A vote for Talarico is about as moronic a decision as humanly possible. It’s like having a splinter in your thumb and cutting your hand off. Actually, it’s closer to taking a **** and putting the log on a hotdog bun and eating it. Stupid AF.

You have lost the right to insult Rifle with his voting record or beliefs !

I no longer bet, but I DO donate to places like Tunnel to Tower, where the funds are spent on US servicemen and servicewomen !

Make the bet THE DONATION and you can still beat your chest !

I'd make it a bet for a donation to Tunnels to Tower. No issue with that. TJ will have to take it though.

A lot of Rs will go down with the crap they are pulling. Somehow Talarico supporters believe these unprecedented moves by Rs with an R president are perfectly OK.

Train - you are still a Republican, but the people who put them in power are sick of their crap.

Turn in this US Flag to your local VFW and replace it with one not torn !

LaMegan type crowd !

Simple minds would say this is proof that global warming is real.

Minds that think would know that the Polar ice IS EXPANDING !

Simple is as simple does.

"Waterworld" factoid....the Great Lakes store enough water to cover Continental US with 10 feet of water.

 

[BigWill]

It is. Just like the propaganda you shared yesterday.

Keep celebrating the prospects of 2 million more people and data centers in Arizona.

Which uses more water ?

One cow or one person or one data cubicle 6 X 6 ?

This attitude is why the future of Arizona will have fewer American farmers, and more H1B visa holders.

Is a farmer one who raises lettuce or cows ?

As for Democrats, who says they are wholly composed of highly educated voters? They ain't. In fact, their worst voters are typically their most educated, their base voters often their most rational (in the GOP, it's largely the opposite).

Who are these voters?

Both

Wow, this guy is good! I may need to consider they/ him.



If I were a major leftwing donor, I would invest in a better candidate in another state, but they love to light money on fire in Texas

Keep reassuring your-selves that he is a horrible candidate and that the soundbite ad RW media is posting will kill his campaign.

Who are these voters?

The Democratic activist class is both the most educated piece of the Dem coalition and undeniably the worst group of like-minded folks in it. These are often the blue hairs you are irritated about.

The more educated a Republican, statistically the higher income and perhaps the more traditional conservative (economic freedom, socially right of center but not far right). Republicans now have a more ideologically diverse coalition, but their base voters are probably the most extreme of such groups (the GOP base historically is less educated than some other coalition members and more religious, with the addition of MAGA it will be interesting how things unfold there post-Trump).

Yes, they are betting that he won't come off as super radical in spite of his past nonsense, and that Paxton will be toxic once he gets nuked. We'll see.

The fact that the MAGA diehards are coming out guns blazing against Talarico - and not whoever is running against Abbott, I couldn't name that person this second - is because they are very worried about Paxton. And if he loses when the two alternatives (Cornyn/Hunt) were very likely winners, uh oh.

Nominating Ken Paxton is a huge gamble for basically nothing but a headache in DC, where Paxton will cause everyone trouble without any meaningful benefit over every other option in existence.
