Democrats can’t accuse her of refusing to throw a punch.

He’ll have a hard time explaining his position, and I’m sure most women wont buy it.

I was actually there this week and saw this ad. It was very effective.

Nothing wrong with discussing the record. Abbott’s record is no different than Ted Cruz in persecuting people and defending corporations. These type of ads are meant for impartial voters, the crucial part of the Texas Stew that will eventually turn the state blue.

After this Abbott can deal with his love affair with chemical storage companies. Particularly the watered down regulations he enacted after the fertilizer plant explosion. We must have the perfect storm, immigration and all the other ills, combined, to have a chance to win.

I hate the hypocrisy of the Texas republicans who say that they’re shutting down access to abortion because they’re concerned about the health of women. Texas is now encouraging women in West Texas to go to a clinic in New Mexico if its last abortion clinic closes. That’s only a 550-mile one way trip and eight hours. Abbott is leading the fight to close the last clinic, but Texas women are showing up in Austin and protesting loudly during this lawsuit to keep its one and only clinic open. Davis will have plenty to grab onto in this fight against Abbott.

“…Abbott sided with the company against the victim…”

Abbott is weak on security.

Most normal women. This is Texas. You can get a lot of people lined up I think about about the freeloading woman who probably asked for it letting some creep into her home and then trying to blame one of the job creators for her joy ride. This is gu’mint intrusion into the private sector and next stop is communism. Plus they asked their husbands that’s what the good ole boys told 'em.

How many, I don’ t know. Many are not reachable at all, of course, they just check the R box.

I think it’s a tough, fair ad, though - can reach persuadeables and motivate Dem-leaning. It ain’t easy in Lone Star State, but has potential to be genuinely effective. Among how many is the question.

So was Abbot a lawyer representing the company in this case?

Pretty powerful stuff.

No. He was one of the justices on the court.

Republicans have a real problem with that whole rape thing. They insist that it be a “legitimate” rape, you know, where the woman doesn’t ask for it or enjoy it. Republican men are misanthropes of the misogynistic variety. How can any woman vote Republican?

Well we know she’s hard to knock off her feet, too!

now that’s a campaign ad.Straight facts that can’t be denied by your opponent .
