22. Greg is not that smart and he is mean

Greg was a toxic tort defense attorney. The attorneys in that section were not very smart but they were mean and saw nothing wrong with cheating widows and orphans out of money. Greg has a very nasty streak which is already showing in the race. Greg sees nothing wrong with encouraging his supporters to be as nasty as possible to Senator Davis and that nastiness should help generate a gender gap.

Virginia is a good model in that the VA AG is also a nasty person and he managed to generate a 24 point gender gap in Virginia. Wendy Davis is far more likable compared to the Democratic candidate in Virginia and I am hopeful that we will see a good size gender gap in Texas due to Greg's inherent lack of charm
