Cruz reportedly said Talarico has a chance, it's going to be close, a 1-2 point race.Sen. Ted Cruz warns that James Talarico may beat Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate Race.

“He has a chance... this is a one or two-point race,” Cruz said during a recent appearance on the Sean Hannity Show. pic.twitter.com/2SbuqrwPUW
He was talking to Abbott while filling in for Hannity I believe.

I dont understand your point of view.
Are you voting for talarico?
Are you voting agaisnt Paxton?
I haven't paid too much attention to this thread, but please tell me what your angle is.
That the Texas Republicans nominated a lazy frat boy to run against the best candidate the Democrats have fielded in Texas for a statewide office since Beto.
Not that Cornyn was much better, but he wouldn't be in London on a tryst with his concubine while getting out-fundraised 3.2-to-1 by the sniveling, evil liberal dem.
The Texas GOP is broke, dumb, and full of angry souls who do not run things well.
And that's why the Republican hold on all of the statewide offices is about to crumble and Texas will turn blue.
Beto almost defeated an unlikeable Cruz --missed by 200k votes statewide-- but Cruz maintained Hispanic support. Lazy Frat Boy Paxton has little Hispanic support. He's lazy, too. He's going to bring all of us down.

And what now? He won a primary. You gonna vote for talarico now?
Don't see how it much matters at this point. You gonna come back here after Paxton wins and eat some crow?
Are you just here to stir division amongst Republicans? I can't understand a post or two being upset your guy didn't win but I cannot understand the identity in such.
No matter how bad you think Paxton is, talarico is eleventymillion worse and proves it every day.
Shouldn't you, if you see a weakness in paxton's campaign, work to counter that. Instead of telling everyone how bad he is, maybe talk about how vital it is for a republican to win, especially agaisnt someone as radical as talarico?

The first step is to identify the problem. We haven't done that because many of you fellow Ags on Texags think it's going to be a cake walk win for Paxton. I argue that it is not and on the current vector, Paxton is going to get smoked.

Are you really making a "best candidate" comparison to Colin Allred like that would give it some sort of legitimacy?
lol

Republicans in Texas elected Paxton in the primary runoff by 30 points over a MULTI-TERM INCUMBENT.
30 POINTS.
THIRTY.
Maybe we can all stop pretending now that Republicans in Texas are not behind Paxton...

This.
Talarico and his Dem friends are doing all the campaigning that Paxton needs to do right now.
They'll have a debate in October, just like Cruz has done with Beto and Allred, Paxton will clean his clock, then Beto 2.0 will be done.
BREAKING: When asked about his demand for private information blatantly violating the child victim’s privacy, he says point blank: “the victim is not the issue here.”

Talarico admits he doesn’t care about violating the victim’s rights for his twisted political gain. https://t.co/zVdRUGuQFi pic.twitter.com/oH0aQJuuwr

Paxton will never debate anyone or testify in court because it will open him up to questions that lead to his impeachment and his securities trial. That is why he only goes on Fox friendly shows like Hannity. He is not a good orater and was a medicore attorney in private practice. What makes him a good A.G. is he hires the right people to run the Agency and fight the Democrats. We could have nominated a better candidate for Senate but he lights years better than Talifrico

I think a lot of the folks complaining about Paxton are Cornyn supporters that are still torqued he not only got beat, but embarrassed, just stirring the pot hoping for an eventual "I told you so".
Aggie Dad Sip said:
Although there's no evidence at all to support it, let's say that James Talarico is gay and he's lying about his religion. So what? Is that any worse than being an amoral corruption machine like Ken Paxton?
If you wanna support Paxton because he supports your political positions, knock yourselves out. But sin is sin is sin is sin. None worse than another. The hand wringing around here about Talarico's morality or lack thereof is really silly.

Said by Talarico supporter. Dems bring in Soros $ and dollars from lots of rich liberals. Coryn spent a lot more than Paxton, but he won soundly. Once people pay attention ( after 4th of July Celebrations and school clothing ads) Paxton just needs to run quotes of Talarico. Talarico is not for Texas! He's from Austin, and may be accepted there, but no way for the whole state
If the Dems have lots of Soros money, what is Lazy Frat Boy Paxton going to do to counter it? Stick his head in the sand?
