'We've Got To Win': Beto Blasts Abbott's Inaction On Guns - The Last Word - MSNBC

6. I know what the campaign says.

I've been stuffing the envelopes and canvassing for some time. I've been in his camp since his first run for Senate.

Yes, he mentions other stuff, but he's still known for his gun stance. He already has all the votes that will get him in Texas. A good target would be campaigning on Ercot and the way a few oil company execs control it because Abbott supports them. How about telling how Abbot spent $12 million to ship immigrants north. Now those states get the support money and the jobs that those immigrants represent. How about Abbott's waste of money sending the National Guard to the border to lose time with their families so that Abbott could get a photo op.

He polls well with liberals already. He needs to hit issues that moderates care about - money and security. Half the people I talk with just want to lump him in with bit spending. I point out that the money Abbott saves with his support for Big Oil and Insurance only goes to a few billionaires.

Something does need to be done, but he has to be elected first.
