Today's PoliClips - Trump’s TX Bind, Abbott’s Slim Margin, TX Latinos Fed Up
A Democrat winning statewide in Texas is a tough uphill fight, but @jamestalarico.bsky.social leads what will be Dems best statewide slate in years. And Republicans know it.
That's why we're seeing panicky attacks on Talarico from all these insecure Rs, from Greg Abbott to paid-to-hate MAGA trolls.
"Don’t count on a Trump endorsement of John Cornyn as the miracle cure for a 'Dead Senator Walking.' Even if Cornyn survives past the May 26th run-off, the Nov. 3rd General Election will likely be his political expiration date."
Dive deeper with @lspmatt.bsky.social's latest analysis on substack ⬇️
Criminal Ken Paxton says he’s HONORED to be endorsed by this self-proclaimed PREDATOR Ted Nugent
An anti-Furry pastor. A gun-toting Youtuber. An Islamophobic Twitter troll. The guy who secretly bought Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico ranch. Ken Paxton. A quick look at the Texas primary, in which the once-fringe far right further proved that they are the new GOP mainstream:
Don't buy Greg Abbott's tax lies.
30 years of Republican control has forced Texas families to pay some of the highest taxes in the country.
Paxton is afraid that he won't get Trump's endorsement so he's relying on an endorsement from a different p3dophile instead!
@jamestalarico.bsky.social terrifies TX Republicans.
And Greg Abbott is looking to do anything to distract from the hard fact that TX property tax collections have risen EVERY year he's been Governor - along with insurance, healthcare premiums & utility payments. Abbott is in your wallet.

Trump endorsing John Cornyn will surely help him in the run-off, but it's another inescapable MAGA stain that he will have carry into the fall if nominated.
Cornyn is in political no man’s land. He’s traded the stature of a statesman for the stench of a soulless Trump sidekick.
Greg Abbott completely botching the Comptroller appointment must have Republicans grinding their teeth.
First, he appoints Hancock, which creates an open Senate seat that Democrat Taylor Rehmet goes on to flip. THEN, Hancock doesn't even make a run-off against Abbott's arch foe, Don Huffines...
You ran an incredible race, @jasmineforus.bsky.social.
Texas is so lucky to have you in the fight, and I'm lucky to call you a friend.
We've come a long way since the House floor, @jamestalarico.
Congratulations on your victory! Can't wait to make history with you in November.
Thank you, Texas! I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for Governor of our beautiful state. Together, we’re going to take on corruption and it’s going to be a new day in TX.
You have put your faith in me, and I promise to put my all into fighting for you and your families. On to November!

12 months ago, @lspmatt.bsky.social dubbed John Cornyn a "dead senator walking." Nothing since then—early voting included—suggests otherwise.
Highly doubt anything today will either...

Be wary of TX Democratic primary early vote analysis that assumes more & new voters automatically mean expansion/momentum in the fall.
An emotional Senate primary is underway. Keeping momentum requires the losing side to concede gracefully & actively engage in the fall race.
Tomorrow, Texas votes. What will the results mean for November? 🗳️
Join LSP Director Matt Angle & Courier Texas on Wednesday, March 4 at 12 PM CT for a deep-dive into the primary results and what they signal for the path to the midterms.

Don't worry, the people who shot down their own $30M drone assure us they've got this!
Trump already stabbed Texas ranchers in the back. Governor Abbott, will you defend Texas, or fall in line with the herd?
Our ranchers built this state. They deserve a governor who fights for them, not one who's broke and branded by Donald Trump.

@gregabbott_tx is letting Ghislaine Maxwell relax in a cushy Texas facility while Donald Trump hides the truth. Trump's in Texas. Abbott should call for release of ALL the Epstein files and demand that Maxwell be moved.
He won't. That would take courage.

The problem for TX Republicans condemning Tony Gonzales for adultery is that many don't condemn Paxton. And none of those condemning Paxton and/or Gonzales have ever condemned Trump, who cheated on all 3 of his wives.
