James Talarico: [View all]

James Talarico has charisma. Tonight as he spoke in San Antonio, I listened but I also was observant of the crowd.
Many were young(under30) & enthusiastic.
He is inspiring young people in the same way 50-60 yrs ago
Bobby Kennedy & Jimmy Carter did.
He is the face of Texas future.
