re: What will Talarico winning tell republicans?

What lessons do you think the establishment is going to learn other than doubling down on a Cornyn type candidate? They don’t care about you lol but if you live in Texas you will be stuck with all the consequences of having a liberal senator for six years in a border state. Bold strategy, good luck!

It tells us that only the candidates that play ball with the Establishment Uniparty make it to the final ticket. That's the two-party system for you. Those who know the game and play it, ascend to the highest levels. Those who do not, remain on the outside looking in.
In Oklahoma, arguably the reddest State in the Union, our "Republican" Governor candidate is Mike Mazzie and he's total dogshit. But he plays ball, so he's our next governor. Better than the DSA-loving water hag that's on the Democrat side of the ballot, but still a swamp tool.
No matter who wins and where, the only real thing that changes is the speed in which we travel off the cliff. Yes, I'm voting for Mazzie but I do it begrudgingly and primarily because he's by far the lesser of evils. His primary opponent Gentner Drummond was/is a complete swamp creature. His DSA opponent in the General is a bleeder pinko.

Living and driving around Texas between Houston, San Antonio, Corpus, the Border, and the small area in between - I do not see how Paxton wins. We shall see.

Exaggerate much?? I guess maybe there is a chance that Talarico could win, but I just don’t see it. The polls are unreliable and it’s Texas.

If it happens (and I don’t think it will) it will be another example of Trump proving he’s only about Trump and not the Republican Party. He’s the reason you have an awful candidate like Paxton rather than a slam dunk winner (whatever you think about Cornyn). Paxton will be a lapdog for Trump, and that’s all he cares about. He basically told people to stay home in Georgia rather than vote in key Senate races telling them their vote didn’t matter because he was still throwing a tantrum because he lost to Biden in 2020. Cost the Republicans control of the Senate.

If Texas goes purple, Trump will be the reason

Trump on January 5-6, 2021, was a truly lethal force. He not only cost the Republicans control of the Senate, he instigated an insurrection which threatened to cost America control of its constitutional republic.

Paxton dicked off a sh!tpot of goodwill on the Texas Tech fiasco. Clowned his reputation needlessly.
Talafreako and old Paxton..Texas..what the Hell?
Starting to look like Ky and South Carolina..is this the best y'all can choose from?

What it should tell Republicans is not every voter is passionate about political ideology.
There is a segment of very passive swing voters who just vote based on likability that they see in ads.
A candidate like Talarico wins their vote.

Paxton is a great candidate. Just like Roy Moore was a great candidate in Alabama.
Both would be far better than the other option available. Only morons stay home because they don't like the best candidate "enough."

Those are solid Talarico areas, but they're not even the bluest parts of Texas -- by a long stretch. Dallas and Travis Counties are as blue as the big urban areas of the Northeast.

“What lessons do you think the establishment is going to learn other than doubling down on a Cornyn type candidate?”
I’m not a Texan, but was Cornyn so bad? He seemed OK to me. And if you’re a conservative, I bet he’s a lot better than Talarico.

Texas GOP has gotten lazy. Might wash out the old blood and bring in the new.

This whole thread is a bunch of shite thrown at Talarico with no reason or logic behind it. Why TF do all you tards lick the Ken Paxton boot? Dude is a criminal and crooked politician this election should be a no brainer but we got cronies who get triggered if a candidate mentions there might be more than 2 genders. I think most of you are way too susceptible to media gimmicks. No reason for Ken Paxton to have a job let alone work for the government.

Do you have even one single reason why Paxton is a “great candidate”?

What is this delusion? His approval rating is one of the lowest in US history, literally down there with the worst of the worst. MAGA has nothing left but a cult of brainwashed loyal servants.

Trump supports him. No other reason needed, nor any other reason allowed. There are rules in cults.

It’s a hard lesson to learn, but candidate quality matters, and the GOP has a godawful candidate.
As opposed to Talarico? Okay.
