There will be no live in-studio audience for Friday's debate between @GregAbbott_TX and @BetoORourke. Abbott would only agree to face Beto with no audience in the room. Why? Is @GregAbbott_TX afraid to face fellow Texans?

The shooting at the Texas State Fair of Texas tonight reminds us that gun violence is way too prevalent in our society. Allowing a license to carry individual to carry a gun into a crowded event, like the State Fair, is not a good policy and does not make the event safer.

So them “Patriots” are boycotting Chick-Fil-A and going to Raising Cane's, which has actually always been pro-LGBTQ.

This was the audience for tonight’s debate between Beto O’Rourke and Greg Abbott.
You’re not seeing things—this theater, which seats 1,000 people, was empty.
Because Greg Abbott REFUSED to debate if he had to face voters in person.

Greg Abbott is the reverse Robin Hood — he steals from the poor to give to the rich.
His voucher scam will bankrupt public schools to help rich parents pay for private school.
Vouchers are welfare for the wealthy
