    I thought Abbott was a right-wing ghoul but this guy is doing his best to show him up. I wonder if more red states are going to follow Texas' lead in going extreme right. Scary stuff

      Yes, I'm old enough to remember the when the Tea Party emerged as the new even more unhinged element of the GOP, now they pretty much define the party "platform" (insofar as one exists). I can only imagine another lurch further to the right as the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Madison Cawthorn become the new voice of the party.
