I like Talarico and belive he will win. But, I didn't like him dodging [View all] Rafi May 27 OP

Let's show some common sense here pinkstarburst May 27 #1

Yup, no need to give him soundbites that he will alter/distort, GoCubsGo May 27 #8

So just ignore issues you have taken a stand on to cower? Rafi Thursday #67

Why don't you run for office? yardwork Thursday #88

It's clear actually winning elections is a tertiary priority for you. BannonsLiver Thursday #91

What's supposed to be the issue on transgender children? appmanga Thursday #103

I would even argue that it would not be a smart move in CA or NY Ursus Rex May 27 #17

Exactly FHRRK1 May 27 #22

the attention transgender people gets far exceeds the percentage of the population (because it is a smoke screen) JT45242 May 27 #52

Yup FHRRK1 May 27 #54

Don't forget the idiots whining about him being the "deporter in chief" fujiyamasan May 27 #65

He doesn't need to. He needs to turn every question about trans into an attack on Paxton & their failed policies themaguffin Thursday #98

Exactly! yardwork Thursday #99

He should keep dodging it leftstreet May 27 #2

Yes! Why let Paxton and his goon squad set the narrative? peggysue2 May 27 #19

He didn't dodge it MorbidButterflyTat May 27 #43

The fn psychos aren't going to vote for him anyway. Jesus. Rafi Thursday #69

Again, I urge you to run for office. yardwork Thursday #94

Hes said all he needs to about his support for LGBT folks SSJVegeta May 27 #4

Talarico is trying to avoid Beto's mistakes. dalton99a May 27 #5

Exactly! DFW May 27 #10

The ads they ran against Kamala Harris doomed her campaign imo. yardwork Thursday #97

Talarico knows that the only way that Paxton can win is to focus on cultural issues. walkingman May 27 #6

I'm all in for Talarico, he should avoid this topic MagickMuffin May 27 #7

+1. Democrats should focus on winning issues, not losing issues. dalton99a May 27 #9

Avoiding Trans issues worked well for Harris. maxsolomon May 27 #60

Literally because she had no winning message besides "im a fighter and trump is awful" SSJVegeta Thursday #81

It's Texas. No Dem "has this in the bag". maxsolomon Monday #113

I did do a doubletake, however, when Talarico called Paxton Totally Tunsie May 27 #18

Paxton is the most corrupt politician currently running for office. Ocelot II May 27 #26

I actually think Paxton gives Trump a run for his money. In It to Win It May 27 #30

If he had the power Trump has, he could probably be just as corrupt. Ocelot II May 27 #31

However, Talarico DIDN'T use that modifier. Totally Tunsie May 27 #32

True, but Trump is a tough act to follow. Ocelot II May 27 #47

So what? Why does that matter? NoRethugFriends May 27 #51

No kidding GenThePerservering Thursday #75

That's how we win elections. yardwork Thursday #100

Paxton? Absolutely! In It to Win It May 27 #29

YMMV Totally Tunsie May 27 #33

"20 Years of Scandals & Headlines" re Ken Paxton TBF May 27 #35

Talk to the people of New York... Totally Tunsie May 27 #41

Why not listen to the whole interview? MorbidButterflyTat May 27 #44

Trump is the most corrupt politician in the entire world, not just America. sop May 27 #36

Paxton and trump both have mug shots, both seem proud MerryBlooms May 27 #64

We need to win elections. We can fight bigotry and still not take the bait during campaigns. FascismIsDeath May 27 #20

With the destruction of our Democracy in the balance I may lean towards the needs of the many NoMoreRepugs May 27 #37

+1. Democrats must focus on pocketbook issues. dalton99a May 27 #57

Any follow up, OP? MorbidButterflyTat May 27 #38

Yeah, I'll stand by what I posted. When you run and hide Rafi Thursday #72

So, you're saying that our party's nominee is dumb? That he's a coward? That he's "toast"? QueerDuck Thursday #107

Does illustrating "cajones" (sic) entail engaging in the conversation one started? Torchlight May 27 #39

Learn from Beto down here Melon May 27 #40

Sounds like he's being smart. mzmolly May 27 #46

Oh please! jrthin May 27 #48

That was exactly my reaction to the interview last night. Sogo May 27 #49

It's more important to win than to be perfect. Pointing out things like this... QueerDuck May 27 #50

Be perfect? I'm saying state your position plainly and stand by it. Rafi Thursday #76

Oh good grief! Why amplify it for them? Why help to "make it an issue"? QueerDuck Thursday #83

This is really naive, IMO Happy Hoosier Thursday #86

You are correct Keepthesoulalive Thursday #78

With all respect to Lawrence, it's a dumb question mcar May 27 #53

Bingo! I was just going to post that just because a crazy GOPer Nixie May 27 #56

Lawrence O'Donnell shouldn't have asked twice karynnj May 27 #61

Maybe he should advocate for taxpayer funded gender reassignment surgeries for prisoners fujiyamasan May 27 #62

He's running in Texas, not California Jose Garcia May 27 #63
