HOUSTON, Texas -- On Friday Texas' Attorney General Greg Abbott and State Senator Wendy Davis -- both gubernatorial candidates -- debated in the state's Rio Grande Valley. During the course of the debate, the issue of education came up. After hearing what Abbott had to say, a defensive Davis spoke when she was not supposed to and even interrupted a moderator multiple times--despite being told that it was not her turn to speak.
The incident began after Davis asked Abbott a question that began, "Judge Dates has recently ruled against you and in favor of the school children of Texas, ruling that our schools are unconstitutionally underfunded."
She continued, "The only thing right now coming between our children and appropriate funding of their schools today is you. On behalf of the five million children of this state, will you agree tonight that you will drop your appeals and allow our schools to be appropriately funded?"
Responding to Davis, Abbott confidently responded, "There's actually another thing coming between me and settling that lawsuit. That is a law that you voted to pass in 2011 that removes from the Attorney General the ability to settle lawsuits just like this. But it's important to understand that what I want to do is focus on creating, as governor, a better education system in this state."
"This time we [should] put aside our partisan differences aside when it comes to building a better future for the next generation,"(continued)

I moved back to Houston after ten years in an awful place called Minnesota. It seems that Houston is no longer part of what I consider to be Texas.
This woman agrees with your assessment. Does not apply to all women — think Margaret Thatcher — but too far too many.
I would have liked to respond to Davis like this:
If you had your way, most children would not survive the womb, let alone receive an education.
Of course such a comment is not politically correct, therefore would just be fodder for the fire... What A Shame!
Responding to Davis, Abbott confidently responded, "There's actually another thing coming between me and settling that lawsuit.

Thatcher was indeed the exception to the rule...and she also had a team of good men surrounding her.
Woman seem to go in the opposite direction once they have a position....they go from “victim” to nobody’s going to tell them what to do or say..... They are as abusive of their power as men.. perhaps moreso because they need to overcome this tendency...if they don’t we see the likes of Davis, Clinton, and Wasserman.
(Note: and I’m a woman!)

LOL!
Feminists complain we should never use the word “bossy” to describe a woman. In general usage, bossy is used to describe somebody who usurps power she does not legitimately have.
