Are Republicans Paying a Price for Border State Governors?

There's never been a moment when this stunt, which is all it's been from the very beginning, we've now seen it repeatedly doing it now for months in different forms. I don't know why Greg Abbott thinks that this is actually something that's going to bolster his political fortunes. It makes no sense. Who's cheering this on? I don't even see the most hardcore of red meat Trump supporters watching the state media enjoying this because it's Christmas Eve.
