My Take
I find Greg Abbott interesting less for any single policy than for the methodical architecture of his career: Texas Supreme Court justice, then the state's long-serving attorney general, then governor since 2015. That is a lawyer's ladder, climbed one deliberate rung at a time, and it explains his governing style, which is procedural, litigious, and relentless. Whatever you think of his politics, and people think very strong things, his durability at the top of America's biggest red state is not an accident. He understands institutional power the way an engineer understands load-bearing walls. I watch him as a case study in how legal training shapes executive instinct.
