Wow. Al Green pulled ahead in CD 18, but still a runoff at least. I'm surprised by his election day performance. I guess that publicity stunt he pulled at the SOTU had its desired effect.

I'm sure someone has already gone through his sermons. There will be hours upon hours of material like this to use. In addition to his the border needs a welcome mat comment. All 80/20 issues.

And he's lazy too - missed over 800 votes and lied about it. Some preacher. Probably would lie to parents faces about their child

One more - he spouted off the we're tired of prayers talking point after a terrorist attack. He's out of his league with this comment and he tucked tail and ran.

Not surprised he won, but Talerico is the fakiest fakerson I've ever seen. He just says Christian-sounding things, and the NPCs lap it up.

He's the political version of Joel Osteen...though I guess Osteen fills an arena with uninformed people as well.

As much as libs hate Christianity you'd think that would be a turn off but I guess not.


He's going to get the lib vote...I think his whole goal is to pull from the middle...and he's playing a 'wholesome' awe shucks character to do so.

He's the religious-y 'Mayor Pete' of Texas this cycle. Talking points will be out today about how reasonable, moral and upstanding he is and any Christian who doesn't vote for him has gone astray from their beliefs. I'm already seeing it.

I think if this were a Presidential election year with Trump on the ballot, he might have more traction. But I do not think he's going to motivate the Democrat base. The suburban self proclaimed 'moderates' who love him the most probably voted Allred against Cruz in 2024 anyway. I do not think he's going to pull a bunch of new voters his way.

Crockett was crazy, and likely to lose, but I also think her shtick would have fed their voting base the red meat to get them out to vote in a mid-term year and raise more money for the party and other races. Also see Al Green somehow managing to get back in his race following his stunt at the SOTU.
