Pretty much what he does If Dan Patrick wasn’t Lt governor… we’d probably have weed… or we’d have what we had before they both got $$$ from Christians/alcohol lobby… Abbott literally has no spine… 30 years of republican leadership in Texas hasn’t changed much of anything

This is a rouse Abbott is famous for doing. During his election years (since 2015) he finds a sound bite that he believes will get him the rural votes. After he wins, he’ll reverse his position to favor his maga-tech & maga-energy donors. He tells them to donate now & wait until after the election.
