General Discussion

But we are not talking Cruz for this seat. We are dealing with an incumbent since 2002. Cornyn - the seat Crockett and Talarico are vying for - is still leading although he's being challenged by Paxton and Hunt. Cornyn has had spats with Trump, so there is no endorsement there yet. But there certainly will be once we get past the primaries.

Assuming Cornyn wins coming out the primary (and I think with his experience he probably will), I like running Talarico against him much better than Crockett. Simply because I've seen what happens to strong women in Texas against old white men. I donated to Wendy Davis (even after the DNC pulled their support), and she lost big to Abbott. So, I'm looking at where we factually have been historically. Folks need to put down their video cameras and outrage. They need to focus on the numbers.

Crockett thinks people are sour enough on Trump & she's got a lot of charisma. I agree that she does, but so does James Talarico. Plus, he has Latino heritage and his religious background. He may not be able to topple an experienced politician like Cornyn, but I do think he's a stronger candidate to give it a try in this particular race, given what we've seen historically.
