      why can’t we have them both in the senate? these are two of America’s best representatives

      Talarico really is gaining momentum. I really think he has a shot of turning Texas blue

      Texas Tribune has Crockett ahead in their Feb. 2 to Feb. 16 poll.
      „Crockett garnered the support of 56% of voters, while Talarico got 44%.“

      „Crockett had a massive advantage with Black voters, drawing 87% support. The Dallas congresswoman also led among seniors and voters without a college degree.Talarico had a narrow advantage with white voters — winning them by only 6 percentage points — while Hispanic voters were a virtual tossup, with Crockett leading by 4 points.“

      The Impact poll at the latintimes .com link was conducted Feb. 10 to 12th

      He has the best chance of winning the general election.

      Given the possible run-off and chaos in the GOP primary, he could end up facing Paxton.

      He has a decent shot.

      I’m Canadian so I’d never heard of this guy but after the Colbert thing I found some clips of him at different events….and he’s really good. 

      He can talk about his religion without shoving it down people’s throats.  He has a good speaking voice, sounds sensible.  Gave a very good explanation why there needs to 
      be separation between church and state….and he’s got charisma.

      He’s really got the whole package.

      Is there any way he could run for President in 3 years…or is he just too far down the list of possibles?

      Are we trusting polls these days? I feel like that whole issue was never analyzed fully or resolved. I truly don’t know where polling accuracy stands.

      These polls being released by each campaign this week: *snip, snap, snip, snap, snip, snap*

      Texas resident here. I really like both candidates. Voting for Talarico in the primary because I feel he has a better chance in the general, but would proudly vote for Crockett if she wins.

    12. LilLebowskiAchiever on

      Given Texas’ large population, it really should have more than 2 Senators. I wish both could win.

      Excerpts from an article in The Atlantic  below 

      For Talarico, bipartisan appeal is kind of the whole ball game. In his first election to the Texas state House, he flipped a Republican district. 

      Brad Ingram, who wore a cowboy hat and held his fiancée’s pink purse while she posed for a photo with Talarico, told me he’d voted for Trump before but wouldn’t do it again. “Being a fellow Christian, love is central to what we believe,” he said. “Republicans and the MAGA movement have gotten away from that.” 

      A group of nine women in their 40s had come to the rally together; many of their husbands were Trump supporters, they told me, but they themselves wanted a change, and they were hopeful that Talarico might reach some of their family members. One woman told me that her conservative teenage son had recently called Talarico his “GOAT,” short for the “greatest of all time.” Talarico’s “message of hope is appealing to everybody, because everybody’s just tired of the negativity,” Faye Comte, one of the women in the group, told me.

      Patrick Bonds, an 84-year-old Vietnam veteran, cried as he explained to me that he’d voted Republican all his life but that Trump was “ruining this country.” Bonds is voting for Talarico, he said, because “his thinking is more like me; his behavior is more like me. The way he holds himself is more like me.”

      Two great candidates. Good thing there’s a primary, so the Democratic voters can choose.

    18. Recent_Tap_9467 on

      At this point, Democrats should know better than to base their voting decisions solely on polls. Polls have so far [provided conflicting information](https://www.fox7austin.com/news/texas-primary-conflicting-polls-show-how-several-key-races-too-close-call) with regard to the Democratic primary (and YMMV, but it’s apparently not new for Texas), and that’s not even considering the impact they have on people’s attitudes. For all it’s worth, [Media Bias/Fact Check](https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/impact-research-bias-and-credibility/) rates Impact Research “as Left-Center Biased based on polling that moderately favors the left“, as well as a “Mostly Factual pollster based on a B- rating in predictive polling.“

      I will say the poll favoring Crockett took place *before* the cancellation of the Colbert interview with Talarico went viral, the one favoring him *after*. The first poll also had a large 5-point margin of error.

    19. NotAnotherEmpire on

      Internal-type poll vs. <400 sample, +/- 5.1 point poll. Pick your poison.

    24. Caca_Face420 on

      No hating on crocket, she is great for Dallas. Talarico is great for Texas

    25. GeneralOptimal10 on

      I believe the UT poll with Crockett up 5-6% was before the primaries and before Colbert.

    27. masonjar014 on

      Lol there was a post this morning saying the exact opposite. Who knows… just vote for who you want.

    30. jonny_blitz on

      Who the hell knows. I just read another article that she was ahead by triple. I don’t care who wins so long as the Dems don’t fuck themselves.

    31. EzekielYeager on

      I saw just the opposite this morning, and it was claimed as double digits.

      Which one is it?

    34. CutSenior4977 on

      That’s who I voted for, awesome to hear about!

      I truly do think both are statesmen of principle and honor, but I voted for Talarico as I believe not only is Talarico more electable, but their also what the country needs right now.

      I believe Talarico more electable not because of race(we did have a black president who served 2 terms afterall), but because Talarico more of a unifying figure than Crockett, with their more level headed personality and religious background,

      as opposed to Crockett who while I certainly do respect her fiery spirit, never backing down when opposing the Trump administration, I feel as though it’s more important to elect a figure who actively seeks to unite our fellow countrymen above all else,

      But what do you all think?

    35. alabasterskim on

      No offense but this is an internal. Not that great for gathering info. However actual polling post-Colbert is starting to look in his favor

    36. SoulTaker669 on

      It sucks to see Democrats fighting amongst each other and even having toxic arguments towards each other because they want their favor to win when it comes to these two.

      If I’m being honest, James has a higher chance of somehow getting Texas to vote Democrat and have at least one blue seat in the Senate. I feel like he’s more appeasing to moderates and even some white Republicans might be willing to flip for him compared to Jasmine.

    37. Training_Medicine_49 on

      I really think this is the test. I have no ill Will to either one of the candidates in the Democratic primary. I am one that believes it is great to have different, dynamic individuals in a race because it does so much to activate the whole base in the diversity of that base. So while some people say oh it’s gonna be a tough race that is bad in reality is actually the best thing that could happen for the Democrats. And if James is able to make it through the primary, it actually demonstrates, he is strong enough to probably win the Senate. I think that if he doesn’t make it out of the primary, it means that he has not shored up a particular constituency group that he ultimately will need no matter how much he is able to appeal to independents or center right people he still will have to have a part of that base to show out for him. So while the media is trying to portray this as something bad, or this is gonna cost the Democrats, I think this is a good opportunity to show the vibrancy of democracy. Whoever will win, will be so much better than the Republican candidate. And everyone should get behind that candidate.

    38. Bar_Sinister on

      I just saw a poll yesterday that said she was winning. Can we get the story straight, please? As long as one of them can take the seat, great. But let’s be strategic here.

    40. ThinMint31 on

      800 person sample size. I agree that JT is gaining momentum but these polls are useless. Polls are useless

    41. weeverrm on

      I have a hard time believing it. Hopefully it is true we have a lot of people making it very great down here

    42. everythingbeeps on

      Literally today I saw a headline saying she was beating him soundly.

      Polls are meaningless.

    43. Goofygrrrl on

      I voted in the primary today. Had some issues, but the poll workers were able to call a higher up to make it happen (I changed my last name recently). They had the room separated into Democratic side and Republican side. I was pleasantly surprised by how many people were on the democratic side.

    44. ALaccountant on

      I’m glad he’s winning and not Crockett, I really don’t want our front runner to be someone who said something along the lines of „We’re going to lose anyway, so might as well vote for me“. That’s not the energy we need

    45. phantom_metallic on

      And a couple of days ago polls showed Crockett beating Talarico by ~12%. Mind you, the polling data stopped on Feb 16th, the day before the Cobert interview.

      Don’t listen to polls, just support who you support and live with the results.
