Nope. But I'll dang sure vote for West in the primary. Abbott's 2020 foray into big government tyrant territory put him on my **** list for good.Originally posted by tvc184 View PostComment

So you would split the votes for Abbot and West and turn us over to Beto? That’s what is lining up!Originally posted by Shane View Post
I understand what your saying but this could Easily happen!Comment

Beto isn't running in the Republican primary. What you're talking about is impossible. You understand each party has a primary election in the spring to select their party's candidate that will run as the ONLY candidate from that party in the general election in the fall, right?Originally posted by Bucknaked View PostComment

That cannot happen. West is running against Abbott in the Republican primary and the winner takes on Beto or maybe someone else if another Democrat enters.Originally posted by Bucknaked View PostComment

I don’t understand Abbot letting this immigrant crap get so out of hand. It is going to bite him in the butt. I would vote for West.
If I was Abbot why not get in a confrontation with the Feds over the border. Heck it Texas border too. it would draw attention if nothing else!Comment

I am putting my vote towards West in the Primary. He became the Battalion Commander of my former Unit shortly after I ETS'd from 2/20 FA 4th Infantry Division. Here is why he will get my vote.
Old Army ruled.
The culminating assignment of West's career was his assumption of command of the 2d Battalion, 20th Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Infantry Division on June 6, 2002. During the Iraq War in 2003, he deployed with his battalion until he was relieved of command by the Army following a use-of-force incident concerning an Iraqi policeman. At his Article 32 hearing, West admitted violating Army rules by holding the policeman captive, punching him in the face, conducting a mock execution and by dry-firing an unloaded pistol held against the Iraqi's head. West was subsequently allowed to retire in 2004.[22]
Iraq torture incident
While serving in Taji, Iraq, West received information from an intelligence specialist about a plot to ambush his unit. The alleged plot involved Yahya Jhodri Hamoodi, an Iraqi police officer. West had his men detain Hamoodi.[24] Soldiers testified that in the process of detaining Hamoodi, he appeared to reach for his weapon and needed to be subdued.[24] Hamoodi was beaten by four soldiers from the 2/20th Field Artillery Battalion on the head and body.[25] West then fired his pistol near Hamoodi's head,[24] after which Hamoodi provided West with names and information, which Hamoodi later described as "meaningless information induced by fear and pain".[24] At least one of these suspects was arrested as a result, but no plans for attacks or weapons were found.[24] West said "At the time I had to base my decision on the intelligence I received. It's possible that I was wrong about Mr. Hamoodi."[24]
West was charged with violating Articles 128 (assault) and 134 (general article) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. During a hearing held as part of an Article 32 investigation in November 2003, West stated, "I know the method I used was not right, but I wanted to take care of my soldiers."[25] The charges were ultimately referred to an Article 15 proceeding rather than court-martial, at which West was fined $5,000.[24] West accepted the judgment and retired with full benefits as a lieutenant colonel in the summer of 2004. Asked if he would act differently under similar circumstances, West testified, "If it's about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can."[25] At his hearing, West said that there were no ambushes against American forces in Taji until he was relieved of his leadership post a month later.[25] After West's retirement he received more than 2,000 letters and e-mails offering him moral support.[24] A letter supporting West was signed by 95 members of the U.S. Congress and sent to the Secretary of the Army.[24]Comment

I think West might be more confrontational to the feds than Abbott has been.
Then again there is a fine line of what the governor can do and not have the feds or Biden and Company invoke title 10 and federalize all the Texas border security. We know how that would end.
Texas Military Department is different than any other state and Texas has it's own State Guard separate from the National Guard and commanded by Texas Adjutant General, Major General Tracy Norris. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjutant_General_of_Texas
Pretty sure General Norris is a conservative.
Anybody interested in joining the Texas State Guard contact DreamRoper here on TBH. She is the top recruiter for the entire state and 1st Brigade for the TXSG. SSG Scarborough will be receiving her award and NCO sword next month in Austin.Comment
