  I'm hopeful, but I'll never underestimate a Texas voter's ability to vote against their own interests.

  Talarico appeals to Moderates and disaffected Republicans, Plus Paxton is the worst Candidate ever.

  I guess the base finally had enough of being lied to.

  How can Elon Musk who’s not a legal American fund election campaigns? That’s election fraud.

  Paxton has been Texas AT for 10 years paid $150,000 a year. He now owns 15 homes. You'd have to be a complete idiot to vote for him.

  Im in Texas and this may be the year! The Latin vote will help. Texas has never really been red, Texas is a non voting state with some of the lowest voter turnout historically in the country. I think a lot of those voters may show up this time and that is NOT even counted in the polls of "likely voters" . Fingers crossed.

  Trump really messed up when he pushed out John Cornyn so that Ken Paxton could run.  Paxton has more baggage than a luggage cart, whereas Cornyn was a known commodity and would have been a much stronger candidate and likely would be polling ahead of Talarico.  This was a self inflicted wound by MAGA.

  Ken Paxton is just objectively a bad person. Multiple very clear, public, legally proven facts. Talarico is just a wholesome dude, he speaks well, and seems authentic and secure in who he is. He has consistently talked about leading through lifting up others.

  From Chicago I say that many of us hope Talarico wins. Texas has a chance to help the USA make the changes we all need nationwide. Good Luck to Talarico in November.
