25. Oh, yeas a nice defeatist attitude

Texas, you just wait, maybe the next election we can help you out.

It takes a lot of money to run here. They're saying Greg Abbot will have $40M. That's $40-MILLION to spend.

I'm so tired of being told to help out these dems in other states, and when Texas asks for help we're told "too bad, so sad, you are a republican state".

So, thanks, but no thanks. I will spend my money right here in Texas, trying to turn it blue instead of helping all those other dems that other people deem more worthy.
