Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico shared a stage with billionaire Mark Cuban in Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday. The two discussed healthcare and taxes while The Five’s Jessica Tarlov moderated. Talarico says he’s a big fan of billionaires who love taxes and don’t mind being silenced by Democrats such as himself.
Good luck getting Cuban to shut up. (WATCH)

I wouldn't wish this discussion panel on my worst enemies.

Okay, maybe I would but I would pity them.
Did he just say "Give me more money and shut the hell up?" Cause that sure is what that quote implies.

That’s pretty much it.
Talarico says he is pro-capitalist and wants to help small businesses in the Lone Star state. Which doesn’t ring true because small businesses fled California for Texas because of the Democrat Party policies Talarico will fully support if elected. (WATCH)

Understand something about these socialist Democrats.
When they say tax the rich, their definition of "rich" is anyone with a job paying taxes.
They believe they can decide how much of your hard-earned money you can keep.
He's already voted for a state income tax and voted for the death tax.
Anyone voting for this guy needs to have their head examined.

Nothing is stopping pro-Talarico billionaires from donating money to the U.S. government. No special tax is needed.
Mark Cuban says Talarico is ethical and of great character. (WATCH)

(post continues) ...together and you can trust him for anything”
Cuban: “Trust Talarico for anything. Character is destiny.”Talarico on tape: God is nonbinary. Six biological sexes. “A Christian who hates Christianity.” Jesus was a radical feminist. Border = welcome mat. Campaign went vegan. Now it’s brisket.
He walked it back when he needed Texas. Cuban is selling the walk-back. The quotes are the character.

Cuban endorsed Kamala and Talarico wants our border to be a welcome mat...No thanks.

How did that endorsement work for Kamala?
