(83,055 posts)The conventional wisdom is that Talarico would fare better in the General Election.
But reading about the race, it seems Crockett will generate lots of attention to our causes with her rhetoric. Talerico seems like a more able legislator. An interesting race.

(178,127 posts)While I have already voted for Talarico, I would be very happy to support Crockett if she is the nominee. Texas Democrats are blessed with two amazing persons running for this seat which is why the polling has been all over the place.

One or none of these polls got it right, I never seen no shit like this 🤷🏽♀️

Here is the latest average of the polling

These numbers are all within the margin of error and so I would not be surprised to see either candidate emerge as the nominee. Again, Texas Democrats are blessed with two amazing candidates and we will be fortunate to have either candidate be our nominee to run against hopefully Paxton.
