Where in the world is James Talarico?

Recall the left like to say that Trump would not wee wee on you or your family or children if engulfed in flames. It's them projecting of course but a reminder they would be the ones to watch you burn versus offering water or piss.

Remember who they are and how much they hate. Offer no quarter, no sympathy.

I'll bet this freak is reacting to an October surprise that was about to be released.

And if I had to guess, it's not much of a stretch to imagine that that surprise was related to his hard drive... Or something thereabouts.

I have no problem with Pqxton using whatever tactic he wants to beat Talerico. I don't care if it's fair or even true.

This is a whatever it takes and take no prisoners war we're in with the democrats.

Oh I'm very aware that the deranged party of violence and death celebrated wildly when Charlie Kirk was publicly executed and lamented openly when Trump assassination attempts failed. I'm not like them. I just want radical socialists to lose elections because socialism is self-annihilation and destruction of our country. Taxing those of us left that earn anything to oblivion so government can implement nationalized programs to house, feed, and care for anyone and everyone is what Venezuela did. Bad ideas. Very bad.

Did he lose his hard drive?

I mean, so far he's just been using Talarico's words against him.

I don't know who is going to win this race but this thread sure got a lot more entertaining.

My bet's on one of his former students coming forward with a story about how the midnight texting eventually led to a physical contact.

The Democratic candidate for Senator has been missing for 12 days. Paxton is now calling him out and somehow that is desperate?

Hey!

Out of line!

Everybody needs to disappear for 12 days unexplainably now and then!

Dude is a full on creeper, there's no doubt of that

It's going to take an independent journalist to get to the truth. But it's not normal at all.

Whatever the real story is must be quite terrible. https://t.co/jc0cwM2CFw

Stephen Miller saying something is weird - maybe noteworthy.

Really!

Pray he's okay but that God shows him the real truth of the Bible, not the crazy stuff he believes. Pawpaw did not teach him correctly about Jesus or tell him Nezus is the only way to God.

Jesus not Nezus

Seeing "mental health crisis" popping up on my X feed in regards to the 12 day disappearance. I could buy that but I'm still leaning towards the gay diarrhea disease.

This makes a lot of sense … someone produced or threatened to produce some pics… that someone doesn't want him in office. Just a strange situation to be honest.. who just disappears that's running for Senator? Craxy times

This is really strange

James Talarico claimed he was in a Dallas urgent care the same night he was holding a fundraiser in New York, now Republicans in Texas are calling him a liar.
Talarico was supposed to be in Edinburg on September 30 for an in-person forum at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He joined by video instead.

On the video, he said
"Last night, it got so bad that I went to urgent care here in Dallas, and I was diagnosed with the flu."
He said he had a fever and was in the "most contagious" stage and that he could not live with himself if he got someone's grandmother or someone's baby sick, and that the best thing was to put safety and health first.
He also said, "I guess I've been shaking too many hands on the campaign trail."

However, it appears as though his schedule doesn't match his excuse.

Monday, September 28, 7 p.m., downtown Manhattan fundraiser:
Tickets ran from $500 to $27,000. Talarico attended.

Tuesday, September 29, Greenwich Village, a second fundraiser, on his campaign's invitation.
Tickets ran from $1,000 to $13,500. He held the reception.

A Tuesday night reception in Greenwich Village, New York and a Tuesday night urgent-care visit in Dallas is not the same thing.

The campaign hasn't given an explanation, proof of a flight, a timestamp, or even a clinic name.

While Talarico was in New York collecting out of state money - his events in Texas were being cancelled.

The Edinburg forum on September 30 went virtual.
The Central Texas African American Civic Engagement Symposium was canceled.
An Austin fundraiser set for Tuesday was scrapped.

Ken Paxton's spokeswoman Madison Cercy said Talarico had time for a New York fundraiser but "can't find time for Texans," and that Paxton is working while Talarico "hides behind recycled rally footage and canceled events."

On October 7 the campaign launched a "Where's Jimmy?" count:
"It's been 11 days since James Talarico was last seen campaigning in Texas."
At President Trump's San Antonio rally, Paxton led a "Where is Talarico?" chant.

Republicans say if he was in Dallas with the flu, the Greenwich Village fundraiser needs an explanation. If he was in Greenwich Village taking checks, the urgent-care story needs one. The campaign has offered neither.

Do you believe a man can be at a New York donor reception and a Dallas urgent care on the same night? Or are Republicans right in saying that Talarico is lying?

James Talarico is 37 and has never been married. He dates around the Texas Capitol and shares his only checking account with his mother. Now it's rumored he disappeared because he's having a nervous breakdown. What a mess.

“Texas is now, for me, in the category of, unless there’s a tsunami as big as Connecticut, Paxton will win,” says @MarkHalperin. “There’s just too much money being spent. It’s still too red a state. Talarico is still a flawed candidate for a lot of Texans. So I think I Texas will… pic.twitter.com/7upNGlaYDt

Even if he 'comes out' today with some sort of implausible story about running out of kleenexes at his mom's house etc. I think this one's over.

If Freako were a republican, he'd have to answer for this.

Hope that's right. It's still incredibly bizarre and sad that polls showed a close race. Granted, some polling manipulation by Dems, but that doesn't account for all of it. There's still a lot of people who will vote for a far left weirdo like that. I don't recognize roughly half of this country as people I would want to live with. Our values have diverged so sharply that they are irreconcilable.

yep

Mitch McConnell hadn’t been missing three days before Democrats like Andy Beshear demanded proof of life.

Trump can’t go a day without a public appearance before Democrat propagandists claim he’s on his deathbed at Walter Reed.

James Talarico, a Senate candidate, goes missing…

I wish Angela Paxton was running. She is exactly what the R's need representing us in DC

Hell no!!

Paxton is deep fried.

When the best you have is "where is Talarico" and "Talarico is weird" then you know it's over.

Bookmarked.

I like Halperin a lot. My fear is that he's right when he says that if Talarico wins, Dems are going to be winning in Iowa and Alaska and Maine, etc.

I'm really afraid that's going to be the case.

A lot of people are just sick of Trump and eager to show it and the Republicans are less energized.

I agree with the poster above. Democrats have just gone so crazy I don't see how this is all going to work any more.

I feel like we've been saying this since Obama got elected. Then Trump won, 3 times.

And many swing states shifted right.

You nominate a soft millennial man - get a soft millennial trash candidate. And we will still have to endure "he's up in our poll" from now until the election.

Sadly I feel like it's a real possibly that he emerges from hiding as trans woman.

most likely explanation is trump administration or one of their surrogates attempted to poison talarico KGB style

There is no enthusiasm on either side. Independents don't like either choice and won't be motivated to turn out unless they are single issue types. This will be a base turnout midterm.

My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign.

If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful… https://t.co/H2VVSPeQlF

Wild - first definitive statement but it's from a Californian. He's connected but everyone else has been eluding to this.

It's Day 13 with no Talarico.

LOL at all the fools that looked at Kalshi and Polymarket and bet on Jimmy.
