Talarico is running an anti-system campaign that could be very appealing to indies & Trump voters (who you need to win in a Trump +14 state). By highlighting positions that are not correlated with left-right ideology, he can attract right-leaning voters. Smart www.gelliottmorris.com/p/meet-ameri...
