Texas Senate Election Winner

You know what? Maybe it's better you stick to culture war arguments, because when it comes to actual policy, you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground.

themightyslug Aug 31

Which part of Talarico's plan are you calling “the government setting prices”? Expanding the EITC? Child tax credits? Housing construction? ACA subsidies? Raising the minimum wage? Antitrust enforcement? You're arguing against a policy you invented instead of the one he proposed.

nickle-rich Aug 31

Might not be so bad if obamacare never happened. Gov has a way of screwing up markets it intervenes in.

nickle-rich Aug 31

Libtard voters want the gov setting prices which always goes so well.

nickle-rich Aug 31

Polls are not truthy at all. In fact they are often manipulated for propaganda.

betpro3 Aug 31

Talarico is leading in almost every poll. So unless polls in Texas suddenly reversed their pro-GOP bias in 2018 to a pro-DEM, Talarico is really well positioned

betpro3 Aug 31

"Talarico should run adds with his mistress in London, and cheating on his wife" I think you meant Paxton, whose wife left him on "biblical grounds", i.e. cheating

LuckNorris Aug 29

well they voted for trump so are they not dumb enough? its debatable xd

EXCEPT you don't have to get your address validated before the election. You can resolve your suspense status at the polling place by completing a Statement of Residence. For voter ID, you can present one of the following: Texas driver's license, Texas Election Identification Certificate, Texas personal ID card, Texas handgun license, U.S. military ID with photograph, U.S. citizenship certificate with photograph, or U.S. passport (book or card). And if you don't possess one of those and cannot reasonably obtain one, you can fill out a Reasonable Impediment Declaration. The poll worker cannot question the reasonableness of your impediment, and you can still cast a regular ballot by presenting one of the following supporting documents: voter-registration certificate, certified birth certificate or other qualifying birth document, current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or another government document showing your name and address. So these 1.2 million people haven't lost their ability to vote, nor do they have to get their addresses validated before Election Day. They may have an additional paperwork step at the polls, which could still create some turnout friction, but THEY CAN STILL VOTE. Do not let them take away your Constitutional right.

ChetChetwick Aug 27

Texas is suspending 1.2 million voters leading up to the election, that's a big break for Paxton. Folks can try to get their addresses validated but I don't know how many of them are aware or can do it in time.

Teutonik Aug 27

LOL

AnEggplant Aug 27

LMAO this market still pricing this race as a tossup. Paxton could definitely win! But it's less likely than Talarico winning.

JustTheFacts Aug 27

This market doesn't reflect reality even considering the GOP cheat factor in Texas. Every day, Paxton loses more ground.

0xB7E3058376F9A009acEa708Fd2e1dbE9e3989b0e-1730181089284 Aug 27

The state is overwhelmed by boys in girls' sports and Sharia Law, and all Dems want to talk about is affordability, healthcare, and war!

hdtomo Aug 25

The markets are trying way too hard to stop Talarico pricing more than 50%...

ItsRigg3d Aug 24

Neither are gonna happen lol

Panic11 Aug 24

She needs to get onboard fast or the DNC might throw her to the wolves. The primary is over.

Panic11 Aug 24

This comes down to a few simple things: 1) is Talarico 3 points better than Beto was in ‘18 OR is Paxton 3 points worse that Cruz was? 2) is the political environment or demographic changes 3 points more favorable to Dems than ‘18? If either of those are yes Talarico wins. And that’s exactly what markets and polls are predicting. No amount of “Texas is red because Trump” copium will help with those facts.

Donnie1957 Aug 20

i agree that the 10,000 kids taking gender pills and the 10 men competing in women's sports are the biggest issues affecting america. me and homer are proud to be one-issue, low iq voters

Gman01 Aug 20

lol. Soo win with lies. Being a man of god is being accepting to all even if you disagree. Talarico should run adds with his mistress in London, and cheating on his wife. Being corrupt and being impeached by the Texas legislature. Not to mention let’s talk about republicans worrying about making Washington pretty while the war in Iran looks like there’s no end in site.

themightyslug Aug 18

You obviously can’t afford to buy a fucking clue. We consistently rank dead last nationally in healthcare, not because we don’t have the best hospitals and doctors, but because we have the lowest number of people with access.

MLBot Aug 18

You do nothing but lose on polymarket. Best of luck to you, though.

MLBot Aug 18

Our health care is great and I can EASILY afford everything I need.

sports1 Aug 16

Yeah that fake leftist moralizing doesn't work anymore. Welcome to 2026

themightyslug Aug 14

Oh yes. Please. Run those ads. I don’t know a single Texan who gives a fuck about trans kids or men in women’s sports at this particular moment. We want better health care and to be able to afford energy and groceries.

Homer1958 Aug 14

Paxton needs to start running ads. Many Texans don’t know about Talarico and his love for trans kids and men in women’s sports.

Paxton is to Texas as Keri Lake was to Arizona (if you don't know, look it up). She cost Arizona both a Senate AND Governor seat. And Paxton is so dirty, now Abbott is starting to do poorly in the polls as a knock on effect. Independents are disgusted that republicans elected Paxton over Cornyn in the primaries and are now questioning the entire Texas republican party. Cruz is VERY lucky he's not up for reelection.

President-XI Aug 13

a big fall of R

Enderossa Aug 12

clearly it does hahaha, texas wanst always red either

Gulgaio Aug 12

What do you mean. Trump ended that war at least 5 times... Win after win

JulioSigma Aug 12

makes no difference tbh. Texas is a red state and will REMAIN a red state. Never forget the golden rule: "Nothing Ever Happens"

Norco66 Aug 11

And he pardoned a pedo cant forget that one

JustTheFacts Aug 11

Maybe because he leads in every poll and MAGA is a trainwreck

JulioSigma Aug 11

what happened? it flipped? how is talarico in the lead now?

AnEggplant Aug 7

I’m sure that the guy who cheated on his taxes, cheated on his wife, committed voter fraud, and got impeached by his own party has no other scandals that will come to light in the next 3 months

kimjongun123 Aug 6

Crockett still trying her best to tank the Talarico campaign lol.

kimjongun123 Aug 6

The GOP usually doesn't have endless money. They usually get outraised by Dems, especially in '24, when Kamala spent almost double what Trump spent. This cycle is completely different though, most of those billionaires that gave money to Dems in previous cycles aren't doing so now, for a variety of pretty obvious reasons. They don't wanna get targeted by Trump, and they're probably frustrated by how their money was spent by Harris. The only advantage Dems have is their superior grassroots fundraising means individual candidates raise more, this doesn't mean nothing, but they can get swamped by PACs pretty easily. Trumps personal super pac has like half a billion dollars already. I guess it's possible that things tighten up over the next couple months, if some of those billionaires see a blue wave coming and want to be back in the good graces of a Dem Senate majority, but I don't know. On this race, Paxton is clearly a generationally bad candidate, and Talarico is pretty strong, so it might not matter. Another high quality poll today has him down. In any event, the GOP is going to have to spend more than they've ever spent on a race, but they have the capacity.

JustTheFacts Aug 6

I always hear how the GOP has endless money, yet Dems end up outraising them by election time. Dems have control of the financial capital of the world, the third largest economy in the world in Cali, and Hollywood. Kamala outraised Trump in a matter of weeks.

kimjongun123 Aug 6

Paxton's in trouble right now for sure, but I think the national party will bail him out. They've got endless money this cycle. Just a matter of who ends up having to take the hit, it's definitely gonna cost them a couple hundred million. I think his odds will get worse first, though.

PapaXeno Aug 6

thank you for providing me with enough to know to trade against you!

CalvinDay Aug 5

Yep. Petty much. And, I am not a Christian.

Cwwalters2002 Aug 5

Paxton needs 2018 Cruz voters to cross over or a depressed Democratic turnout to win. Neither seems likely. Talarico is a 80+% favorite.

Low IQ says the people that cant even tell what a woman is. Educated? Yea maybe in gender studies which you ppl still get wrong. Lmao

0x955ED7692D9F1622468F2dc438e95d2e3a5280A1-1779187167945 Jul 29

Hate filled? Which side is the one assassinating the other?

masnjr Jul 28

"Satan himself could run as a Republican in Texas, and Christian’s would still vote him into the senate simply because he’s not a Democrat"

JulioSigma Jul 26

genuinely, if Talarico was going against Cornyn tho he'd be cooked af

hdtomo Jul 25

James Talarico and Ken Paxton is textbook major candidate and subpar opponent

FCKU Jul 25

dems havent won a senate race there since like 1988 dude its like saying Republicans have a chance in NY like not really unless they have a major candidate and the other candidate is subpar (not the case)

hdtomo Jul 24

It's more likely than Ohio tbh
