"Gov. Greg Abbott is blaming a scheduling conflict and says he's not gonna be attending the rally in San Antonio today where the president is going to be. He's not taking time for the president."

Trump: "Nobody likes me. Everybody hates me. I'm going to cry and eat worms". Abbott: "It's a scheduling conflict. Honest. I really, really, love The Donald. Please don't hurt me". Hinojosa: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haha ha ha haha ha ha haha ha ha haha ha ha haha ha ha haha ha ha ha"

Abbott’s not attending the rally in San Antonio, because he’s finally clued into the fact that Trump’s toxic. Fewer supporters are attending DJT’s rallies. His approval ratings on inflation, the cost of living, etc., are lower than any president’s in history. He’s lost Latinos, Independents, etc.

San Antonio is more than 60% Latino/Hispanic. I know cuz I live here. Hispanics are not voting for republicans anymore. There are nothing but Hinojosa signs in neighborhoods.

I think there is going to be a bunch of scheduling conflicts that the GOP will have over the next few weeks. Just too bad they cannot spend time with their dear leader.

The Rs themselves are telling us by their own actions that they don't want this election about Trump. Not one ad here in Philly burbs mentions being the GOP candidate. None. Don't debate Rs; remind everyone Trump lies abt everything, is unfit, doesn't care, is corrupt as shit,& needs 2b checked.

Something like: [In trump's voice]: "Look at this guy rolling around in his vehicle...I want one of those-I think I'm getting one of those and roll around the white house some people call it the perfect white house..." Yeah...some stupid shit loke that.

Talarico looks like he should win comfortably. I still wouldn't bet against Abbott, but in my 12 years here in Texas I have never before thought a Democrat had a real chance to win a statewide race. If trends continue, Hinojosa may very well win.

Lived here my entire life. The first time I was eligible to vote was the last time a non-GOP candidate won a statewide race. I thought Cruz was a bad enough candidate that Beto could beat him. I thought he was bad enough that Allred could beat him. Paxton is the embodiment of Cruz's bad vibes.

I'll be satisfied if Talarico is the only D winner this year - I thought he only had a puncher's chance. If Hinojosa wins, I'll be shocked. If Rosenthal wins, I'll be stunned. If Goodwin wins, I'll be so ecstatic I won't know what to do with myself. If Nathan Johnson wins...

The problem is Texas has mastered SELECTIVE voter suppression. They make it painful to vote in heavily populated (lots of Democrats Harris County, Dallas County, Bexar) areas and pain free in reliably red rural areas. They literally choose their voters.

So vote early. You can vote anywhere then. Besides, you're talking about the issue with Republicans in the primary making different rules for each county. They can't do that in the general. Use Dropboxes. There are easy solutions to the garbage Republicans are doing.

Yeah. I thought Allred was a solid candidate (was my Congresscritter before I got gerrymandered in 2022 (and again this year)), but he never connected with most voters, and Cruz was able to ride along on Trump's coattails (remember those?!)

The numbers counsel caution. Hinojosa and Talarico are leading well within the margin of error in most polls. And while few MAGA remain enthusiastic, the hate for liberalism is real and engrained. Get out the vote. This will come down to ground-game.

Is he having his evil lair remodeled? Shaving his cat again? Meeting with devil? You just can't cancel on that guy. Fuck Abbott and the chair he rolled in on. He's the worst of the worst. A state-level super villain.

funny thing abbott was immediately linking himself to trump on election day, federalized the state police while states were still counting ballots, constantly praising him and now he’s just too busy to appear with the man he has called an ally & friend

Can you post this on Threads? There's no preview when sharing from BlueSky to Threads & I'd really like to share this post there.

He's got nothing to offer. Don't let these people just run off after the elections either. They're fascist enablers. Traitors.

“Scheduling conflicts” a euphemism for Trump is toxic, there was a time not so long ago, republicans would compete with each other as to how MAGA and Trumpy they are. Trump is going to be so lame after the midterms.

Hey, come on, it's a for real scheduling conflict. That's the day he blocked out to repeatedly slam his nuts in van door for several hours and what's that's done he has to soak them in lemon juice, and he doesn't want to trade down.

They can run but they can't hide. Everyone who's participated in distilling our country down to its worst iteration needs to go. There's no Trump without an army of Abbotts.

Abbott has spent the last 60 days flipping his position on a number of issues because of how unpopular they are. But they’re all labeled as “pauses” (data centers, maternal health info, Flock cameras) If he wins, November 4th will usher in a wave of “unpausing”, including his Trump sycophancy.

Daily kos article has national PACs spending $160 million on Paxton campaign. But remarks it's mostly TV ads, and nobody watches TV. [ I watch Aaron Rupar video. Thx Aaron.] Paxton has a sad because he feels like DC is running his campaign and he has no say.

his ads are saturating tv, just about every break includes one, they’re all nasty even the one featuring his daughter as she presents him as a wonderful trustworthy man

midterm ads are all local buys as it doesn’t benefit a nominee to runs ads in another state, or even another city, they can buy time in the ad space allotted to local affiliates in network programming & they’re now buying time in location oriented streaming ad blocks, local affiliates love elections

I only have an OTA antenna...the last two weeks the Bears games vs Philadelphia and the Jets have been inundated in Paxton ads. These games were not even broadcast to Texas...wasting $$$ appealing to people that can't vote in Texas...

Scheduling conflict is the greatest phrase of the English language for how to avoid people you don't like. Everyone can use it, it's great.

Who is the disloyal Republican putting on an event during the president’s event that is keeping this other disloyal Republican from going?

Not a great position to be in having to choose whether to piss off the dregs of the cult or the ones who are already pissed off at the President.

For years, GOP toadies like Abbott gleefully yielded all their power to Trump. Now, no one has any sway over him. So, if Trump wants to campaign for them, campaign he will. Even if it costs them the election. Poetic justice!

On the same day Ken Paxton called the war and gas prices "by far our biggest problem", Texas's own governor found a scheduling conflict with Trump's rally. In Texas four weeks before the midterms Republicans are starting to keep their distance.

Huh? Do I have to write HYPOCRITE in capital letters from now on when referring to those evangelical Christian nationalist hypocritical liars known as Republicans? Abandoning the leader you once cherished so dearly just because you’re losing votes! You remain scum, after all, and lies don't stick!

I am certain that Trump will make some negative comments about Abbott regarding the charity. Even if Abbott himself is not present, this is highly likely to damage him.

The president and leader of your party comes to your state to campaign when you are in a tight race and suddenly its like 'Sorry can't make it, seems I have a dentist appt that day and if like you cancel within a month of the appt they charge you anyway.'
