It’s only one data point, but I often like to keep my eye on Predictit just to get a sense of “which way the wind is blowing”. So far there’s been a shift in a good direction for Talarico (D) from 41% to 46% since the endorsement earlier today.
I hope Talarico beats the heck out of Trump’s pick in Texas, and does it with the true wisdom and grace of Jesus on his side. (I mean, really, have you heard James speak about his faith? We need liberal Christians in national government.)
Talarico beating the heck out of Paxton (or Cornyn) in the Fall is a very long shot.
I’ll be happy if he beats the GOP candidate by 1 vote.
I understand what you mean, but if he did somehow win by one vote (or even a slightly larger but small number), the Texas GOP will ratfuck him out of it, guaranteed.
It is likely going to be very close, not a blow out.
However, the Abbot/Patrick cabal will try to find a way to challenge the results they dislike on DJT’s instruction. Even if Talarico were to win by a million votes that bunch of scum will still try to overturn it.
I always thought of it as the three-headed Abbot / Patrick / Paxton hydra. (the last one currently the Texas AG and right now primarying against John Cornyn)
