How is James Talarico ahead in every single poll in Texas?
Sure, Ken Paxton is a uniquely odious and corrupt caricature who makes life very difficult for Republicans trying to present him as a viable Senate candidate. But this is Texas. It’s a “red” state that elected human Reek Ted Cruz and voted for rapist and criminal Donald Trump.
Also, how can Jon Ossoff build such a comfortable lead in Georgia?
Long-time analyst and pollster Mike Madrid believes it’s due to their “top vs. bottom” message that pits the majority against a corrupt broligarchy that is pillaging our wealth, resources, and data for their own personal gain. He spent time with Talarico in Texas and came back shocked at how he’s winning over reliable GOP voters who are sick and tired of the establishment. This is, in part, the same message of AOC, Mamdani, and, to a much lesser extent, Donald Trump, who lied about being a bulldozer and draining the swamp.
The “top vs. bottom” message creates a big tent that invites independents, Republicans, and even disaffected liberals and progressives. It gives a clear enemy to our shared problems and connects that Epstein Class to Donald Trump. Also, highlighting Trump and MAGA’s corruption breaks through.
Instead of punching the left all the time, Madrid, a former Republican, remains flabbergasted that Democratic leaders aren’t laser-focusing on Trump and going on offense all the time.
