She didn't even lick her wounds. She endorsed him immediately and urged her supporters to get behind him. Good for her. I like her even more now. Talarico for Senate! |
That's great. Definitely need unity among the dems in Texas to win this race. |
Awesome. It seems like while this race seemed nasty online, actual voters liked both candidates, pragmatically chose the one with the best chance of winning, and are fired up and ready to go. |
Yes it is great. I was worried because many of her supporters were very upset and not so nice online last night. Plus the Dallas polling location situation did disenfranchise voters. I have no idea who will win the Cornyn/Paxton runoff. Cornyn had more support last night than I thought he would have. |
Fantastic! Great energy building for Dems. |
I'm hopeful he has a better vibe for Texans. He's openly religious and seems a bit tougher and I think is more appealing overall. |
I'm hopeful and optimistic too as Talarico is very likable but at the same time, this is the same guy who says he stands firmly against billionaire mega-donors yet at the same time he accepts Adelson money. Is he a breath of fresh air or just another run of the mill corrupt politician? We'll find out soon enough. |

James Talrico’s victory speech on Wednesday night in Austin, Texas, began with outreach to Representative Jasmine Crockett, his opponent in the Democratic primary for the Senate.
“I am so grateful for her voice and her leadership,” he said. “It was an honor to run this race with her.” Then he put billionaires in his crosshairs, the ones who “own the social media algorithms.” “They want us at each other’s throats,” Talarico told the crowd. “The real fight in this country is not left versus right. It’s top versus bottom.” |
