Jessica Tarlov rushed in to play defense for Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race, basically admitting the guy’s vibe isn’t exactly a slam-dunk winner against Ken Paxton.
No, really? You don't say? Texans aren't into possibly gay vegans who share a checking account with their mother? Get out of here.
Her big idea? Ignore all that and talk about cost of living and healthcare, which Democrats aren't exactly good at either.

Hot Latina girlfriend. Really, Jessica?
And maybe it's just us, but this doesn't really help Talarico, especially in Texas. She might be able to play the 'hey, so what if he's a weirdo who thinks God is nonbinary, he will make the evil rich people pay more in taxes' card in a state like Virginia, but NOT Texas.

Ken Paxton has been elected state wide 3 times by Texans who knew about many of these false "scandals". Talarico is a weak candidate and not representative of the state. Tarlov is just showing she knows nothing of the politics here.
