James Talarico wins the TX senate Democratic primary according to Wasserman

[DemocracyWorks]

[In It to Win It]

1. Where did he make the projection? I'm not seeing it on Twitter.

[Johnny2X2X]

2. Rising star

Has a great chance to win.

[PeaceWave]

9. If he takes a U.S. Senate seat in Texas, he becomes a future Presidential candidate.

[hlthe2b]

3. Huh? Dallas County is not even in--nor will it be for a while.

I get the desire to project based on Hispanic vote in the Rio Grande Valley, but.. damn. WTF? Dallas County, Wasserman!???

[In It to Win It]

8. I don't see anywhere that he's made the projection yet

[Liberal In Texas]

22. Dallas is a stronghold for Crockett.

Have to wait.

[senseandsensibility]

4. What is he basing this on?

Not seeing that anywhere although Talarico did just take the lead.

[PeaceWave]

5. Yes!

[Prairie Gates]

6. Agreed...he'll end up winning by a lot

[hamsterjill]

7. Way to early!

Voting in Dallas County has been extended to 9:00 p.m. because of voting issues. They are trying to get the same extension in Williamson County.

[dalton99a]

11. +1

[Skittles]

12. I had to fill in all the circles with a pen - that took some time

not surprised they need more time

[hamsterjill]

15. Right?

My sister and I went to early vote in our little red neck part of Texas. I opted for an electronic ballot but she swears she wasn't given the choice and got a paper ballot. It took her a while!!!! But she wanted to blacken the circles completely she said because she didn't want there to be any question.

When I was finished, I went over to her table and just said "I'll be outside". One of the election workers came running over like I was some kind of criminal to see what I was doing. (My sister is older and in frail health and I didn't want her looking for me). He told me I could wait at the end of the room. I told him that I'd wait outside in the sunshine.

I felt like he was having his moment of power!!! LOL

[Skittles]

17. I was not given a choice

and I live in a METROPLEX

[hamsterjill]

20. That sucks!!!!

n/t

[PeaceWave]

13. What a stark difference between Talarico and either Paxton or Cornyn.

[Skittles]

19. yes, one is a decent human being

the other two are scumbag Trump whores and devotees of the greedy old pig party

[sheshe2]

14. Nope.

MS NOW @ 9:15pm EST....To close to call.

[Renew Deal]

24. Does he work for MSNBC?

[sheshe2]

30. Yes, and they are saying to close to call.

One precinct extended voting hours (SC ruling) due to polling place mix ups and that has been put on hold by another ruling.

[SheltieLover]

27. Ty, She!

[sheshe2]

31. See my other response...one precinct extended hours and....

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=21067995

TY, Sheltie.

[SheltieLover]

40. Tx supreme court reversed decision to extend hours &

Ordered polls to remove ballots for those not in line by 7pm.

Someone is terrified Crockett might win.

Meanwhile, shit weasle who bought eps ranch had 60% of the vote last I checked. Deplorables.

[sheshe2]

43. Ugh!

Eps, or the ghosts of Eps past are everywhere.

[SheltieLover]

45. Yes

[dflprincess]

28. MS NOW has reported that Crockett is underperforming in areas she should have done well in

speculation is that Hispanic voters really like Talarico's religious talk and he's performing very well with them.

I would rather see Crockett as the Senate needs a fighter like her and I don't trust Talarico not to become Fetterman 2.0 (nothing to base that on, just my thoughts.)

[PeaceWave]

32. Talarico is nothing like Fetterman. Why would you even suggest that?

[dflprincess]

39. He seems too ready to start singing "Kumbaya"

and, again, we need fighters.

[Wiz Imp]

67. 🙄

[Frasier Balzov]

79. As long as he sings it to Jasmine Crockett

that could be a very good and important outcome.

[PeaceWave]

80. Actually, I'm pretty sure what we need is winners. And, that he did tonight!

[BannonsLiver]

36. He's up by 92k

It’s done. Won’t be enough in Dallas to offset that.

[Katinfl]

60. Agree 100% with you on Talerico. Crockett is the stronger of the two. IMO.

[Wiz Imp]

66. 🙄🤯

[Wiz Imp]

65. 🙄🤯

[awesomerwb1]

78. Crockett has little chance to win statewide in Texas

[MustLoveBeagles]

16. I think this is premature

I'd be happy with either one.

[SSJVegeta]

18. Link?

[sheshe2]

38. There isn't one...

Too early to call per MSNBC @ 10:03 EST. There are two rulings on the Dallas polls about extending hours due to polling place mix up.

[SSJVegeta]

49. Are they going to release the dallas cnty results at all? Or is that almost impossible because the count is separated?

What a clusterf×ck!!!

On edit they just released Dallas county and she is getting 60%

Kornackis benchmark for her is 70%

Talarico still ahead by 70k votes.

[sheshe2]

55. No.

There will be no decision made tonight per MS just now. Crockett was on stage and said good night...no results.

[Boo1]

50. You mean this doesn't exist?

Link to tweet

?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

[Wiz Imp]

56. It didn't exist for a full hour and 17 minutes after the OP posted that,

When he posted it, it was a lie.

[sheshe2]

57. Yes.

Turn on your TV...there will be NO RESULTS TONIGHT. It all hangs on the Dallas County votes that were put on hold by the SC.

[karynnj]

72. Maybe not

It will depend on how big the margin is once almost all the vote is counted. If the margin is sufficiently high that even with all possible Dallas, military etc votes outstanding, he is above 50 percent, the winner will be known.

[Maru Kitteh]

21. Okay then, GAME ON! I'm optimistic about TX for the first time since I lived there

almost 40 years ago.

[Wiz Imp]

23. He never said or posted that.

[Boo1]

46. Yes, he did

Link to tweet

?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

[Wiz Imp]

51. AT 10:03. The OP posted that at 8:45, a full hour and 18 minutes before Wasserman's post.

So when the OP posted that it was a lie.

[Renew Deal]

25. Source?

Link?

[Bettie]

33. I think it's Adelson

not Alderson, but the point stands.

[PeaceWave]

34. Does this mean you won't vote for Talarico?

[Renew Deal]

37. Purity tests, just in time to undermine a Democrat

Hopefully people don't fall for that again. They don't seem to be in Maine either.

[Renew Deal]

35. Paxton thanks you for the support

[LtTx]

42. He is nothing like them NT

.

[Jose Garcia]

48. Good. You can't get elected in Texas with zero Republican support

[dflprincess]

41. So are these games being played in Dallas County

meant to hurt Crockett or help Paxton? Or are both true?

[LudwigPastorius]

75. I think they're meant to degrade confidence in the system of voting...suppressing turnout.

Fewer voters favors Republicans in general. That's why they constantly push for strict voter ID laws, limits to early voting and mail in ballots, and voter roll purges.

[RealFloridaDem]

44. If talarico wins, we better hope paxton is the GOP nominee because Jasmines base won't back him

[ananda]

54. You don't think Jasmine will do the right thing...

and endorse Talarico?

[RealFloridaDem]

61. She'll absolutely endorse, that doesn't mean her base will follow

[Wiz Imp]

69. So you honestly believe any significant percentage of Black voters would vote Republican

or not vote at all vs voting for Talarico? Seriously?

[sheshe2]

73. And you know that how?

[JI7]

74. Her base is black women. When have black women refused to support democrats against Republicans ?

You are probably confusing them with the trashy groups that claim to be the base but spend all their time attacking Democrats.

[PeaceWave]

47. Talarico has extended his lead to 9%. In the end, it wasn't even a close race.

[Wiz Imp]

58. And now it's down below 5% again.

with still only 59% of the vote in. That isn't remotely close to "in the end"

[LexVegas]

52. Best chance to put Texas in play. Congrats! nt

[sheshe2]

53. MSNBC just now...

There will be no results announced tonight due to the SC stay on the count!

[PeaceWave]

59. I haven't seen anything to that effect. Please provide a link.

[sheshe2]

62. I am watching the news...turn on MSNBC.

Crockett was just on and said goodnight and there was no decision made by the SC!!!!!!!

[SSJVegeta]

63. Link to this premature but true post

Link to tweet

?s=20

[BannonsLiver]

64. Denial is in the air tonight, apparently.

Very odd.

[rzemanfl]

68. There is one thing here

I always read.

[PeaceWave]

70. Funny.

[Firestorm49]

71. I hope he doesn't turn out being another Fetterman.

[SSJVegeta]

76. There is absolutely no indication whatsoever that could be the case

For one, his chances of having a stroke within 6 years is virtually none. He is already a million times more fit than Fetterman ever was.


He also never chased anybody with guns; and his message is about love, not bullying people.

[Tree Lady]

77. I watched him on Bill Maher show

Only reason I watched wanted to see who he was. He seems like a nice guy, I would say a moderate democrat, he’s religious but believes in separation of church and state.
