Apparently the polls for the Republican Primary nominee is showing a tie between Allen West and Abott. Trump has given his endorsement to Abott. If Abott was to loose, racist anti-color Trumpanzees would not show up to vote for a black Republican for gov. By the way, West is a supporter of Texas succession movement, so if west is the nominee it would be a win-win for the Democrats in different ways.

Who's running on the dem side? I know Beto has his hat in the ring but his anti gun stance in Texas doesn't make for good odds

Look'em up and then tell me who the Peached One's posse won't vote for.

There is a chance Trump may not support West. Apparently the state of Texas government (especially the GOP) itself is angry with West and accusing him of "conflict of interest", as he was the head of Texas GOP when he declared his run for governor of the state as a GOP candidate.

It should be noted that the most recent Paradigm Partners poll (polls?) was conducted on behalf of West's campaign. I'm more inclined to believe the other polls that indicate the race will be uncompetitive.

It pains me to say this, but I'd rather have Abbott for another term than that loony war criminal West. Thank jeebus that Huffines, who is somehow even farther right than everyone else, is in distant third.

I know Walker is on the ballot and Trump-endorsed (not sure about the others), but he hasn't won yet

Georgia dumping Raphael Warnock to elect Herschel Walker would be like the Cowboys trading Emmitt Smith, Darren Woodson, and Russell Maryland back to the Vikings for Herschel Walker.

I'm not seeing the logic because those same racist anti color Trumpanzees who voted for West in the primary wouldn't show up in the general?
