Ask a black grandmother in Harris County who Talarico is and you got your answer for who wins this primary.

She can fundraise like Beto, could energize urban turnout in the metros and has name recognition. If Allred or Talarico can’t beat her in a primary then they aren’t beating Paxton or Cornyn.

Like Washington in Chicago, as long as he fights the City Council and Albany for his agenda while not turning on his coalition he’ll be fine.

Coddling and mythologizing the white working class especially over a nazi tattoo guy for a race 9 months away is partially why we are in this mess.

Coates understands that the consensus building Sorkinesque liberal politics was wounded in 2016, limped in 2020 and died in 2024. The smarter pols already know this.

When you have Coates all the way to ex Romney advisors understand the need for a hyperpartisan post Trump political project while Klein’s big idea is to just run pro-life Democrats, someone needs to get a pulse on the base outside of focus groups and consultants.

The customer service style answers and swift denial is blood boiling

The Black conservatism of Michael Steele and Condi Rice is gone and instead we just have assimilationists who repeat PragerU talking points and ass kiss Trump 24/7.

2028 won’t be a cakewalk primary wise but it’s her race to lose.

Woke 1 was all “Post-Racial” with the reaction of a black family in the White House. Woke 2 will be “Post-Reactionary” depending on how Trump leaves the political arena and how Democrats wield power after 2026 and 2028.

Given her family ties to Black radicals and Silicon Valley it would’ve been an interesting White House with Tony West and Cedric Richmond being in her ear. Although she’s in the same exact position as Trump was in 2021, sans insurrection.
