1. Beginning to wonder

if Abbott, under pressure by the tea-party crazies in our state, also thought it was too soon but declared the state opened figuring most restaurant owners wouldn't do it. I'm probably giving him way too much credit.

2. He's a Trump grifter. Like the Florida AG, he accepted a campaign donation to his coffers when

He began his governor run to not sue Trump U. on behalf of Texans. His top investigator told him the state had a case against Trump, but Abbott took Trump money instead.
