A word on Crockett/Talarico

Whoever wins gets my dollars.
Whoever wins shall get every last vote that can be gotten in the midterms
Whoever wins needs the support of every freedom loving person in the United States of America.
Whoever wins doesn't need the PUMA or I didn't get my pony bullshit.

You back whichever candidate wins either with a vote if you're a Texan or with money if you're not.

If the runner up doesn’t support the winner strongly in the General, we’ll know they weren’t worthy of the top slot.

I'm in Houston. I've seen polls go back and forth, this one's wide open.

The good news I can give you, esp. if you're not a Texan, is that so far, we've had more people request blue ballots than red in this primary. That's pretty much unheard of down here.

we're not used to everyone asking for a dem ballot! Open primary here so that's exciting no matter who "wins". Taking on Paxton/Cornyn is the harder job, and we will need all hands on deck for sure.

I'm in Missouri, so can't vote in this one.....if I were somehow slipped a ballot, I might be tempted.............

but, no. Just $$. And moral support.

That the Republican party in Texas has been urging their folks to vote for Crockett, because they think she will be easier to beat in the general election.

We shall see.

But you're right that I don't live in Texas. I have seen reporting to that effect. That's all.

When you say "whoever wins doesn't need the PUMA or I didn't get my pony bullshit" do you mean from Crockett supporters?

Clear, no? Dems sometimes have a bad habit of f'ing themselves with petty whining.

it's a common refrain that comes along with a certain endorsement today. We'll see what happens.

She takes nothing from no one, tells it as it really is, and has no problem associating Trump with EVERYTHING. She's proven herself over and over and over again.

for the U.S. Senate. A tough primary choice for many, I'm sure. Come November, the choice will be MUCH easier!!!
