34. Some posters from other states do not understand Texas politics.

Lifelong Texan here, and 21-year member of DU. Texas politics is a unique animal that some do not understand. We are closer this election than we've ever been in turning Texas. So Texas Democrats are doing something right. It may still not be enough when we get to the general, but we are fighting hard and something has changed this time around. Again, it may not be enough, but outsiders are just going to have to trust the process, and we will see where we get.

Talarico has the best chance in the general. End of story. Full stop.

All of us who live down here have interactions with Republicans. Hell, we are surrounded by them. I know of at least three Republicans who have told me that if Talarico wins the primary, they will vote for him in the general. All I've heard any Republican say about Crockett is (and I quote....this is their words; not mine) that she's a "clown car". They don't like her. Whether that's right or whether that's wrong, it is fact.

If Crockett wins the primary, I will be an ardent supporter of hers in the General. But I find it quite offensive for someone to suggest that if Crockett does not win, that Black voters will stay home for the general and not vote. That doesn't give Black voters enough credit in my opinion because EVERY Democrat down here, regardless of race, color, gender or religion knows what's at stake this time around.
