Republicans want Crockett to be the candidate because they feel they can beat her in the general. Everyone that I know has voted for Talarico.

I’ll support the winner of the primary, but we have a better chance with Talarico at this time.

Before my ass gets flamed. I’m a lifelong Texan and a lifelong Democrat, and Texas is a special case. If you don’t live down here, you don’t understand the politics.
