Said she supports Abbott on the abortion issue. I get it, Democrats take a risk whenever the "A" word is mentioned, but the voter is failing to look at the big picture. She is a Democrat and that is why I went to her house. I was there to talk about down ballot races. I have not seen any negative TV ads from Republicans targeting Democrats on abortion. However, Beto has ads targeting Republicans on abortion. We will see how this plays out. Democrats can do things to increase access to reproductive services without advertising it. Maybe Beto, like his AR15 comment, should have just kept quiet about it.
Down ballot undervotes (failing to vote in local races) are a big issue with Democrats especially since Texas got rid of straight ticket voting. I was kinda dumb founded, so I didn't say anything. This is a response I might expect from and independent voter and not a Democrat. I wish I would have said, "Look at the big picture", but I just did not expect that response from this particular individual. I'm a volunteer, precinct chair, not a paid campaign worker. I live in the neighborhood where I volunteer, so I am purposely not antagonistic. She said that her faith comes first. Well, I'll pray that she sees the light and looks at the big picture before casting her ballot.
Maybe she watches Spanish language TV. I don't watch it. Her surname is Anglo, but her maiden name is Hispanic. Generally people married to Anglos don't watch much Spanish language TV, but some people are into novellas. Maybe Abbott has ads attacking Democrats as "baby killers" in Spanish..who knows??
