Texas needs to find some actual decent candidates that people will actually like. They didn't learn from Cruz - Beto. At some point it will bite them.

Abbott frankly isn't much better. And he's spouting off about property tax reform as some carrot. Dude, you've been in office forever. You could have already done that.

Republicans don’t vote red all down the ballot, and then get to Talarico and say, “Hell yeah, the gay minister that loves trans kids, illegals and taxing.”

No, but Talarico winning is.

You want to talk about a shot candidate? Talarico is the poster child for shite candidates. He stands for absolutely nothing himself. He's a puppet and not a good one.

It still boils down to turnout
Will normies show up to vote when it’s not a presidential race?

Talarico winning is an indictment of Paxton. Nothing more.

He's terrible. If Talarico wins, it shows you how awful Paxton is

It’s going to be a huge problem for Texas not just disgruntled Cornyn voters

Paxton was up 10 points before trumps endorsement.

Trump added another 10. Texans were done with Cornyn.

If Paxton loses, the lesson is micro and it's don't nominate guys like Paxton

Cornyn or the other guy win this easily. Talarico is a shite candidate.


This is the exact lesson that Republicans would learn from a Talarico win.

MAGA on the other hand would cry "stolen election!" and learn nothing.

If Talarico wins, it will tell us that we need to compromise our values and nominate establishment politicians, like Cornyn, who do nothing for us but have higher approval with "moderate" democrats.

What, in the primary? Who gives a shite? The primary is long over. Now the other two thirds of the electorate get to vote.

Talarico is all over tv desperately begging for money. You're supposed to spend it all in late October and November a-hole

Thats what the said about beto.
Beto wasn't leading every poll on RCP 6 weeks before judgement day

You guys think everything is just going to keep going like it ever has

I am telling you this is different

The demographics that Trump has alienated are not voting Talarico.

They are staying home.

I would be thrilled to be wrong.

But I am not.
