Trump is scared?

Regardless if Crockett or Talerico - good to see that resistance against the occupier of the white house and his administration is speeding up.

Talarico Triumphs Over Crockett In Texas

Texas will become blue... Just wait and see. Lovin' it.

He likely has a better chance of prevailing in the midterms than Crockett would have had, and that's a good thing. Anything to diminish Republican power at this point is a victory for Law and Order, it is a victory for democracy, and it's a victory for America.

Just say no to fascism. No kings in America.

And further good news for Texas - emm sorry - for the US... :-)

Talarico is a strong fundraiser, bringing in more than $20 million to his campaign already, and Democrats would count on him to significantly outraise Paxton.

That cost, however, may ultimately prove more daunting to Republicans. Multiple GOP operatives described the state as “too big to fail.” While Democrats do not need to win the state to win a Senate majority, it is difficult to imagine Republicans keeping the Senate if they lose.

For those paying attention, he didn’t suddenly show up.

He’s been on a roll for months, importantly taking his message directly to Republicans in town halls in formerly ruby red districts.
