Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) predicted Monday that his state would go for presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump because voting “none of the above” wasn’t an option.
“As we work our pathway forward, we do have a choice. It’s not like ‘none of the above’ is a potential option. And we see the devastation that Hillary Clinton would wreck upon the United States of America. She would be far worse than just an extension of the Obama agenda,” Abbott said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” arguing that Clinton would make illegal immigration over the southern border “even worse.”
Abbott said he’s made it “clear from the very beginning” that he would support the Republican Party’s nominee, but didn’t mention Trump by name.
After the “Morning Joe” hosts noted that omission, Abbott responded, “Donald Trump is going to win the state of Texas.”
Greg, the word is “wreak”, not “wreck”. Reminds me of Perry. Are all Texas politicians illiterate (or, was this yet just another typo in TPM’s articles which are never proof read)?
Since Barbara Jordan? Pretty much, yeah.
Well Greg, I live just south of Austin and I’m voting for Hillary. Oh, and my butler says Trump should be killed by the military on day one, but I don’t agree with him. And I would support one of the Castro brothers as VP. They’re Hispanic, you know.
“We have to choose Someone!”
Of course Ni(CLANG!) and Women don’t count as “Someone” in his Texas.
Texas is the Bermuda Triangle of dysfunction, bigotry, and right wing nut jobs.
