In reply to the discussion: Talarico wins Texas Senate Democratic nomination while Cornyn and Paxton head to Republican runoff [View all]FakeNoose
(41,193 posts)65. Exactly ... the Repukes are losing voters every day
I'm not talking about Texas, it's all over the country. Any kind of head-to-head battle against Repukes will ultimately benefit Talarico.
Whatever it takes, Talarico needs to make nice with Crockett. I believe she's a team player and she will accept any kind of peace offering. Make no mistake, Jasmine Crockett is the future of our party, but she got kicked in the gut with the Repukes' gerrymandering trick.
If Texas goes BLUE it's going to help everyone, and I believe Ms. Crockett is smart enough to realize it.

I was hoping he would win because of the racial misogyny that is still vigorously alive in my state. Sadly.

For me, it's because he's a unique voice against Christian Nationalism at a time...

I think that is a strong message and so hope it gets out. I adore them both. We Dems need many of their voices,

James Talarico is well-equipped to take them on -- and perhaps change a mind or two.

Jasmine Crockett certainly understands her next step will have consequences.

Excellent news from Texas. Bring it home in Nov. He gives us the BEST chance.

This is disturbing. No one with an ounce of ethics should take money from her.

Now that he's won the nomination, I fully support him... no ifs, ands, or buts.
