    I like Crockett for being a bit of a firecracker. She’s smart, she knows the law, and knows the exact right spots to push on to point out the obvious corruption of the right. She seems incorruptible.

    Talarico has a softer approach, isn’t as combative, and leans on his faith a bit much I would say. I would say he probably plays better in Texas politics than Crockett might. He also seems incorruptible.

    Two different personalities who are both qualified for what we need right now, but two different tools in a toolbox.

      Crockett denies Isreals war crimes so for many that’s a non-starter. Though neither are perfect, I believe Talarico has committed to stopping offensive weapons transfers. I think he is marginally more progressive.

      However both but especially crockett are still kinda mainstream Dems, Crockett does have the benefit of being on the house oversight committee and had good questioning to Pam bondi. She has a lot of the smoke, but her policies are same old same old.

      Tal has a big up against crockett that will play big come the general election here in Texas.

      Talerico is a white male. Crockett isn’t. This is Texas we are talking about and, as disappointing it is to say, it will play a massive role in an already uphill battle. He’s just more electable at face value for that fact alone.

      I like both candidates, tal gets the edge for his funding methods to be sure, but the electability argument is a big one when you are talking about a Senate seat that hasn’t been held by a dem since LBJ.

      Didn’t she take money from AIPAC, while Talarico is reportedly not funded at all by them?
