Colin Allred dropped out of the senate race hours before Jasmine Crockett announced her candidacy. They have been coordinating their efforts from the start. Them working together to try to take out Talarico by bringing up race smacks of cheap mudslinging. I know I won't be donating any money to Crockett or Allred ever again, that's for sure.

I think that Talarico will win the primary and has a much better chance to beat Paxton. efhmc Feb 9 #1

Oh god, literally anybody but Ken Paxton. Initech Feb 9 #2

She might not be able to win statewide, but neither will anyone that can't even beat her in the primary. W_HAMILTON Feb 9 #22

Comparing apples & oranges ... TBF Feb 9 #23

Not really. If a Democrat can't even win the support of Democrats there... W_HAMILTON Feb 9 #24

Paxton's lead over Cornyn is not surprising as Texas conservatives just love their corrupt adulterous politicians. surfered Feb 9 #6

I don't buy it. Both races are close. JCMach1 Feb 9 #7

Crockett and Allred cynically poisoned the well Sympthsical Feb 9 #10
