12. Another fuck-you to Texans from Gov. Abbott.

Just running late shows a lack of respect for others' time. But not even bothering to show up means you don't think the people are worth your time and attention at all.

I'm sure Greg Abbott just thought he was demonstrating that it was only Beto who was not worth his time. But he just gave that entire community of voters the middle finger.

Is it arrogance ("I've got this in the bag" )? Is it playing to his base ("See, I don't even give the Democrat the time of day" )? Being a prick just seems to be part of the Republican playbook anymore.

Texas needs Beto, and I hope enough of them realize that truth and make it happen.
