General Discussion

so it is no shocker that they would want Paxton.

We are never going to win over maga.

However, I believe Talarico can win by mobilizing all democrats (if we get off our butts and decide that this November we need to actually show up and vote, or else we have to shut up about our problems for another however many years.)

I also think he can get the votes of some moderate Hispanics who are not happy with how things are going with ICE and Trump. Paxton is a sleazebag and Talarico is a nice Christian guy. I think he can get some votes.

I think he can similarly pull some votes from independents in the middle who are not happy with the direction of things under Trump in general. I think this would have been much harder under Cornyn.

Make no mistake, if we win, it will be close. This is Texas. We need donations to every single one of the senate states where we are trying to pick up seats or retain seats (NC, GA, ME, TX, and a few I'm forgetting.) But I think this could be a year where it's possible.
