Why did the statewide candidates in Texas refuse to speak?

Abbott, Paxton and "what's his name" did no speeches or debates. They did very little to meet the average voter. Sad that I cant even call the name of the Lt Governor
-Were they afraid of political violence?
-Were they arrogant regarding the need to connect?
-Were they trying to prevent missteps and bad PR?
-Did they underestimate the opponents?
-Are they part of the machine bent on socialism?

There is another political machine that is operating in Texas.

Dan Patrick is the Lt. Governor and he was easily the worst of all three. I mean that dude fricking SUUUUUUCKS was a caricature of what people think of when they think of an old right wing white dude.

I choose these as 1&2.

Nope. They don’t respect the voters of Texas enough.
Well, maybe now they do…

Because Paxton fricking sucked as a candidate, and Abbot thought it was in hand. I’ve held my tongue about Paxton because I wanted him to beat Freako, but he’s a notorious scumbag who was off galavanting in Europe with his mistress and bitching about Trump to donors when he should have been pressing hard in Texas. If Cornyn had been the candidate, Texas would almost certainly still be Republican. Even if Cornyn somehow couldn’t get over the finish line, he wouldn’t have sunk Abbot too

By that, you mean the people who built this country into the greatest in the history of the world?

And like Elon has spent vasts amounts of money before and lost. A million tv ads about trans people when there aren’t that many of them and when most people get their news from the internet anyway is just a waste of time

1.They believed they had more to lose from a poor debate performance than they stood to gain by a good one.
2. Certain candidates (Abbott) didn't it debate because they thought they would lose.

They just thought having an R by their name was good enough.
That simple

That's part of the problem these days: too many candidates hide and try to let the PAC money do their speaking for them

If they did like the Louisiana GOP, they hid and just sent spam texts and robo calls.

The founding fathers were like 20 years old
Nowadays if a young man says something the boomers call him racist

Fair enough, but they also held views more similar to the boomers.
20 year olds want socialism. They aren't going to be voting for the freedoms this country was founded on.

Refusing to debate or even speak in their own commercials.
They assumed voters are idiots and can’t think for themselves. Let’s run a bunch of offensive trans ads from Elon 24/7.

Uhh no
The genz founding fathers said no Indians and Mohammedans could vote
It’s only later in life when they became boomers that they imported foreigners to work their plantations

20-somethings aren't voting to do this. Maybe within the GOP they are, but the only people willing to stop things like this lost last night. If this is what 20-somethings want, last night guaranteed they will never get it.
