CW39 Houston | Texas Governor's Debate Sept. 30th 2022 (FULL VIDEO)

[@Nicole-1990]

I don’t see how Texas’s electricity is one of the lowest in the country but most of our bills have doubled if not tripled since last year.

[@Laura-md7mi]

So has your population due to immigration. The grid can only do so much. Your bill increases bc supply and demand.

I agree with you. I'm not in favor of either candidate, but Abbott really hasn't done a great job overall with Texas.

[@charlesmoore4851]

It's absolutely refreshing to hear you say that. We need to get away from supporting parties. Nothing Abbott said I believe. And our poor women. We are all confused on how to help them. I paid over 200.00 per month in my electric bill. So Abbott lied about that as well.

I truly think the moderators did a great job of keeping both candidates in check and did a VERY good job of "clarification" of statements. They didn't let the candidates sidestep answering questions very often. The moderators basically said, "You didn't answer the question" by repeating the question to each candidate. Good on them.

[@therrydicule]

@@dailyvictory6656 Nope. Abbott lied. There is no open borders policy in place: Proof? Do border agents exist? If they were truth open borders, why would the USA needs a single border agents? The governor of Texas is the head of the executive and legislative branch of the state government and is the commander in chief of the Texas Military. In other words, he could have tried to push for a few laws to bring some bureaucrats to help the paper works of these migrants, have assistance to border security that cooperate with the federal, have better policing against fantanyl, have drug testing site for drug addicts which act as a point of entry towards rehabs. Instead, he send buses around in a completely counter productive manner, and do different things to make life harder for federal agents. Abbott lied like a dog.

[@ZBGregory]

Abbott spent A LOT of time pointing out the issues in Texas and putting that on Biden, but those are still issues in HIS state and that reflects poorly on Abbott. He didn’t mention some of the best attributes about Texas until his closing statement and that's the worst time to make that argument. He needed to point out the great things about Texas so he could prove that he was a good Governor. Abbott basically didn’t make his case for why he was a successful Governor.

I agree- it’s crazy that he didn’t bring up the fact that since early 2020 he has been dealing with Covid restrictions and protocols. He should have boasted his record of re opening Texas early when Beto was all over media saying Abbot was wrong for doing so. This saved countless businesses and gave people their lives back, and The studies are clear that lockdowns were detrimental to mental health.

He is a bleeding politician

[@MarioMartinez-gb8wi]

Want to vote democratic move to California 😂

[@jaredcommercialacct8813]

Beto has a character and trust problem. When faced with a situation where he was involved in an accident he tried to flee instead of checking to see if he had hurt anyone. I was involved in an accident under similar circumstances and knowing I would be arrested but could easily get away, I stopped wanting to make sure the person that I hit was ok. I grew up in El Paso and know his family and their political history that is ripe with corruption. He continues to flip on issues trying to get traction by sensationalizing every possible political issue and build fear. I'm not saying that Abbott is great, I'm not even a republican. I'm simply saying that Abbott does what he says and has led this state through historic gains in the Texas economy. I don't believe that Beto or Abbott will get the real source of the shootings (and other possible mass killings) under control by addressing the real issue. There are many ways a person could commit this crime. The school I went to as a child had dozens and dozens of bomb threats and several attempted bombings by a mentally troubled disgruntled ex employee. There was an attempted mass killing here in Texas on our university campus with a knife. The SXSW massacre was directed by a mentally disturbed man in a truck. Addressing mental health services, background checks, and preventative care for those who are identified as risk factors would be something that could begin to change these outcomes. There's nothing wrong with ensuring that we have the right background checks but that only addresses guns. Let's addresses the source of the problem. That's the only way to start moving that needle toward a positive outcome in preventing these attacks.

[@california5877]

Abbott is a person that don't care of Texas people. I pray Beto wins

[@tanyasteers4802]

There's a serious problem when a rapist pays a 10,000 dollar fine and a woman who gets a abortion gets life in prison!

[@alexplayz_2184]

Get your facts right. Slogans aren’t facts

[@BevoGuy]

Rape is not controversial enough for Republican leaders to concern themselves with. They know that it doesn’t move the needle enough with their voting base. Unless it’s “illegal aliens” doing the raping. Trump used that line very effectively in one of his very first public statements when running for President.

[@angelmoore2453]

I'd agree with you if that was true, but I haven't heard of one woman in this country that got life for having an abortion. I agree that you have a right to an abortion, but not up until the moment of birth which is what leftists have pushed for. It shouldn't take you months to decide whether to terminate or not, I agree with a woman's right to choose, but not without limits.

[@jasonstein455]

So Plan B has to be taken immediately, what about the child that does not report a rape until days later? What’s your answer to her little body?

[@altjaden]

“Democratic led cities are more capable of handling these immigration issues than republican ones.” Huh. Thanks Abbott. Say less.

[@mikehunt3222]

He didn’t say democratic led cities, he said the larger cities that said they were sanctuary cities. If they didn’t want illegals then they shouldn’t have labeled themselves as sanctuary cities.

[@BevoGuy]

I think what he meant by that was that Democratic led cities are more comfortable around brown people.

[@Conejo147]

So then you shouldn't have a problem with them being shipped over to any democrat city right?

[@incogspectator3042]

Lmao! The democrats are the ones who invited them in the first place. "Thanks Abbot. Say less." Meanwhile democratic led cities the party that caused the border issue complains to no end about having to recieve the illegal immigrants. You talking one would almost think that the democrats are receiving them gracefully when in truth you complain about the consequences of your actions and then try to turn the issues your party caused on republicans as though they're the ones who announced to the world that the U.S. has an uninforced southern border. That was Biden and his administration by the way lol. So like the democrats to start a problem and then try to act like the cure to the problem they initially started.

Why are they still doing debates where the answers are cut off. Let them get the full answer before cutting them off, people want to know.

[@ghostfenrir1892]

You have to have a cut off, it forces the candidates to try to be concise with their answers, while allowing more time for different questions. If you just let a candidate speak until they are done, one candidate could talk for 20 to 30 minutes from one question, meandering around and talking in circles in a very unproductive way designed to confuse people or drown out certain information. With that being said, I do think there should be more time to answer such complicated questions that can not be addressed in any kind of real way in a minute or less.

Considering 90% of Texas is on a monopolized grid made up of private investors , those investors own 90% of Texas. The government has absolutely no power over these grids.

That is why the city of Austin is putting very little info about Elons current move, to secure a permit that allows him to dump 140,000 gallons of treated waste water per day into the Colorado River. Before this the city of Austin pushed to ban the homeless with an ulterior motive to put 620 acres of parklands along the Colorado River up for bids. Of course Elon the richest snake in the world bought these lands to destroy our WaWa. Meanwhile the rest of America is more entertained by the notion of having free speech in Twitter.

Listening to Abbott lie and twist stories makes me realize he is not only an ineffective leader, he's not a good person.

[@joyedwards3423]

@@MAGAISKLAN The sad part is, if Beto does win as things go flying downhill, you will blame everyone and everything but him. I have to hope that most Texans have common sense at this point. It is unreal to me that people will believe that a woman taking a Plan B pill is worse than her having a surgical procedure that actually has risks to her health and life. Yes abortion is surgery and it has risks. It’s not about health. It makes me sick that anyone could support abortion knowing that the founder of Planned Parenthood and the founder of abortion was Margaret Sanger, one of the worlds worst eugenicists and part of the KKK. That anybody could promote abortion knowing that there are people making billions of dollars off the sale of the baby pieces 🤮. It was never about choice and I’m amazed at how many stupid people will fall for it. I really wish Abbott would’ve thought about the fact that the Plan B pill costs about 1/16 of the cost of an abortion. I know he wasn’t thinking about it but that was the most ridiculous argument Beto could’ve made 🙄. But in general the rape and incest argument is a terrible argument to begin with since it’s less than 1% of abortions. In fact, clinics couldn’t even stay in business if they relied only on true rape and incest cases 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s sad that people just refuse to teach their children and raise them right. There are a lot of choices made up to that choice. Specifically I taught my daughter about protection not only against pregnancy but also against diseases. There is still one that can kill you and even if you live, the medicine is extremely expensive for people with HIV. How embarrassing would it be to have gonorrhea or chlamydia. Why not just teach our kids responsibility and how to protect themselves? It is about Democrat versus Republican. It is very easy to see who runs things better. Like I said Abbott is not perfect but he is far better!! They have shown Beto contradicting himself on video in this very debate and there are still people who are willing to defend him. 🤦🏼‍♀️ The Democrat party began as the party of oppression. They fought for slavery and against desegregation. They are still the party of oppression, they just found better tactics and a whole lot of stupid people to follow right along. You have people like me and even recently I saw Joe Rogan who are hard-core libertarians that used to vote for some Democrats wouldn’t vote for one for any amount of money. They continually screw things up. It’s so blatant and easy to see. The crime is up over the last couple years because of the border being open. Everything Abbott is saying is true. The only people who don’t believe it are brainwashed. That’s OK, democrats have lost most of their independent voters with horrible decisions. Most of the independent voters, such as myself, we look at the facts and what we can prove. What we can prove show Democrats do not run things well. I doubt you bothered to look up any public records or actually verified anything I said before you added your comment. I would recommend it but that’s your choice. Like I said just hoping that Texans have common sense. Otherwise, another one bites the dust.

The flip flop argument really doesn’t hold weight anymore. Abbott was a Moderate before he became Governor and the moderators pointed that out specifically.
