Who polled his family and friends?
Losing losing means he’s winning?
What does this mean? Someone from Texas please make a comment.
“… The poll was conducted for West’s campaign and differs starkly from other polls published late last year that appeared to show the Republican primary race was uncompetitive.…”
*************************************************
Poll “FOR WEST’S CAMPAIGN” — take with a boulder sized chunk of salt!
Wowzer!
I will not vote for him in the Primary.
No doubt about Abbott just isn’t standing up to West.
Really.
We have to beat Beto. I love West but not sure how he will do in the general.
“Really?”
Abbott will win by 30 points...not even close.
This is GREAT NEWS, Abbott should have been on top of the border long ago!!
Abbot is not great. Sometimes he actually is great. He is a nice person. He is pretty good in that office.
Anyone who cares to spend a moment considering the pressure in that job can see CCP, the border, POWWWER working to turn Texas blue. Abbott turned down bad voter machines. He has an ok Lt gov and a star as TX AG Ken Paxton.
That is in no way an excuse. Not at all. It is to say that the governor taking over that spot will have to be not a talker like Alan west or huffines but a proven do-er
West would have to prove he wouldn’t let the border deteriorate worse, that he would preserve elections, just to start. Powwwer wants them he next governor in tx to turn it blue.
Would need to know if he has a Dana Perino type infatuation GPB is a dud
Devil you know time.
Please stop. Reminds me of the 2010 Kentucky Senate GOP primary when Bill Johnson, who polled like 2% in all the real polls, kept putting out "internal polls" showing he was neck-and-neck with eventual winner Rand Paul.
Bill Johnson dropped out months before that primary took place.
Good! Totally worthless! Huffines would be miles better (sorry Allen West. Your too nice)
I know people voting to Allen West in the primary.
They would only vote for Abbott if he won the primary.
Many well known politicians have had that private moment of baffled astonishment as they think:
“I cannot believe I’m losing this Nitwit!”
I don’t believe it.
OH, wait a minute.
MSN.
BS.
Other than being a one-term Congressman West has no experience whatsoever to become a governor. He should run for Congress again or the senate. Trump has endorsed Abbott.
