Apparently he has never had the “biogenic carbon cycle” explained to him.
(In fairness, explaining it to a 6 year old would probably be easier)

Cows are carbon neutral, their methane gets converted back into CO2, which helps the plants grow that are food for the cows.

It's interesting to hear Vegans complain about cows just eating plants and farting. That's all Vegans do.

Talarico is just plain creepy to me.

I've heard him referred to as "Talafreako" so I'd say he is plenty creepy.

In Texas? May want to downplay that when he holds a rally near the Cattleman's Club.

And they're letting/let in how many Mexicans?
Who are anything BUT vegan... And VERY catholic.
Very family oriented.

I think Talarico is an assclown, but it'd be foolish for Texans not to take him as a serious threat. He's going to bring in big out of state dollars, the mainstream media will be on his side covering up his assclownery, and I don't have a lot of hope in the Republican establishment helping Paxton considering they spent $92M backing Cornyn with in the primary.

He is currently a rep in Texas' state house and his district is 43% Hispanic, and the republicans didn't even run a candidate in that district.

The Demonrat party is likely looking at their last two Senate losses. Allred (aka Dallas native who played football at Baylor and made it to the NFL as a linebacker. Some Sigforumites might not give a damn about football but Texans do) was pretty moderate by their current standards and lost by 8.5%. Beto was pretty liberal and only lost by 2.6%. Talarico is currently out fundraising either one of them.

Democrat voters tend to vote straight party and don't research candidates. If they do, they'll find the mass media highlighting his free shit policies:

universal (aka free) healthcare

our southern border should be as welcoming as a front porch

our problems are billionaires and politicians not illegals, muslims, or trans people

Oh, he is a serious "threat" because he made it to the Final Two. But I completely agree with Victor Davis Hanson- Talarico will go the way of Beto, IMO unelectable in TX as long as Republicans make it to the polls.

Voter turnout of the base is actually the #1 deciding factor in the supermajority of elections. The media loves to swoon all over Moderates, independents and fence sitters and some on our side have fallen for the spiel. I delved into it in pretty good detail about 2 weeks ago.

Texas conservatives need to gird your loins and encourage one another to get out and vote. Texans have a wave of blue and RINO bullshit heading our way. We need to ignore it and encourage everyone in our sphere of influence that there is hope and we all need to vote.

Yes, individually we need to get to the polls but in our sphere of influence we need to also:

get our like minded friends, family, and acquaintances to the polls

educate the fickle middle on who the real Talarico is

I never donate except directly to local candidates. The National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee is the worst. Thune is just another McConnell.

Just when you think things can't be any more fouled up, along comes Talarico with Jasmine Crockett sounding sensible by comparison.
