Talarico is vying for the Senate Democratic nomination against U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Dallas.
Interesting. Crockett is one of the very few Dems willing if not just able to navigate through Republican tactics. What could Talarico offer?
Talerico. Brings his sincerity, faith, and working class background in in one of the poorest school districts in the country. He has integrity and and a way of invoking Christianity that I think resonates in Texas. He appeals to a broad swath of voters without compromising his progressive ideals.
I would vote for Crocket if she wasn’t up against Talerico. But as is, I think he has a better shot at the general and I trust him more.
He’s a white minister. This is how they get rid of a pesky black woman, you gerrymander her out of office.
Be careful what you wish for. She is highly respected nationally, and will have multiple offers from several news organizations very quickly, where she will have a national microphone to attack from. She no longer has to abide by MAGA rules.
You cannot gerrymander a senate seat
Ah, I misunderstood. I thought they were putting two Dems against each other for the same seat. I’ve seen them edge out good, but irritating, Democrats like that before, including one of my favorite old vintage Reps, Dennis Kucinich.
Talerico is serving in the state house, Crocket in the national congressional delegation.
Sounds like they’re both reps and both running for nomination to be the Democratic candidate for the Senate.
He’s good at messaging from a Christian left perspective. Before I deleted social media, some of his more viral moments on the Texas House floor would make it to my feed. I liked what I heard, but I’m not a Texas resident or voter so Crockett vs Talarico is someone else’s judgement call to make.
I mean she’s fully bought out by AIPAC and her messaging is weak at best from everything I’ve seen. I don’t love Talarico with all my heart but I cannot imagine any world in which he’s a worse choice than Crockett.
Hmmm. I like Crockett. I’m not from Texas but she’s got Texas sized girl balls.

Talarico resonates with the deeply Christian left
