This Texan bends a knee to dictatorial Donald Trump:
[x] Abbott “has certainly been very loyal to former President Trump, so he has that going for him”.
[x] “[T]here is very little chance that Abbott would try to outshine Trump.”
[x] “[H]e has acted like someone positioning himself for national office.”
[x] “He has almost quixotically staked out support for school vouchers — catnip for national Republican voters — even though Texas lawmakers largely are opposed.”
[x] He has recently “journeyed to the Middle East to show his support for Israel.”
[x] Abbott has been governor for a decade, and it is difficult to say what he has succeeded in doing to improve the lives of his constituents. His legacy consists entirely of keeping a few people out, at fabulous expense.
