Here's your daily reminder that Talarico is insane.

Will a telarcco supporter explain what they like so much about this guy? Why is he the answer?

How are open borders going to help us with "affordability"? How is "equity" and villainizing "whiteness disease" going to work out for our kids and grandchildren?

For someone who votes against holding violent illegals, how is releasing them good for citizens? For someone who votes against banning wealth tax or a state income tax, how does that not lead to socialism?

They can't. They typically mention Paxton's adultery as a way to justify voting for talarico. They mention he's a Christian and that Paxton has bad character. By saying these things they're proving they're either incredibly naive or they're just spouting nonsense because they're leftists and want to win.

---

Adultery is one of God's ten Commandments and I would think that would have some importance to Christians. If Paxton can't be trusted in marriage, can he truly be trusted?

---

Oh man ... pure 1995 Democrat playbook ... well done. You're running a kid diddling, fornicating (he claims to have had relations with all these women and even a current gal pal), so many examples of apostacy I can't count anymore, and, to top it off, "there are 6 sexes" psychopath; but, meh, adultery.

Pretty comfortable in saying you've never been guilty of self awareness.

I have a female friend who is an independent, but recently has voted republican. I saw her the other day wearing a Talirico tee shirt. There are probably other independents of the same mind. It is possible that Paxton and Trump has blown this one.

We are all sinners.It's why Jesus died for us.

But there is a far harsher judgement for false preachers that lead you down the wrong path.
If you want to vote for Talarico, great. But he is leading thousands down the wrong path. The man is evil, he considers the Bible is propaganda, and has a number of views that are completely unbiblical and abhorrent.

They have been discussed ad nauseam in this thread.

The notion that anyone that votes D honestly gives a sh** about any candidate's personal life or marriage is utterly stupid. They don't.

Once Paxton starts his advertising spend, this will motivate the Rs and conservative leaning independents to get excited.

I'm sure it's been mentioned on this mega thread, but if Talarico is confident about winning why is he running so many ads this summer? His ads are the only ones I see though I know election ads will really ramp up in October.

He must be concerned about swaying some voters while his opponent isn't running ads but I think it is turning some people off of the idea. Even my raging liberal step-mom has complained about constantly seeing him on TV. I'm sure she will still vote for him since she only votes "true blue" as she says. My dad says there is no way he will vote for that <insert word that rhymes with hairy here>

I will admit that I am in a conundrum, I have issues with both candidates. I don't agree with many of the things that Talarico has said and I don't like the character issues of Paxton. Character issues weigh heavy on me, especially in marriage. My wife and I will be celebrating our 62nd anniversary this month and I believe adultery is a serious indicator of trust issues. I will just have to see how the campaign unfolds to come to a decision how to vote.

First off, congrats on your long marriage. I certainly am not trying to tell anyone which way to vote, but the facts have been laid out here ad nauseum.

Talarico wants open borders, wants statewide abortion, wants trans nonsense to be taught in schools, and doesn't believe in basic biology. Paxton had an affair. At the end of the day, I would hope that anyone who is still up in the air would simply look at what policies that each of these guys would put forth and figure out which of those are going to better benefit Texans.

Is this parody? Your old enough to have been married 62 years but are gonna have to wait and see if you vote for a psychopath that thinks there are 6 sexes?

Do you have grandchildren and great grandchildren? Open borders/mass migration and mass amnesty, kid gloves on violent criminals, tax me harder daddy govt socialism, whiteness is an infectious disease, trans your kids isn't enough to help you decide because Paxton and his wife separated after 35 years and he has a girlfriend before the divorce is final?

Do you think like the misguided youth and today's democrat party that your grandkids will be better off in a socialist utopia when everything is DEI / equity of outcomes, redistribute the wealth/tax the rich/ make them pay their fair share, whiteys are evil? Socialism has never worked well before, why will it here?

This is easy. You are not voting for a guy to marry one of your daughters. You are not voting for a guy to be the godparent to your kids or grandkids. You are not voting for a guy to be the executor of your estate. You are voting for the guy who you think will go to Washington DC and vote in the senate for things that you agree with.

If he is a horrible person who votes the way you would prefer he vote, it doesn't matter. If he is a sinner, but votes the way you want your senator to vote, it doesn't matter. We need to stop trying to vote for people we like and instead vote for people who will get the job done.

Would I prefer to have a boy scout with an impeccable moral history representing me? Yes. Is anybody in politics ever likely to live up to that standard? No. So when it comes down to who to vote for, forget about the personalities and moral turpitude and vote for the guy who is going to vote for the things you want passed by the Senate...end of story.

Because he has money and lots of it. That's what you do in elections; you flood the zone and spend the money.

Paxton and almost no republicans in Texas have had to do much campaigning for the last 15-20 years or so. The only one that did was Cruz in 2018, and that was 8 years ago. The problem is there's limited "legacy knowledge" in the state on how to run a winning statewide campaign when it's close.

This. If you're not voting based on policy, you really have no business voting. I keep asking the Talafreakos what policy positions he promotes that get them on board with him and have only seen one give a response.

None of that is accurate. A long term rino incumbent is not easily defeated absent effective campaigning.

Please enlighten us all as to how the hundred million dollar primary was so different.

The main difference for the general this time is that Paxton is going to get more black voters than is normal for a GOP state-wide. It will be curious if he comes out with ads targeting this demo next month/October.

Why do character issues weigh more heavily on you than policy, and why would you think they're mutually exclusive in this case? Every human being on earth has major character issues…every single one, including Talarico. The question isn't "does this person have character issues?" The question is, "what are this person's character issues?"

So Talarico has character issues AND is a proponent of horrific and evil policies. Paxton has character issues, but at least he has a better record of supporting common sense, conservative policies and opposing leftist degeneracy and child abuse.

This is not a difficult decision.

I hear you loud and clear. You're not wrong.
If we're going to apply that moral code, then you're going to knock out what, 75% of all legislatures at the state and federal level.

Because the messaging is different. In a primary, you have to convince the voters that you are more aligned with the party than the other guy. In the general, you have to convince the middle that your policies are better than the other guy. The "coming to the middle' for a general election is an actual thing. You still have to move to the middle somewhat.

I'm not convinced Paxton gets more of the black vote. They may just stay home. If Crockett endorses Talarico, that may change things.

None of that is accurate. A long term rino incumbent is not easily defeated absent effective campaigning.

A primary campaign and a general election campaign are two very different things.

Please enlighten us all as to how the hundred million dollar primary was so different.

The main difference for the general this time is that Paxton is going to get more black voters than is normal for a GOP state-wide. It will be curious if he comes out with ads targeting this demo next month/October.

So was the alternative to nominate Cornyn? The same people I hear argue for this, other than die hard RINO's, then turn around and complain non stop how bad Cornyn is. At some point you have to try something different when it has become clear your guy isn't actually who he claims to be.
