I have a bet here with somebody that Talarico will win in November. Can’t remember who. it was for $100. 
 

The pollsters are calling this race a toss up. But I don’t see it that way. Unless there is some shocking reveal about Talarico I think he wins pretty easily. And even if there is a shocking reveal, if gas prices remain at or near the current rate Talarico wins anyhow. 

Toss up? My aunt Fanny. 

Like you say, maybe Talarcio has something in his past that can come back and bite him (although I think we would have seen that by now).

Even if Trump turns around the economy he has had a huge switch of Latino voters towards Democrats after seeing their aunts, uncles and grandmas being deported and that in itself might make the difference for Talarico.

There are many Texans who vote GOP no matter how bad the candidate is. And Texas has one of the lowest turnout rates of young voters in the country.

Paxton might just be bad enough to finally flip a Texas Senate seat. But I wouldn’t bet on it.

Well I did lol. 
 

It’s the combination of 3 factors: Paxton terrible, gas prices/inflation, Latinos in Texas pissed off about the ICE stuff. That should be enough to get the Dem in there. We’ll see.

Hopefully it wasn’t @Horseman / @JuneJuly / @jose m (banned) / @rogerdodger (banned).  He’s a welcher that owes me $1000

Talarico is certainly battle tested. He defeated the formidable Jazmine Crockett in the primary. That must have been very difficult. 🙄

Maureen Galindo, the anti-Semite who was supported by Republicans and whose comments were brought to our attention here by @HellToupee, was easily defeated tonight. She was denounced by nearly every prominent Democrat. 

The MAGA fans here thought she was a serious candidate.

But I don’t blame them. She was almost crazy enough to win a Republican primary.

And he will whack Ken Paxton in November, so to speak.

Exactly. I mean I guess if every election someone thinks that Texas will flip and they eventually do you are technically right....but like 1 for 1000 isn't a great prediction average.

SUPERSTAR! Senate candidate James Talarico hilariously destroys his MAGA opponent for spreading the pathetic lie that he's a vegan.

They're REALLY grasping for straws now...

"I'm an eighth generation Texan. I've been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton's first indictment," State Rep. Talarico told MeidasTouch. "And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November."

You should point your Twitter machine at Paxton. Eeeeessh! And that’s just from the Republicans in Texas (well they are scrubbing all the attack ads now 😐).

Exactly as I guessed: nothing about his actual policies. 
In a universe where Texans are looking at gas and grocery prices through the roof, good luck trying to run this sort of campaign.

in 2022 the doushbag said his campaign was Vegan, but you got Trump now

Ken Paxton has been the AG of Texas since 2015.  So we’re to believe the people of Texas voted for him for AG but won’t for the Senate, for a six gender Vegan who thinks child mutilation is fine as long as mom says ok? Anything is possible I guess.

Muslims throwing a lot of $$$ to attack Paxton

They are? 😂

Next you are going to tell us the trans lobby is also spending millions to defeat him.

Rinos out. MAGAS in. 

I worry about this attitude.  In 2022 in AZ, the Repubs had a gimme for the governor race, Karin Taylor Robson.  But the MAGAs decided to go with Kari Lake, who is easy on the eyes but hard on the brain.  She lost to Katie Hobbs, a Dem who is as exciting as watching paint dry.  

Texas being Texas, they may get away with it, but they are really pushing the limits on this one.

So basically it’s a cocksman vs. a gaybird?  Hmmm…I wonder who Texas would prefer. 

You know who the fellas here are all giddy about
