(2,589 posts)TBH he is one of the few white candidates lately who I have actually personally been excited for as a non-white person. His entire campaign is built on the messsage of unity, empowerment and respect. It is a high bar he is setting compared to most national candidates who have run for any office for a long time.
As ive said before I think Crockett has a good starting point in that she has almost always been on the right side of every issue. But her name recognition has been largely based on rhetorical cleverness as opposed to much else so far. I think that can change, but so far I think Talarico is the better candidate for not much more than having a more broadly inclusive and unifying message -and having already proven himself with largely republican district.
