Yet the constant refrain is “harrumph, when is he actually going to DO something?” What else can he do to prove he’s the real deal?
Maybe it’s because I’ve been stuck in one of the bluest states in the country for 18 years but from here Abbott looks like a damn good governor.

Short of starting Civil War 2, they concern trolls, DNC plants, or whoever they are will not be satisfied.
...and no, most Texans aren’t into starting a shooting war with the federal government, at least not yet.
Ditto...

...oh man, he’s great. Out of 9 GrassRoots priorities, he passed ONE! 18 years of control and the Rinos have refused to address property taxes ... lots of show on border and he allows the FEDS to invite and fly invaders all over the US.
He is sold out one worlder and lifts a middle finger to the conservatives in he state. Primary him!
Yeah, I think it was the same for DT - he did what he could to try to close the border. He got a lot of flack from his own people (including his kid(s)) that prevented him from doing anything really decisive, and yet he did manage to stem the tide of invaders for a short time. Abbott does not have a lot to work with; Texas is, like Florida, being punished. They won’t get a lot of sympathy asking for, let’s say, National Guard troops.
Compare Abbott to Colorado’s own Jared Polis. If I posted my usual nickname for him here, I’d get banned for sure. You’ll agree Abbott isn’t that bad at all.
I’m in Texas and I like him.
The people coming across and looking to turn themselves in are turned over for processing. The ones sneaking across and trying to escape are arrested. I live in the next town of any size from Del Rio and they have car chases here too.
I sit here in ruby red Alabama wishing I could trade memaw for him.
