And liberals. Hopefully they get their chit together. We welcome new biz here but dont bring your New England or California politics. You moved because it was so costly to live there. Keep that out of Texas

Give me Jimmy Taledaga. Our politics don't align much, but it is time to send a message to the Texas Maggots. We want our state back, you rednecks. It's time to rid Merca of the trump stank. I wish nothing but failure on Cornyn as he like most maga/repubs have no balls and do what the furor says. No respect to you Cornyn. You are a POS and have been there 30yrs. Get a freaking job.

While I agree with your views of Cornyn, I'm afraid electing Talarico would be just like electing the Virginia governor, campaign in the middle and then immediately after taking office swing to the far left.
Devil you know vs devil you don't know.
I'm all in favor of shaking up the system in Austin but this **** is not gonna fly in Texas.
If this is a real Talarico post, he is toast.

This doesn't look like the start of a blue wave to me
Al Green and fellow Dem, house member Christian Menefee are in a runoff
Jasmine Crockett is headed home
RINO Dan Crenshaw is out and Tony Gonzalez is in a runoff. Gonzalez is about to have an ethics probe into his affair with a staffer who later killed herself.
Dem lefties lost and mid-RINOs lost

He's running for US senator so he likely won't spend much time in Austin. However, you are correct: both Austin & Washington need a complete house cleaning and Talarico is a radical nut case. He's extremely dangerous and should never be allowed to have any real power. His bigotry & extremism are more like the KKK than anyone who criticizes. After all, the KKK is a Dem organization and always has been.
