Yeah, if Paxton had done something like this these folks would be losing their minds and screaming it from the rooftops.

probably not - paxton's already been MIA for months

Left Leaning USA Today poll shows it's a tie

You would think he would have made a statement laughing off the rumors. The fact that he doesn't tells me he doesn't want to answer questions about the reason for the absence.

Idk. I just think that's a long time to be 100% absent from the campaign. Too sick for almost 2 weeks to do anything? That doesn't seem strange to you, at this point in the campaign?

Wait. Last week there was so much mud at ACL it looked like a mud fight pit. And today, it's dry ground?

13 days missing?

Maybe 2 or 3 before you actually noticed, so maybe 10 days to actually be stuck with the flu. And I'm sure he's been glad handing more solid donors before showing up at some crackhead music festival so even less than 10.

Not hard to believe if you actually think about. But sure, "Something is coming."

Conservatives these days are reminding me of the "n word" and "pee tapes" that liberals swore were coming out back in the day.

The @statesman “caught up” with James Talarico at ACL today and asked him no questions about his 13 day absence.

They did however ask Talarico who he is most excited to see at ACL this year.

His answer? Natasha Bedingfield.

His campaign disappearance remains unwritten. https://t.co/ZTd7hUoOvI

I'm trying to follow the logic here… a private jet came in from Ohio and that somehow proves that Talarico was at a mental hospital there?

They can't gain ground on their politics or agenda so it's down to lunatic attacks while conveniently disregarding that corrupt Paxton, who has been ducking debates, has been largely absent from his duties quite often.

July 4th in the UK with his affair partner? Lmao

More likely they had a tip as to his location at the mental health facility and are trying to reconstruct the travel to & from, not the other way around.

At this point Low-T should be forced to answer whether he is on anti-depressants/SSRI's, if he's not dropping out.

Patriots are trying to now backtrack to whether he took the same private jet to get to the Linden, OH nut house as he took back to Texas.

Texas voters deserve both the truth and an aggressive pursuit of it from the Talarico campaign. If he suffers from depression/mental health issues I think people considering voting for this fruit cake should have that information.

Harris County has suffered through years of Depression Dora who was in and out of hospitals throughout her term as County Judge. It got worse after she won the rigged (paper gate) re-election.

Low-T would probably have a similar career as a Senator.

But the voters of Harris County got what they voted for, with incompetent leadership, corruption, gerrymandering of precincts, and fraudulent elections, when they went democrat eight years ago. For a large part the fall of Harris County was due to the fake Mexican's senate run.


We saw similar corruption during the Biden administration. Luckily they didn't have enough votes to make election cheating legal, although they tried. If given an opportunity, democrats will make it illegal for any other party to have control. They announced their plan four years ago, including statehood for PR & DC and packing the Supreme Court.

I don't understand why anyone who values a free society would vote to end it.

The word that needs to be spread, especially to minorities here in Texas, is that the Democratic Party pulled the plug on Jasmine Crockett, did not get behind her-.heck, she was on a national level! And put their power behind a weanie looking white guy from Austin, who turns out to be weak minded, and folds under pressure? I guarantee Jasmine would still be fighting tooth and nail!!

The democrats hosed her! Didn't have faith in the black gal! Goes to show you who Dems really are!

You know, I was thinking the same thing. All the news was reporting on the muddy conditions. Another file photo?

You think people were following Talareako around wanting pictures with him at prior year ACL?

Note that Tallacreepo himself isn't confirming "the flu"

This is is plausible deniability in case the REAL reason gets discovered he can say "I never said that, my campaign was misinformed"

Easy obvious stuff but Dems want to believe the narrative

Yeah, one thing he's concerned about is being honest. LOL

Crockett is a fighter. Of that there is no doubt. She would have carried the urban vote, but how would she have performed in the rest of the state against a middle-aged white guy, even one as lackluster as Paxton? D/FW, Austin, and Houston would have shown her strong support, but in the valley? In west Texas? In rural Texas generally? One can claim the party screwed her on racial grounds, and/or sexist grounds, but making that claim is also an indictment of how the state tends to view the matter of race, sex, and leadership generally when it comes to picking who we send to Washington. A state-wide Senate campaign is a much different beast than a district level Congressional race. Her style, which is admittedly in many ways a strength, would also feed into persistent tropes that could be a detriment outside of urban Texas. The polling data during the primaries showed that she would not have fared well against either Cornyn or Paxton, and Cornyn would have easily trounced Talarico.

So you are saying that winning is more important than putting a more qualified, deserving candidate a chance?

Being an American politician.

Side to that, it is ironic that he worked so put ten commandments in our schools and runs off with his hussies often on our dime

Ironic one is a preacher and seems to have looked past the "bearing false witness" commandment.

One went on vacation on a holiday weekend months before the election. The other disappeared at the height of a tight campaign mere weeks before the general election and days before early voting starts.
