👉Talarico can't win unless he can convince moderate Republicans to cross over to vote Democrat. His targets of choice are people who are easily persuadable because they don't realize they are being grifted and people who aren't really convicted of Republican values. May God have mercy on our souls.

There is not a single number on here that looks good for Republicans. Every metric is going the wrong direction. Rural vote is down. Hispanics voting more and more democratic. 65+ voting less. Young people voting more. Rs showing up less than normal. It’s all bad.

President Trump says "I looked at his ass and I've never done that with a man before," in reference to Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH). He also says "off the record," he does so for women: "By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj."

As Queen of Rap @NICKIMINAJ walked up the steps to join President Trump on stage, he graciously extended his hand to help her up. Trump then walked with her to the podium and even gave her a pat on the back. Gentlemen, take notes. God bless Trump and Nicki.🙏

This from @longhornderek’s latest report (Texas voting thru Friday) is again one of those things where, if Dems flip Texas, people will think it was obvious all along mcusercontent.com/d3064a2fad…

Cooper’s Old Time Pit BBQ in New Braunfels, which hosted Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz for a GOTV event Saturday, says: “We are not in the business of endorsing political candidates. This is the action of a rogue employee and was not authorized by ownership.” facebook.com/share/18fTEGVot…

.@JamesTalarico: Every man at some point in his life is going to lose a battle — but what makes him a man is that in the midst of that battle, he doesn’t lose himself. This is the last play of the last drive. This is the moment we leave it all on the field. We are the underdogs. It’s David versus Goliath. It’s the powers that be versus the powers that ought to be, and it’s time for us to start flipping over some tables. Because, as every Texan knows: clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.

Yesterday, I got to meet and talk with @iamthelmalouise. Yes, there was a mistaken identity, but @KenPaxtonTX met her on the bus, talked with her and apologized for what happened. I just have to say, I love her, and now I have a new friend for life. She's amazing and we just had a wonderful event.

Elon Musk has given Greg Abbott $500K in campaign cash. Musk's companies have received $1.6 billion in tax incentives and $30 million in grants funded by Texas taxpayers. Texans deserve to know what else he's gotten in return.
