Democrat James Talarico’s bid to flip Texas’s U.S. Senate seat has leaned in hard on the idea of Republican crossover voters fed up with the status quo.

The campaign leaned into the moment, highlighting the “Republican Moms” narrative as evidence of broad appeal in a state that hasn’t sent a Democrat to the Senate in decades.
There's just one big problem ...
RIP "Republicans for Talarico"

Democrats.
Not Republicans.
The lie fits a pattern. Democrats eyeing Texas have long courted the “disaffected Republican” demographic, only for the examples on offer to look more like reliable progressive voters wearing temporary labels.
But hey, nice try, losers.
