As a Texan, I am grateful KXAN posted this. Also as a Texan, I am embarrassed by this debate format. No audience and 15 seconds to respond??? This debate is so important for MILLIONS of people and it gets chopped up for media consumption. While everyone involved in this debate was Texan, this is a poor representation of the meaning of Texas.

And it was a one-sided victory for one candidate. Beto O'Rourke wiped the floor with the current governor. People choosing Abbott over Beto are just gullible at this point. Beto is clearly more intelligent, more honest, more compassionate, and has that "it" factor in leadership. Beto is a person who acts on behalf of the majority. Abbott literally said he ignores the majority of Texans in favor of policies that only the far-right extremists love because his "principles". Abbott's abortion stance of "no exception for rape or incest" sounds like it is from Saudi Arabia, Iran, or North Korea.

@@jorgemartinez18 They aren’t important. How many people have you seen change their minds after a debate? This is all circus to hide the fact that Blue States INTENTIONALLY forced Blue Voters into Red States. It might already be too late for Texas. The problem with Republicans is their “we accept everybody” stance. You shouldn’t accept people who think differently than you about life. If Texas doesn’t start passing laws that are reprehensible to people that would change their way of life, Texas will end up like Oregon. Here’s how you do it. Take ANY law that you would never want in your state, and you pass the exact opposite. For example, if you want to keep your Second Amendment Rights intact, pass mandatory firearm ownership, training, and safety certification laws. Maybe even pass mandatory militia service laws. Treat your Rights as a responsibility rather than merely an entitlement. With those laws, who do you think won’t move there? Blue Voters that afraid of guns. CRT? Pass laws that ban it’s implementation within government agencies and companies that accept government contracts. You HAVE to treat your State/county/city/neighborhood/block like it’s your house. Live with people you agree with, and pass laws that repel unwanted citizens so that they cannot move in and vote your way of life out of existence. The NEXT thing you do is conduct missions into slums to find people who just want a crime free life for their families. Then, you bring them to your communities so they can see the truth of your lifestyle. If you don’t, then they will constantly vote Blue while breeding more into those broken systems to dilute your national votes. Leave Democrat areas full of violent criminals while you save and convert the victims in those areas.
