In reply to the discussion: Talarico is a guest on Bill Maher show tomorrow [View all]LtTx
(65 posts)16. She cannot win statewide in TX
I am lifelong Texan (70 years)n except for about 8 years in Ireland and England. Crockett is great- but she will not win a statewide race in TX at this point in time. We need someone who can get Rethugs to cross the line at the voting booth. Talarico is closer to doing that than Crockett. Sad, but true. And I don't care what the polls say. Polls don't vote. There are Rethugs who do not want to vote for Paxton and would be much more likely to vote for Talarico than Crockett. Just sayin'

Black voters, especially Black women voters, are the most dependable, reliable and consistent voters
