@WendyDavisTexas Good Lord. Your flailing desperation is hideous.

The Wendy Davis campaign sank to a new low with the recent wheelchair ad, and so did her poll numbers.
Can Team Davis sink even lower? They’re trying:
Greg Abbott won't say whether he'd defend an interracial marriage ban—troubling but not surprising from someone who defends a "poll tax."

First of all, there is of course the straw man nature of Davis’ scare tactic:

It's not. It's a lie. RT @Stephhxo12 @WendyDavisTexas an interracial marriage ban!?? What?? Are we in the 1940s? How is this even a concept?
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) October 20, 2014
And if that wasn’t enough to disintegrate whatever point Davis was trying to make, there’s this little detail:
Let's see. This is his wife, who is of Mexican descent. http://t.co/ZNO2faArLU Maybe it was a dumb question? @WendyDavisTexas

@WendyDavisTexas So what you are saying is Greg Abbott hates minorities! You need to tell his poor wife!

@WendyDavisTexas maybe you can interview Governor Abbott on your new MSNBC show, or perhaps ask his Latina wife.

@WendyDavisTexas Greg Abbott is IN an interracial marriage.
Or is Wendy Davis too stupid to realize this fact?

Ooooh .. Sorry, thanks for playing!https://t.co/bNJI2stLim https://t.co/y0YGzymF4N@WendyDavisTexas

The theme is familiar:
@seanmdav @Heminator "Greg Abbott married a Mexican. Now he doesn't want to let anyone else marry Mexicans…"
— jerylbier (@JerylBier) October 20, 2014
Maybe Davis is trying to say “a vote for Greg Abbott is a vote for him leaving his wife” or something.

@WendyDavisTexas Enjoy your last gasp of relevance before slipping into obscurity.

Apologize to America, @WendyDavisTexas, and withdraw from the campaign. You are a blight.
— Area Man (@lheal) October 20, 2014
@seanmdav This has all been an audition by Wendy Davis for an MSNBC slot. No other explanation.
— Grant Dunwoody (@tremlo3) October 20, 2014
@seanmdav @Heminator The Davis camp doesn't seem content to just lose. They appear to want go down in flames
— Clint Brooks (@clintbrooks) October 20, 2014
At Davis HQ, this might switch on some lightbulbs over a few heads:
@seanmdav What's next for #WendyDavis? Claiming her opponent puts kittens in a pillowcase and pummels baby rabbits with it.
— HeisenbergHattie (@HBergHattie) October 20, 2014
Wait for it…
Update:
Davis continues to dig:
In his @mySA ed board interview, @GregAbbott_TX refused to say whether he'd defend an interracial marriage ban. pic.twitter.com/kdIX3HkAw5
