Texas Democratic state Representative James Talarico placed first – and almost certainly cleared 50 percent to win outright – in Tuesday night’s primary to try to be the first D to win a statewide race in the Lone Star State, defeating Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who is great and would’ve made a damn fine Senator in a perfect world. Seriously she is wickedly funny and sharp and let’s hope this isn’t the last of her. She will be missed in next year’s House Oversight Committee hearings.
Talarico, a damn talented seminarian who speaks fluent Christian, is either a SERIOUS contender against Picasso-face Attorney General Ken Paxton or a longshot against incumbent Senator John Cornhole Cornyn, who is putting up a considerably harder-than-expected fight against Pax and currently leading, though Paxton is expected to pull ahead when the count is all said and done.
