Review Tom Pauken’s campaign Website and cite a place where you see him promoting Leftist values. Using the argument, “don’t nominate this guy because he will lose against the other Party’s nominee is an effective strategy too.”

I am a Texas voter, right? Most Texas voters who only see the headlines are going to think Tom Pauken only lives to attack Abbott. I never said he promoted leftist values, I only said there needs to be a better strategy than non-stop attacks on Abbott if he wants to win the primary.
Most voters are not going to go to his website to look for conservative values and principles. They will only see the headlines and video/audio clips on the news.
They will wonder what is Tom Pauken about besides hitting Abbott. Pauken needs to camapign on his values and principles for a while and simply not mention Abbott. Why? Because that is what front-runners do. They do it because it makes them sound like someone who expects to win. Like it’s in the bag.
This strategy does not make Pauken sound like someone who expects to win. Biting at the heels of Abbott makes Abbott sound like he is running away with the nomination. Don’t you think it’s a bit early to be sounding desperate to voters?
Do you understand my point now?
