Do you think Abbott is a lock in the primary? I used to, but am not so sure after COVID-19.

I still feel he's a lock. If Hutchinson couldn't break 40% if I recall against Perry, no one is breaking Abbott

Starting to seem less and less likely he gets re-elected, especially if he can't even hold onto hardcore conservatives now.

Starting to think you're weighing stuff nearly two years out way too heavily.

All media outlets reporting on this news are referring to him as an ex-W. strategist (because, y'know, he was literally the W. re-elect's chief strategist), except for Fox, who are referring to him as a "left-wing pundit." So, y'know, Fox journalism!

In any event, a friend of a friend is his campaign manager, so here's hoping that he has a chance!!

narrator: he, in fact, did not have a chance.

Yeah, O'Rourke is just becoming a perennial candidate. McConaughey would be far better

At what point does this occur? Like seeing descriptions of John James as a perennial candidate just seems wrong. He's not running for random seats whenever possible, it was only two times. It seems the same for Robert here, with him having made one close af race, his god awful "just made for it" presidential campaign, and now this run for governor. Does the prez race really turn him into a perennial candidate?
