Comments from Trump voters on James Talarico running for the Senate in Texas.

[applegrove]

Republicans say they’re voting for James Talarico:

“He knows what working people want.”

“I like him because he’s anti-big money in politics.”

“He’s not left and right. He supports everybody.”

“He seems to just be a truth teller."

1. Dayum!

That is great news.

2. Texas is 'in play' !!!

especially if the Texas maggots nominate the criminal,
which almost all polls indicate that they will do!


Hell, almost ALL states are 'in play' at this point!

And even in 'hopeless states'---
Democratic candidate recruitment is at record levels across the entire country!

Even those candidates who have no chance of winning,
will be helping to build our party in their states,
and I am grateful for their efforts!


(and who knows where 'lightning may strike',
and how big that the BLUE WAVE will turn out to be!!!)

3. Smells fishy.

7. You cast your vote and take your chances, or you cast your vote and push for the results you want.

True story: FDR listened to a group advocating for their cause for a full hour, and then said “I agree with you. Now go out there and make me do it!”. Want results? Build public support. And hope we don’t get fooled again!

Epstein!

9. He seems pretty awesome. I'm not from Texas (Californian), and I'd never heard of him b4 this...

but he seems great:

4. Excited to see a candidate with a moral compass

who is not afraid to use it. The contrast will be… interesting.

5. It seems like James Talarico

is crashing through some of the Traitor's Cult mindset.

I Hope it's contagious and spread throughout Texas!!

TY

6. I've been impressed by Talarico since I first saw him interviewed a few years ago.

He's a truly talented orator.

8. Talarico is truly exceptional.

My husband and I got to see him in person a few days before the Texas primary. His message and authenticity are inspirational and moving. Several people near me were wiping away tears as he finished speaking, they felt so moved.

He has a record of legislative success because he is genuinely kind and he wins people over. He built cross party coalitions that succeeded in passing a number of key education bills over his time in the Legislature.

I am unsurprised that he is reaching a number of Texans who have voted Republican in the past. That's why I've been excited by his candidacy from the beginning.
