Those frosty margs at 45th & Lamar sure are nice and tasty.

Talarico is very very close to the ideal Texas Democratic Senate candidate:

White male.

Super duper duper Christian and knows how to articulate that to people across the spectrum.  

Speaks Spanish.

Background in education and is able to seem authentic and come across as a true public servant rather than a super-ambitious power hungry egomaniac (which was what I thought killed Beto).

Legislative experience.

Understands that the way for Democrats to message is to constantly reframe almost every issue as a class (rich vs poor) issue instead of whatever bullshit the MAGA side is spouting.

 

The one thing he’s missing is being pro gun.  I haven’t seen much from him on the topic.  But he needs to learn how to shoot and if/when he wins the primary he needs to release an ad showing him frying bacon on an AK47 that he just emptied the clip on.  Texans are fucking morons and won’t vote for somebody they think will take their guns.  And if there’s an attack on Talarico, it’s that he’s too soft of a personality.  Undoubtedly the attack ads will say stupid shit like “Talarico wants to take your guns and let illegal immigrants walk through your yard…”

He probably doesn’t have a chance.  He will have a better shot against Paxton than Cornyn.  But I do think he’s a better candidate than Beto was.

I'm still not convinced he wins his primary.  He's the Christian version of Elizabeth Warren, which probably explains his support in these parts.

I’m not convinced he wins the primary either.  But if the Dems choose a black man who just lost a senate race last cycle against a lesser opponent or a proven loser in Beto, they deserve the shellacking they will end up getting.  Talarico probably doesn’t have much of a chance of winning the general, but he’s got a shitload better shot than Beto or Allred.
