I vividly recall where I was when I hatched the idea for the open carry position I ended up taking. It was a late night in February 2014, and I was bone-tired after finishing fundraising in Colorado. Standing in the noisy, crowded TSA screening area of the Denver airport, I received a call from my strategy team back home. My opponent, [back home,] the current Gov. Greg Abbott, had staked out his position in support of the open carry of handguns and I was being asked to stake mine out as well.
So she was up in Denver, soliciting money from the same people who think that AR15s should be illegal, who wanted to limit magazine capacity (and did), and who are so stupid that that they think an AR would
permanently run out of ammo when its magazines were empty, and who support municipal passage of laws ignoring state preemption of gun laws, etc., etc., etc.
In other words, she went
out of state to try and defeat the will of Texas voters.
She's a political whore...... which more or less matches the way she has conducted the rest of her life.
Hence the addition of "the way she has conducted the rest of her life."
