New poll has Abbott up by 19 points

[Bear5131]

Tasteless mush hidden behind an efficient operation and excellent customer service. Basically human chow. Can't stand the place.

You lost your taste buds ?

I know a town in south Carolina that has two Chik-fil-A like 250 yards from each other and they are both packed non stop

 

[gbg3]

Beto’s such an empty suit.

Boy, he is that!

 

[ttwtt78640]

You weren’t the poster I was replying to, I do see that they must approve also, but curiously didn’t answer the post…….

I support not allowing government to ban a business based on their owner’s political views. How would you like it if a Texas city banned a business for flying a rainbow flag?

From half a country away, this is how I see Abbott and Chik-fil-a as well.

You do not have the power of a city government. You are free not to patronize a business for any reason at all.

 

[X Factor]

How in the actual flying screw can someone not like Chick Fil A? Seriously people.

Also seriously...how can Texans want Greg Abbot as their governor? How many different disasters have to happen in his state before people wake up and say, "Hey, he's doing a pretty terrible job"?

But, more importantly, Chick Fil A is incredible and I don't trust anyone who says otherwise.

I’m super glad we’ve had Abbot keeping Texas largely free from the most of the more ridiculous Covid responses.

Yep, but he is so animated as he rants and waves his arms around.

Yeah and all it cost you was the deaths of nearly 90,000 people.

Maybe one of these days he’ll become a real boy.

Same in North Richland Hills, Texas (about a mile apart).

And no, I haven't lost them. I just like to use them.

Okay, then what fast food restaurant would you say is good (relatively speaking)? What fast food do you place above Chick Fil A?

This is important stuff right here.

Based on what? Texas had a lower COVID-19 death rate than many heavily locked-down states with more vaccine and mask mandates.

U.S. COVID death rate by state 2023 | Statista

As of March 2023, Arizona had the highest COVID death rate in the U.S., with 455 deaths per 100,000 population. Hawaii had the lowest death rate.

If you are talking about chains and not independent street taco or burger joints or the like, Whataburger. By far. It's not even close. Hell, Taco Bell in a pinch.

Not much of a fast food guy, to be honest. But I would be hard pressed to think of one I don't like more than Chik-fil-A. Taco Bueno, maybe? They don't have food there. They have salt licks.

Total number of COVID deaths in the U.S. by state 2023 | Statista

As of March 2023, the state with the most COVID deaths had over 101,000 deaths.

Never had Whataburger, none around me. But I've heard good things.

Hell, Taco Bell in a pinch.

Don't get me wrong, I like Taco Bell, but if you think Chick Fil A is tasteless mush, I don't know how you can compliment Taco Bell.

Not much of a fast food guy, to be honest. But I would be hard pressed to think of one I don't like more than Chik-fil-A.

Well, certainly tastes are subjective, but I can objectively say you're wrong.

OK, but the implication that Texas’ COVID-19 policy yielded worse results than most states’ COVID-19 policy was nonsense.

 

[Crovax]

Texas was 30th in deaths per capita by COVID

 

[Bok Tuklo]

We were right at the national average per 100,000; 305 v 307.

Texas was 30th in deaths per capita by COVID

Most of the states ahead of Texas on your (ttwtt) chart used roughly the same Covid measures as Texas (not all, but most). It's not exactly a quality argument to say that other states who did roughly the same thing got roughly the same results. And the gap is widening.

Pro-Trump counties continue to suffer far higher COVID death tolls

As Americans commemorate a million deaths due to COVID-19, the partisan divide of who has gotten sick and died continues to grow, mostly due to disinformation about the vaccines.

I guess the screaming and interrupting like MTG didn't work out for Beto

Greg Abbott Surges in Texas Poll Over Beto O'Rourke After Uvalde Shooting

The Republican governor leads his Democratic challengers by a total of 19 percent among Texas voters.

www.newsweek.com

"Abbott now stands at 56 percent and O'Rourke enjoys just 37 percent support—a gap of 19 points."

Apparently taking peoples guns and closing down churches that don’t support the gay agenda was not a popular political position in Texas.

So what does that tell you?

Unfortunately you can't taste a thing

 

[Bok Tuklo]

So what does that tell you?

That Chik-fil-A has found a lucrative niche.

Unfortunately you can't taste a thing

No. Unfortunately for Chik-fil-A, I can.

 

[mrjurrs]

Abbott is exactly the corrupt Republican politician that a ton of Texans want.

By the way, does anyone know when the citizens of Odessa get to have water again?

Probably in time for the blackouts coming.

 

[Bok Tuklo]

Probably in time for the blackouts coming.

Ironically, we have been saved from rolling blackouts by wind and solar production.

 

[Rawley]

It’s been called the ’Save Chick-fil-A bill’ and is also more popular than Beto.

Social diseases seem more popular than Beto.

Whelp…. Texas will never change.
