hard for me to take this seriously. If there were real proof, I have to think it would already be out there. It's very suspicious, but there are too many incentivized people on the other side of the aisle to keep something like this hidden for long.

What if he's always been a woman?
You can bet there are people on this very forum who know what's going on and won't say because they don't want everyone to know.

There's a simple way out of this for the talarico campaign.

He is clearly the sidesaddle type. Almost an insult to a felt hat that he tries to look cowboy or western.

That's what makes the timing so awful for Talarico. He absolutely needs the base to be fired up and his weird absence only hurts that.MouthBQ98 said:
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.

They're making up for it with the TV ads. Seems every other ad, no matter the channel, is a Talarico ad.
Why press the flesh when you can just inundate their TV watching?

Paxton is deep fried.
When the best you have is "where is Talarico" and "Talarico is weird" then you know it's over.
You seem confused. It's not the best at all, it's the funniest at the moment.
Look at the orators in our republics; as long as they are poor, both state and people can only praise their uprightness; but once they are fattened on the public funds, they conceive a hatred for justice, plan intrigues against the people and attack the democracy.

So you and the rest of his followers don't know where he is either? Got it.
No way of knowing that. Being absent for 2 weeks is a bad look no matter how you try and spin it. He needs as much turnout as possible.Tramp96 said:Gigem314 said:MouthBQ98 said:

I don't think I've ever seen a candidate disappear in October of a campaign, but then again, Talafreako is very different from almost any other candidate we have seen in Texas run for a statewide position.
Settle down guys, the dems are just trying out their new advertising strategy for getting their candidate's face on milk cartons.

The thing is...his absence doesn't seem to be getting much traction because, as always, the MSM is going to cover for their guy.
We pay attention, so we see it. But the unwashed masses of low-information voters aren't paying attention, they just see the ads.

Agreed--and they shouldn't. But there's a lot of voters who aren't his supporters but might vote for him if they feel compelled to do so. Again, most people actually vote FOR someone. They may tell a pollster they are voting against the current administration, but history tells us that overwhelmingly, that doesn't actually translate into actually voting.
It's definitely getting traction on social media. Not a good look.Tramp96 said:Gigem314 said:Tramp96 said:Gigem314 said:MouthBQ98 said:

The question is whether he has enough supporters who care in the first place. He needs the base to turn out and going silent doesn't help that.samurai_science said:JWinTX said:

CNN is still advertising that he will have a townhall next week on it.

Disagree. It's getting a lot of play. Is CNN MSM?

I found those in just a few minutes. There are a lot more. This is getting a lot of traction. So WHY would his advisors not get him out there, for a pic or zoom call or something?

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.
Maybe trans surgery has been more difficult than he thought…

Is there ever good timing for a Senate candidate to go missing for 14 days?

Sure there is.
It would not even be a blip on anyone's radar if this happened in April.
This is the most important time right now. Where's Jimmy?

NEW: @jamestalarico campaign issues a statement about his 13 day absence from the campaign trail: "James looks forward to being back out this weekend after recovering from the flu…” I’ve asked for more details on where Rep. Talarico will be. @CBSNewsTexas (MORE)
— Jack Fink (@cbs11jack) October 9, 2026
I will gain some respect for him if he actually had a breakdown caused by all his advisors demanding he lie and take stances antithetical to his beliefs. I still will think he's a freak but at least he believes in his nutty stances.
So really, they're just answering a question with a question. Which is not an answer.

The fact that it took them that long to put out a simple statement shows how terribly run his campaign is.
