Not at all. Paxton looks like someone may not be good at debate, and made the strategic decision not to do so. That's smart.

Look at Potato Joe. He agreed to debate Trump in July for some reason. How'd that go?

o me, the fact that Talarico may have really just taken 10 days off with the sniffles is a pretty good sign you don’t want him being your senator. Not sure how to package that in an add the right way, but that’s pretty damning to me.


So are you calling for the removal of Mitch McConnell who was missing from his job for three months?

No, just let Freako continue to hang himself.

Is he still denying his trip to the Arkham Asylum?

I don’t understand what this question has to do with debating.

I can vehemently disagree with Talarico’s stance on abortion and his reasoning behind it, while also appreciating that he’s actually willing to hear out people that have differing opinions.

It’s legitimately embarrassing that Paxton said they haven’t been able to work out the details when Talarico said the details are, “anytime, anywhere, any network”. It may not matter at the end, but we don’t need to deflect that being a terrible look for Paxton.

“Terrible look” is a bit dramatic.

Not necessary on this Race with the candidates as diametrically opposed as they are. Paxton could absolutely wipe the floor with the transgender crusader and not change one libtard or potential child killer's mind. As is, I maintain my position that he's going to win by similar margin as other recent Texas Senate races with Beto.

In principle, I believe all of these positions should require a debate.

Of course he should debate. If the question is based only on whether it helps his candidacy, that’s kind of embarrassing for Paxton…

Even if we were enemies, why waste time with unwarranted criticisms? Of course you don't REALLY think someone has to be a constituent to be interested in a race. Right? You just invented that criticism because you (and some of the other Seals) don't like me.

As to your weird "fights" with me, the problem for you is that we have access to previous comments. I specifically said we're NOT enemies. For some reason, though, you frequently appear to become irrational...just to oppose whatever I wrote.

You don't debate candidates who have no chance.

Talarico wouldn't debate him on a neutral platform.

He claims he'd do it on CNN, Nextar and Telumundo but only if his team could approve or strike the questions beforehand.
