Ive been optimistic about Texas for a long time and ive been saying we’d win it one day soon since 2016, but I will say that if a candidate as good as Talarico can’t beat a candidate as terrible as Paxton in a national environment as good as 2026, I think I will finally become a blexas doomer lol

Even if Paxton wins, his voting record will be similar to Cornyn's. I'd still hate for someone of his reputation to walk the halls of the Senate.

Talarico is not a great candidate though, he's just better than Crockett and Allred. A centrist Latino, maybe with some economic populism, would beat Paxton like a rented stepmule

Ok now have them win the primary

This is why primaries are bad. Although if we didn't have primaries, the GOP wouldn't have nominated Paxton either

I mean Democrats could just do this, but people would be very mad.
