He’s doing basic stuff that’s extraordinary today because so many people running for office or holding office are not even mediocre. But I’m glad he’s doing it. He’s classing the field up and we certainly need it!

Please God let this man make it to the Senate he is so smooth and honestly just seems like a wonderful human being I can imagine him with a new class of senators trying to help the country heal and getting some s*** done

That guy is good-and I'm an atheist! If Talarico doesn't win, I wonder if any Democrat could.

How he restrains himself from saying "Are you fucking kidding me?" to Paxton supporters is Herculean.

Looks like that time in seminary school is paying big dividends. He has the patience of a saint and the oratory skills of Obama.

Good show, James.

If I was Ken Paxton, I'd shoot myself before getting on a stage face-to-face in a debate with Senator -to-be James Talafreako - as in "freaking nightmare for Republicans everywhere."

We raise millions, they raise billions. Makes a tough race.

Wow, either my blood sugar is low or I just felt this weird feeling of hope. Say, isn’t there a Bible verse about how to brew up an abortifactent?

Talarico's superiority over the loathsome Paxton is settled. What is not settled is whether this is really enough to turn Texas ethical on this senator slot. I remain very skeptical. It will say something about Texas if the criminal beats the seminary student. But not something surprising. You don't have to look deeply into US history—say, most of the post-Civil-War voting history from Texas to Georgia for about 100 years—to see that hypocrisy about Christian matters has rarely been a problem at the polls.

Common sense vs fear mongering. That’s the real choice voters across the country have

As a resident of Texas, I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to have a candidate that actually answers questions with relevant responses and doesn’t blame non-whites for all the State’s problems (and there are many). Now if only Texas would reject Governor Hot Wheels and that arch fascist piece of shit Dan Patrick.

No matter how much Paxton and Elon fuck with the votes, they can’t beat a landslide. Roll Blue Tide (yes, I know that’s an Alabama reference not Texas, but I stand by it)!

Ken Paxton might introduce a secret weapon, like more of his famous sex appeal or integrity!

much more likely to "glitch" registration, throw out ballots and arrest people for voting, really.

Like...Texas is currently doing

Lets hope Ken doesn't unleash his high energy!
