In addition to the points about Cruz, it's a fact that Abbott himself is a serial liar. Lying is running away from a fight. It's cowardly and dishonest. Lying is also theft -you are attempting to steal someone's belief. Politically, it is about gaining votes that the truth would prevent you from getting.

Abbott is un-Texan, un-American, and a coward to boot.
