I think talrico is a better overall candidate for Texas. I absolutely love representative crockett and that she calls out bullshit, but the get out the vote for Democrats in Texas sucks. Talrico could swipe a ton of votes from the Republican core.

I was not shocked that there had been a bleeding of Black men, and I was not shocked that there had been a bleeding of Latinos. I remember the first time Latinos let me down, in Florida with Hillary. When I saw how many Hispanics as a whole had voted, like they were voting in these big numbers, I was like, Oh, we gonna get Florida, so we good—we got Florida. Wrong. Absolutely wrong. And in my later years, I’ve learned about all the complexities within the Latino community. You know, as somebody who’s in Texas, who has traveled Texas and campaigns in South Texas specifically, and have people calling me during this election from South Texas, I can say that the immigration thing has always been something that has perplexed me about this community. It’s basically like, I fought to get here, but I left y’all where I left y’all and I want no more y’all to come here. If I wanted to be with y’all, I would stay with y’all, but I don’t want ya’ll coming to my new home.

That is my distilled summary of what happens within the Latino community. I’ve not run into that with the Asian community. I’ve not run into that with the African community. I’ve not run into that with the Caribbean community. I’ve only run into it with Hispanics. When they think of “illegals,” they think of, you know, maybe people that came out of the cartels and that kind of, like, the criminal-type book or whatever. It’s insane. It almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about kind of like “slave mentality” and the hate that some slaves would have for themselves. It’s almost like a slave mentality that they have. It is wild to me when I hear how anti-immigrant they are as immigrants, many of them. I’m talking about people that literally just got here and can barely vote that are having this kind of attitude.

Where is the lie?

When she says “people who regret voting for Trump” she means Hispanics and black MAGA. Which is a good strategy considering white people are not the majority in Texas. Add women and that’s a winning demographic of people actually vote. Her problem is centrism and relying on Trump’s incompetence instead of policy.
