DecisiondeskHQ has Abbott up 68 percent to the nearest challenger in the teens (Huffines) with West close behind him. Embarrassing.

Like I said, if it was a low low turn out then I am highly disappointed. What more do we need to get people to vote? Then people wonder I am so pessamistic these days about our ability to fix anything.

Huffines and West combined have less than 30% of the vote, and Abbott is winning in the most conservative counties in the Texas Panhandle, South Plains, and the Permian Basin by comfortable margins. It is likely Abbott will move leftward as he faces O'Rourke. This is the strategy Richard Nixon advised: be conservative in the Republican primary and move to the center in the general election.

Other bad news: Dan Crenshaw, a graduate of Klaus Schwab's young leaders school and a critic of conservative positions on the 2020 election steal, has clearly won his primary by a large margin in suburban Houston. In suburban Dallas, Van Taylor, who supported the establishment of the January 6th Commission, is well ahead of two opponents, although he is at 52%, so a runoff is still possible.

One piece of good news: Tim O'Hare, a conservative, is well ahead of Betsy Price, former Fort Worth mayor and a RINO.
