On the Republican side, Ken Paxton and John Cornyn were neck-and-neck and in position for a runoff, according to the poll from the University of Texas’ Texas Politics Project.
Talerico is more electable by the simple fact that he is white and a male. He is inherently a bigger threat to the GOP in Texas.
This is fucking Texas. You don’t want a firebrand because they will never get elected. This seat hasn’t been held by a dem since LBJ for Christs sake.
You want the boring Christian white boy. And then you can build off of that.
Don’t get me wrong. I like Crockett. But in a general election against a GOP party that has held this state in a stranglehold for the last thirty years, I’m voting on electability. Those independent voters are worth a hell of a lot more here.
50% of Americans are dumb fake Christians led by cynical cultists. Someone like Talerico is the only way we get meaningful change, which is why he represents a threat to the status quo.
It is a shame that people are too stupid to see it.
Nah, Texans don’t like cowards. A firebrand is exactly the person needed. Anyways, picking candidates on electability is exactly what primaries are for. If you can’t win a primary, you aren’t exactly electable, are you?
Being able to win a primary does not equate to be electable. It just shows party preference. To be elected the candidate needs to be preferred by all voters.
Smart parties pick the best endgame player.
Like a sports team winning early games in a national competition, that doesn’t mean they are good enough to walk away the champions.
Overall fitness, excellence, and likability must be considered vs the other opponents on the final ballot.
Talerico is the furthest thing from a coward. Every clip of him is awesome. I wouldn’t be surprised if the GOP are voting against him in the moronic primary because he can actually talk to Texans.
Picking candidates in a primary is not about electability. It’s about party representation. And it takes more than that to win an election, especially in Texas. This isn’t a swing state where we get that sort of luxury. This is a fight where it’s a 60/40 split in an average year. Cross over votes and mobilizing the independent demographic is our only chance.
If Crockett gets the nomination, I have low expectations of a dem victory. I see better odds where we can pick up the disgruntled Christian old school Republican vote. And talerico can do that. Crockett cannot.

No, let’s pick the most polarizing figure we can find and try to win Texas that way.

The GOP actually supported Crockett as a winnable opponent.
