Talarico’s greatest own is just not being a giant PoS. The bar is low. Its insane that other politicians, and especially Republicans, are even able to run at all, much less be elected.
the GOP has focused almost exclusively on discrediting him by attacking his masculinity and accusing him of being gay or trans.
Unfortunately this has proven to be very effective.
They don’t have anything else to attack him with and they’re scared shitless. It’s also kinda funny calling him out for not being married when his opponent, Ken Paxton, cheated on his wife and the whole affair was discussed publicly in the Texas legislature where the wife was an elected official. There’s nothing wrong with being unmarried, there’s a lot of stuff wrong with being a cheating POS like Paxton on the other hand.

You know what? If anything, being single makes him a better candidate, I think, because he doesn’t have to spend time taking care of his family.
That and constantly citing religion for the people that refuse to separate their religion and politics.
it is effective because they own the media and they repeat it 1000 times, the public has cero chance
No, it’s effective because being gay and trans is the heat death of the universe, as far as these backwater rednecks are concerned.
