1. Really nervous but curious how Crockett and Talarico will navigate the primary

I hope it can be entirely positive and jsut let people choose the candidate they like best without either one going negative.


Theres reason to be skeptical about that idea tho

[Rhiannon12866]

2. They're both really strong candidates and I agree with you that they need to avoid going negative

There's plenty to criticize regarding Republican rule especially in Texas.

3. Im sounding like a broken record at this point

But having two big name candidates in the same statewide race while other statewide races go virtually ignored is, to say the least...


Frustrating

4. I certainly agree, it would have been wiser if one of them had waited to take on Ted Cruz

5. I mean one of them taking on Abbott, or the LTGovs race, or AG..

Does everybody only want to be a Senator??

6. That's a very good point and certainly more helpful for the people if Abbott was gone - and/or Ken Paxton

7. I wish that someone had been Crockett. She would have been a hell of an asset campaigning for others in 2026.

She may yet be if she loses the primary. I love her and hate that the idea of her winning this one fills me with dread because I think Talarico is a unique voice we desperately need on the national stage.
