  Party who ran the state for 27 years: "vote for us so we can fix what they broke!"

  Oh my!  Seems they can find poor management.. or is it Enron-esque manipulation? 
  Or simply another example of republicans not looking for corruption until it's in everyone's face? >
  
  Night and day…Governor Abbot points the finger somewhere else and denies any responsibility.  However Pete Buttigieg stands up and says we will hold the airline accountable. >
  
  Doesn't Abbott share blame? The only way infrastructure can get so bad in Texas is because the legislators let it get that bad. >
  
  Regulators not looking can also explain... GWBush was also a Texas governor.. and couldn't find poor loan origination until the banjs went bust in 2008.  Same process:  don't look. >
  
  Abbot is to blame for not doing anything about it sooner.. >
  
  To be fair, there was nothing he can do as he is a captive of the companies that put him in office. >
  
  But private enterprise! The free market! It's the perfect self-correcting system! People should just change providers!
  Seriously, Texas is the perfect example of why Republicans are full of shit. They've convinced people there is no such thing as public interest or common good, but everywhere they actually govern gives the lie.
