1. He is so righteous

I cannot believe Texans are falling for that feminine crap the repuke party is spewing. Jesus, what is wrong with those people??

2. I don't think so....

it appears that republicans have decided to vote for him, well at least more than usual 🙃

3. He is behind right now by 2 points

He was up 2 points two weeks ago. The attacks are working.

4. He was never ahead two points in this poll

Different polls have different samples and metrics used for their results. But yeah: the attacks are definitely helping consolidate Paxtons base.

While concerning, Talarico still has a large warchest and innovative strategies to combat the massive superpac money and billions in propaganda being spent against him. In short: He's only getting started.

5. I saw a poll that had him ahead 2 points after the primary

He has a hard path ahead of him. I contributed 25$. I am going to try to do the same before June 30th.

6. They are mixed

Hes been behind 2 points and ahead as far as 8 since the primary.

8. Sarah Longwell on The Bulwark podcast had a focus group recently

and it seems like independent and right-leaning voters are considering him "the lesser of two evils" because they dislike his support of trans people, hate that he said God is non-binary, etc etc etc. However, they are appalled by Paxton's corruption, so they're willing to vote for Talarico or stay home -- it's a default decision, but it's just perverse considering that Talarico has been so moderate about virtually everything in his career. So just emphasize his moderation while having outside groups run constant ads about Paxton's criminality.

7. This poll, that poll....

“Drowning”, the title of this ad, is what so many voters are facing and Talarico is hammering that home. Hopefully, more and more voters are listening.

9. I have a 37 year old son that is a Christian

He lives outside of Dallas (now he does, but he grew up in So Cal). He goes to church every Sunday. And is truly a Christian man. He is thoughtful, loving, and generous. But he has been a Trump supporter since 2016. He has skewed ideas about immigration and really is uninformed. He doesn't see any problem with having an id to vote. He doesn't understand what is behind it. He is busy working and raising two small children. He is in the 1 percent. I don't see him voting for Talarico and it makes me so sad.

11. How does he feel about bombing schools in Iran,

enabling genocide in Palestine, and building concentration camps here in the US? Any "Christian" thoughts on that?

I live in the suburbs of Houston and know many like him. Many work in the Oil and Gas industry in some way - whether it's trading, pipeline, etc. The whole "I'm a Christian" thing and being "thoughtful, loving, and generous" doesn't really hold up when you see what they are willing to support (even if they are supporting it through inaction).
