Is The Curmudgeon John Cornyn Going To Back Talarico?

John Cornyn hints a vote for James Talarico.

Well Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) isn't putting her finger down for James Talarico. 

Just like Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI), Crockett isn't winning any of my support. These women are simping for that apartheid genocidial ethnostate and Democrats are going to find themselves in a reckoning come November.

If the Blue Wave does come, it comes with a price. 

Crockett faces heat for giving a Congressional Record to Chris Brown and Usher. She said they offer "Black joy" for Texans. The backlash is the endless temper tantrums which turn violent when Chris Brown get drunk, high or coked up. He is bipolar and hyperactive.

Crockett lost to Talarico in the March primary. She started her campaign late. She thought her fiery confrontations with President Donald J. Trump, Republican House members and the junk food media would be a key to victory. 

Nope.

James Talarico managed to pick up John Cornyn's campaign coordinators.

Critics and strategists cited an unfocused campaign organization with an insufficient ground game and virtually nonexistent get-out-the-vote efforts.

Her media strategy relied too heavily on national social media presence rather than building broad traditional statewide name recognition.

Talarico built a broader "big-tent" movement that performed strongly in urban liberal areas like Austin, expanded into rural and deep-red parts of the state, and won over key demographics such as white and Hispanic voters.

Crockett faced criticism that her more combative, nationally recognized style and past remarks were out of step with the wider statewide electorate needed to win a general election in red Texas.

Well over in the Republican side, Karl Rove has publicly denounced Bo French, the Republican candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner. He endorsed his Democratic opponent Jon Rosenthal. 

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), the outgoing member reposted The Wall Street Journal opinion page which Rove, a former political hitman for former George W. Bush stated in over 30 years as a full fledge Republican he couldn't bring himself to vote for a candidate that poses a threat to Republican outreach to minority groups. French made horrific remarks about South Asians and Blacks as they were celebrating Texas Longhorns comeback victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes.

This doofus Ken Paxton is likely to win. Can the predictions be wrong?

Cornyn signaled alignment with Rove's position. This move deepens a massive fissure within the Texas GOP following the highly contentious Republican primary runoff earlier this year, where Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated the incumbent Cornyn following a late endorsement from President Donald J. Trump.

Talarico’s campaign has actively capitalized on the internal Republican divide. He recently hired Jacob Smith—Cornyn's former deputy legislative director—to serve as his deputy policy director. Polling indicates that as many as one in three Republicans who voted for Cornyn in the primary runoff now plan to vote for Talarico in the general election.

If Cornyn does cross the line, it could make some impact on the election. 

I still have this race at Solid Republican. It will have to take a crucial moment for Talarico to at least get me to change my honest take on the race.

Joe Manchin, the former West Virginia senator who is an independent but caucus with the Democrats during his time cross party to endorse curmudgeons Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in Maine and Mike Rogers in Michigan senate races.

If you want to protect the status quo, vote for Ken Paxton.

If you want a candidate that can work to solve problems and work effectively, vote for James Talarico.
