeated in their attempt for re-election.
