He refused to answer that question TWICE in the debate — nobody forgets that in the 2020 debates he said “ hell yes, we are coming for your guns”. Video Tape gets them every time. Video Tape also has Robert Francis supporting Black Lives Matter and Defunding Police.

You are correct about that 2016 Senate race in Texas. Cruz made a fool of himself at the Republican Convention and it landed in Texas like a turd in a punch bowl. The Texas GOP went into overdrive to try and talk Rick Perry into running for the Senate. Cruz went into overdrive to save his election and managed it due to how Radical Robert Francis is.

I doubt it — Texans know who Robert Francis is and there is all that history and Video Tape on him.
There are 3-4 main issues people will vote on :
#1)Top issue is Texas is the Border and what the Open Border does to Texas. Abbott gets this, RF’O doesn’t.
#2/#3). Inflation, Economy & Taxes. Abbott wins here. Robert Francis has the very odd idea that if we expand Medicaid that will lower Property Taxes (said this in the Debate). RF’O is a True Progressive (anti-gun, anti-fossil fuel, anti-Police) Texas Property Taxes are high, it’s an issue. The bulk of our Property Taxes are for Schools. Revenue from Fossil fuels go to schools among other things — not to mention all the jobs. We must have a Governor that defends our main source of Revenue.
The 2nd Amendment STANDS in Texas. Gun Grabbers do not get elected once they are identified.
It’s why the very popular Democrat Governor of Texas lost to George Bush - Ann Richards.
#4)Robert Francis says the Election is ALL about Abortion - closer to 4th . I had no problem with the Texas Abortion Law when it was passed. Now that SCOTUS has returned Law back to the States, I think it needs some tweaking and expect the Legislature to do that. Robert Francis appears to think the Governor of Texas makes Law (Biden Thinking) - he is wrong.

It should be a crime to proliferate terrorism. Yet more than half of people in red states think this stupid stunt is a good thing.

You bet they think busing these invaders to the self proclaimed Sanctuary Cities is a good thing — the vast majority of Texans agree. The “stunt” as the Leftists call it dies one main thing — it brings wide attention to what small towns go through every single day by the 1,000’s and exposes the hypocrisy of the so called Sanctuary Cities that go into Hysterical Meltdown over a 50 person Bus load.
As for Abbott and the Terror designation— Abbot started arresting the illegals on private land (can’t do it on Public Land) and jailing them - he issued an EO Terrorist designation against 2 Drug Cartels last week - 81 People on the Federal Terrorist List have been captured at the border and doesn’t count the 100’s of 1,000’s of GotAways.
