Could James Talarico be any dorkier or any less like an actual red-blooded Texan man?
Odd detail in new Talarico ad. He drives a Chevy Colorado, which has appeared in other ads and in profiles.

But here he's driving a Dodge Ram 1500. And it's not hard to spot; you can see the plate, which is linked to an Enterprise rental.
Was his car in the shop or something?… pic.twitter.com/CeBPmhcZQr
He literally rented a truck for his latest ad. Cringe.
LMAOOOO

TALARICO RENTED A TRUCK FROM ENTERPRISE FOR HIS AD TO LOOK LIKE A REAL TEXAN https://t.co/kDdGYWg7xF
He needs to turn in his Texan man card.

At least it’s wasn’t an f-350 dually or something

That would have been too noticeable.
Because the Colorado is a midsize and the Ram 1500 is a full size. It's Texas, everything has to be big.

They think the trappings of normal people's lives are props.

John would have been absolutely giddy by this content. Maybe he sent it to us because he wanted us to have some fun.
Lot of people in the replies crying about “why does this matter, who cares, focus on the issues!” as if Talarico coming off as a bizarre little vegan weirdo who’s trying to LARP as a “Texan” isn’t a major issue for him and his campaign https://t.co/xchOKi6Ngz

It matters when politicians are pretending to be something they aren't in order to get elected. It speaks to their character and integrity.
Why is James talarico dodging questions about the rental truck in his TV ad? https://t.co/jUYlZXpPfi

Probably because it's super embarrassing.

They had to create him in a lab. There is no way he is a human boy.
Subaru Outback was in the shop. https://t.co/wCxkZUzBHw

That comment will outrage lesbians across America.
He's so manufactured, but defective. Like B-stock speakers. https://t.co/9fJZMolQcn

Narrator -- there is of course a ZERO percent chance that his "car was in the shop"

What's remarkable is that @JasmineForUS may have been the more electable candidate for #TXSEN https://t.co/YevsoDHFDi
The old 'my other car is in the shop' excuse.
