True.

But social media caught on and gave Obama a big upset win against Clinton that she didn't see coming. This might be gathering in strength now, but it is coming from way back in the field.

People won't vote for more of the same so Clinton has her work cut out for her.

But that's how it stands right now. But things could change. So far there are some parallels between Trump and Abbott, but only superficial ones.

They speak very simplistically and use catch phrases instead of proper policy and analysis. If pressed on detail, Trump just deflects. Abbott did the same.
