Texas Governor Greg Abbott did not receive a warm welcome from
Trump rally goers during his recent rally in Conroe Texas.
In fact, why don't we take a look at the video?
Let's review and see just how unwarranted that welcome really was.
>> That governor [INAUDIBLE] Texas.
[APPLAUSE]
[NOISE]
>> Abbott Rhino.
>> My God, do we agree with Magga on Texas Governor Greg Abbott?
No, they don't believe that he is right wing enough,
which gives you a sense of where right wing voters really stand in this country.
Of course Texas Governor Greg Abbott is extremely right wing,
he's worried about a primary challenge from Allen West who is the state's GOP.
Well the former chair of the state's GOP and
he has other right wingers running against him.
So as a result he had pushed for more right wing policies including
loosening the already incredibly relaxed gun laws in Texas.
But apparently it's still not playing out the way that he was hoping for
with Trump's based and trump to be sure, has endorsed Abbott for reelection.
He endorsed Abbott just last June praising him as a fighter and a great governor for
the incredible people of Texas.
Despite trump's support Abbott's opponents in the Republican primary have accused him
of not being sufficiently conservative, which again blows my mind.
Now in an effort to get the crowd on his side he just kept saying
complimentary things about Donald Trump, let's see if it worked.
>> Are you ready for Donald J trump?
[APPLAUSE] Donald J Trump
is ready for you.
Donald J trump loves the great state of Texas [NOISE] And
Texans love President Donald J trump [NOISE].
Yeah, he is getting ready to come out here and
he wants to see you show your support for our president Donald J Trump.
>> So keep it cool, don't talk about yourself, make sure you just talk about
Trump and how much Texas loves him, [LAUGH] But that was amazing.
>> Yeah, it's, amazing in many ways,
I mean the guy's just a little bit right of Attila the hun, right?
And they're like boo Rhino Rhino, not good enough, okay,
how many people have you killed today?
Not enough, not enough, right, so I can't believe they're booing him because
he's too far left, that's the most insane thing I've ever heard.
There's not one thing where he is like within miles of left wing,
within miles of the center, there's nothing that's vicious enough for
republican voters, and then that.
>> They outlawed abortion effectively, they outlawed abortion,
loosened gun laws even further like there are no gun laws in Texas.
Let's just keep it real, like what more do they want?
>> I literally don't know.
>> I don't know, I really,
I was trying to understand like there's gotta be something.
>> I mean look on COVID, he's been awful, but
then their number one complaint is he hasn't been as bad as the Santos.
And that's why I'm saying like how many people did you kill today?
Not enough, right?
The deregulation that led to the to people losing their heat during the ice storm,
got people killed, but hey, corporate profits yes, right?
And it's just like, how many more people can he kill on behalf of corporations and
weirdo lunatic conspiracy theory.
>> I mean his lips have been permanently affixed on Donald Trump's ass.
>> You mean Donald J Trump?
>> Donald J Trump's ass, yes.
>> And when he gets booed and he goes to to that talking point about just repeating
Trump's name over and over again, it was wonderfully pathetic.
So we got at least got that out of it, now remember everybody,
don't focus on me, I am with Donald J Trump.
I swear to God I am, I swear to God, I'm as stupid and crazy as he is, I swear it.
Donald J trump is, my God, my God, I will live inside his office if you re elect me,
and they're like, okay.
>> But yeah, but even that got a tepid response, which is fascinating, right?
Like they're,
they're definitely convinced that Abbott just isn't right wing enough for them.
But there's also some other stuff transpiring in regard to Donald Trump that
I wanted to talk about briefly.
And it has to do with how he is performing among the republican electorate in
these various polls that have been coming out recently.
So for instance, there's a political poll that came out January this month and
it found that 42% have a favorable view of Trump versus 55% who view him unfavorably.
Now another Washington Post University of Maryland survey found that yeah,
similar decline in his approval ratings, right?
So on the eve of the 2020 election, for instance, 54% of republicans and
independents who lean Republican said they considered themselves more a supporter
of Trump than of the Republican Party.
Now, today,
56% of republicans say they are more supporters of the party than of Trump.
And as we've been talking about on the show in recent weeks,
there's been this shift among the republican electorate toward Ron DeSantis.
Even Trump, supporters say, yeah, well we like Trump, we support Trump, but
we want him to to run against someone like DeSantis in the republican primaries.
And that's why Trump is kind of salty towards DeSantis and
has been throwing some jabs at him.
>> So there's another poll that just came out, I don't know if it's an outlier,
but it's trending in the same direction as all the other polls.
And their popularity of Trump is down to 28% and
his unfavorable numbers are all the way up at 67%.
Now, that doesn't mean he's losing democrats and independents more.
It probably means he's losing republicans because he had already lost almost all
the democrats.
So I'm encouraged by that because I think he's the most fascist of them all,
and I think that if he wins, he'll end democracy.
So I'm happy to have like anyone but him,
not because they'd be better than him in policy.
But just because there's a smaller percentage chance they'll literally
destroy the country.
Now having said that, it's possible that he's losing favorability because
he's no longer the dumbest in the party.
Because he said a couple of good things about the vaccine and
they might be getting mad at him.
And and Abbott is terrible on all that stuff, but he's not as bad as DeSantis.
That's why DeSantis is picking up popularity because he's like, no,
I'll out dumb them all.
And for Republican voters, they're like Atta Boy,
don't listen to any scientists or any doctors or anyone that has any facts.
And so they might be losing a little bit of hope in Trump because he wants to
listen to a doctor, how dare he?
