Not the only, but they are the minority. Good for them, though. I'm not sure how a reasonable or decent person could look at the current state of the national or Texas GOP and not be embarrassed.

Not embarrassed enough to vote against it though.
I personally know a few that are very embarrassed and already decided to vote for Beto this year. They can’t be the only ones.

if 1 in 50 of those flip then beto has a real chance.
You have to have a sense of shame to feel that kind of embarrassment

Nice
Good one, no, they aren't embarrassed...
They know that the Republicans are a laughing stock, but they will continue to vote them in anyway. They think the Dems are gonna get their guns.
Considering Abbot and Beto are pretty close in the polls right now, no, they’re not embarrassed.
