You know you must be an abominable person if you have lower approval ratings than a Texas Republican...

Greg Abbott because his horridness doesn't actually affect me.

Tony provides more amusement, but is far more dangerous.

Also you kind of expect nuts to be elected in Texas. It's Texas. Less expected in (non-Queensland) Australia.

Not sure, since I don't know much about Tony.

I have many relatives in Texas, so I'm watching Greg Abbott closely, although I don't like him much.  I wasn't so much happy that he won this year as I was that Wendy Davis lost.  Aside from the Bushes and Mike Williams, Texas Republicans are a pretty horrendous bunch.

The Governor of Texas is a relatively low-power executive position. Most of Texas is governed by various boards and commissions and elected officials independent of the Governor's Office.

By contrast, the Prime Minister in a Westminster System is a somewhat frightfully powerful figure, though usually not to the extent found in Canada

One affects me, the other does.

Voted Greg.

How did we get to a place where the incoming Governor of Texas may be somewhat to the left of the current Prime Minister of Australia?
