    Nah, Texans don’t like cowards. A firebrand is exactly the person needed. Anyways, picking candidates on electability is exactly what primaries are for. If you can’t win a primary, you aren’t exactly electable, are you?

      Picking candidates in a primary is not about electability. It’s about party representation. And it takes more than that to win an election, especially in Texas. This isn’t a swing state where we get that sort of luxury. This is a fight where it’s a 60/40 split in an average year. Cross over votes and mobilizing the independent demographic is our only chance.

      If Crockett gets the nomination, I have low expectations of a dem victory. I see better odds where we can pick up the disgruntled Christian old school Republican vote. And talerico can do that. Crockett cannot.
