58. Talarico seems prepared to defend himself in a good humored, pointed way

Fri May 29, 2026, 03:02 PM

that fits his persona. I don't think he should or will get into the mud with Paxton. It's not so much when they go low, we go high as he's just not the right vehicle for it. However, I am strongly in favor of employing surrogates to "dirty up" Paxton about his various infidelity scandals. Voters need to be made aware that he has no standing to criticize anyone else.
