Quit making things up moron. Lie about other people, not me. Find one post where I said I thought Talarico will win. I’ve never said that. All I’ve said is this is a close race because Paxton is an awful candidate. And that’s not even remotely up for debate. Paxton will likely win because people will hold their nose and vote for what they consider the lesser of two evils.

Just about anything is worth getting rid of that ghoul Cornyn.

Although there is really no reason Paxton should not win.

Talarico offers nothing but leftist misery.

Losing the Senate is worth it? You sure?

Scale of candidates who agree with you

90%>70%>10%

meaning Paxton gives you everything you want but might lose, Cornyn is only a 70 percenter but he walks in and is still far better than the Dem who is going to give you 10%. And if you lose the Senate, it's even worse.

She was the one who divorced him citing “biblical grounds”. That is not exactly a win here.

Rhetorical question. Don’t admit that here.

I'll be that guy and say yes.

A bit of pain to get what we ultimately want is A-OK by me. We needed to rid the party of the establishment clowns decades ago. Only now that a boisterous President comes into office it's mission critical. Where were these loudmouths when Barry was in office?

Many in the GOP are in office just to disrupt the GOP agenda and they need to be gone period.

based on what? because he's won three state wide elections? because he beat cornyn by 30 points? his democrat opponent by 20 points just 4 years ago.

do you think talarico is a more attractive candidate than wendy davis and beto, if you do you might have issues regarding your sexual identity.

The fact that a guy in Talarico who seemingly is a horrible candidate in so many ways is neck and neck with Paxton in a state like Texas. And if you’re not smart enough to understand the difference in an election where only republicans vote and one where Democrats and independents can vote I can understand why you can’t see the obvious.

Wendy Davis was known by everyone on the left and right in Texas for her filibuster to prevent more restrictive abortion measures. That’s never gonna play here.

The right knows Talarico for “six genders”, but that’s not how the rest of the state sees him.

It doesn’t mean much now that the parties have gotten so extreme, but Talarico is much more moderate and generally a realist compared to Beto and Davis. He actually has a very good track record of working across the aisle in the Texas house.

Of course the twitter sphere will make up a bunch of BS and overblow some quotes on social red meat issues that really don’t matter to anyone’s daily life.

What are his thoughts on trannies? Immigration? What is “economic justice?” Why does he want to overhaul the Supreme Court?


Calling Talarico a moderate is a clear sign of just how far left you wackos have gone.
