23. It's coming from non-Texans who are going crazy over the idea

Fri Feb 27, 2026, 03:12 PM

Friday

that actual Texans are divided and like BOTH James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett. They can't wrap their minds around the idea that this race is very close, much less the idea that James Talarico may win. He has not only been in office for four terms, so LOTS of experience, despite what some keep saying. They are going insane because they believe it should be an absolute Jasmine Crockett blow away, and since that isn't manifesting, since Texans like BOTH candidates, they are looking for any excuse to find something wrong with him that doesn't exist.
