    I haven't had time to look too hard into the other candidates, but the fact they're endorsing him may indicate what he's running against.

      Honestly, I think Davis is the lesser of those two evils by a longshot.

          Dead serious. If it comes down to those two I will not be voting for Abbott. What don't you like about Davis?

              She's a liberal democrat? Seriously? You think she's more likely to represent you?

                That's a broad stroke.

                While on the Fort Worth City Council, Davis supported gun restrictions, including for gun shows at city facilities.[58]

                In 2011, she voted against a bill that authorizes concealed handgun permit holders to carry concealed handguns while on the campus of an institution of higher education.[59]

                In 2013, she voted for a bill establishing certain tax exemptions for firearms manufacturers, along with a bill that authorizes certain university students to transport a licensed handgun or ammunition in a locked motor vehicle on a college or university campus.[59]

                On February 6, 2014, she expressed support for a proposed open carry gun law in Texas, which is currently banned under Texas state law. The state senator from Fort Worth said such a law should allow private property owners to determine whether weapons could be openly carried on their property. She also said background checks and training requirements would "help ensure that only mentally stable, law-abiding citizens may carry, whether concealed or open."[60] She later said that she believes municipalities should be able to decide whether the proposed open carry and existing concealed carry laws should be used in their limits.[61]

                    More likely than Abbott? Yes.

                      Just did some more reading on Davis. Yeah, she doesn't have a great track record either. Wouldn't it be awesome if we had a candidate that was a Libertarian that had a chance?

                        I'll be voting for stovall. Frankly, anybody but Cornyn. Hell, maybe even a dem. At least we won't be surprised when we find the knife in our back.

                          I don't like Abbott, but Davis is a disaster. Gratefully, the TX governor isn't as strong as the position in other states.

                            Same way I feel.

                              On Davis i just have a real problem with voting for someone who can't get off the starting line of the race without lying.

                                Any liberal running in Texas is going to try and portray themselves as a conservative. It's the only way to get elected in this state. Once they have the office, they're just going to toe the liberal line.
