Who's Afraid of Battleground Texas? The Texas GOP
At a lunchtime speech on this past Monday, Greg Abbott, the Attorney General of Texas, said that "the state of Texas is coming under a new assault, an assault far more dangerous than what the leader of North Korea threatened when he said he was going to add Austin, Texas, as one of the recipients of nuclear weapons." Well, that sounds frightening. What could that assault possibly be? "The threat that we're getting," Abbott said, "is the threat from the Obama administration and his political machine." Wait. What?
Abbott is referring to a new political activism group called Battleground Texas that was launched earlier this year by Jeremy Bird, a former national field director for Obama's presidential campaign. Bird and his colleagues at Battleground Texas want to slowly transform the state of Texas from red to purple to blue. They want to make it a battleground state alongside Florida, Ohio, and Virginia.
The Texas GOP seem very concerned about this possibility.
