An eye opening experience I had as a young Secret Service agent was the experiences I had as the “press agent.”
Newer agents on the president’s detail are assigned to babysit the press because that’s where you’ll do the least damage if you screw something up. I would sit with them all day on trips and fly back home on the “press plane” with them.
Some conclusions I drew from many hours and days of immersion with them:
1) Most of them are genuine imbeciles. Their conversations ranged from absurd to ignorant, to downright ridiculous.
2) They love to stand in judgment of others but, in the pre-cell phone camera era, they would engage in some of the worst debauchery you’ve ever seen on those planes. They’re really a disgusting group of people.
3) Most of them really despise Americans who actually work for a living. They consider themselves part of a community of knighted aristocrats and they look down on the people they’re supposed to cover.
I saw it. And you should treat these losers with the respect they deserve, meaning none at all.

In 2026, Abbott received 4,524,527 votes, while Democrat Gina Hinojosa received 5,230,789.
The four-year changes are staggering:
Republican votes increased by just 87,428 — 1.97%.
Democratic votes increased by 1,677,133 — 47.2%.
The Republican victory margin of 883,443 votes in 2022 became a Democratic victory margin of 706,262 votes in 2026.
That represents a remarkable 1,589,705-vote reversal in the winning margin.
