If Abbott ends up supporting anyone other than Ted Cruz he’s a fool.
Abbott, as Texas Attorney General, appointed Cruz as Solicitor General.
Lets hold off a little bit before we call Abbott a fool.
I currently have a Cruz sign (doctored from his senate run) on my gate along a major road and have sent my donations in. If a strong conservative candidate with Texas values has a better chance of getting the stink out of the White House, I would vote for him.
I just like being able to vote in the Primary before the decision has already been made. Some way or the other I think the second largest state with the strongest economy should have a little more say than Iowa about who the national leader is...
Do not denigrate Gov. Greg Abbott by saying that. He is brilliant, a conservative to the max, and thoughtful before he acts. He may not endorse a candidate, but if he does, I believe it would be Cruz, since both think alike and act similarly.
He chose Cruz to be his number one man when he (Abbott) was Texas Attorney General. He counseled with Cruz (well after Cruz was US Senator) to help determine the language and choosing the judge to use in the suit against Obama and his bringing in illegals by the thousands - that suit is still ongoing. That is the suit that 16 other states (I think it is 16) joined in.
Abbott has the luxury of supporting many good Republican candidates and a couple of them are from Texas. He will make the right choice.
