Pre-early voting Tex-ass political hot takes outside the MSM or #BlueAnon

Let's dig in with the Democrats' hot race. 

Talarico-Crockett

At the Monthly, Allegra Hobbs notes how seminarian James Talarico has backpedaled off Jeebus in his primary with Training Wheels Jasmine Crockett, including paying for a Jesus-free Super Bowl ad.

Hobbs, though touting his "scriptural literacy," does NOT tell you that seminarian James Talarico is either a liar or an idiot about Luke 1 and the Annunciation to Mary having any connection to reproductive choice. That, along with the above, of course makes him a Pander Bear. 

We then go to CD Hooks for his take on Pander Bear the Seminarian vs Training Wheels. He starts with the whole Colin Allred brouhaha. My take? He was mediocre, if even that, as a Senate campaigner. And a ConservaDem as a politician. That said, Training Wheels is a semi-pander bear on Zionism and Seminarian is trying to pretty much avoid the issue. You'll not find Hooks discussing that.

He does indicate Tex-ass Republicans, given the statements by Lois Cockwhore, may fear Talarico more.

He next claims spox for the two candidates misunderstand each other. False, dude. They indeed at least halfway understand each other, which is why they deliberately speak past each other.

He then discusses Talarico taking money from Mirian Adelson, as noted by a pro-Crockett anonymous website, but refuses to use this as an entree to discuss the Z word. (That would be like most members of Texas Pergressuves.)

The Barbed Wire adds the sidebar take of Crockett backers jumping into the land of conspiracy theories. 

That last one is laughable, and will probably get doubled down in a Talarico win.

Cornyn-Paxton

Also at the Monthly Hooks gets out a big can of bromance for "he looks like a senator" John Cornyn. And yeah, Hooks, that's what it is. Deal with it.  Otherwise, see above.

Sid Miller-Nate Sheets

The Trib looks at how and why incumbent Ag Commissioner is in so much trouble, so much trouble that included Gov. Strangeabbott giving his first-ever endorsement of a GOP challenger in an executive branch race, and includes also — contra Miller's bravado— major orgs like Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers breaking for Sheets.

AG race for Dems

This is one of four primaries where the Trib interviewed all candidates. I won't be voting in the Dem primary, in all likelihood, because of small-county primary needs, but would consider Nathan Johnson in the general.

AG race for GOP

Trib interview; Joan Huffman is the only one not a total hack. 

Senate GOP

All three Rethuglicans refused to respond to the Trib. 

Senate Dems

The Trib did ask both Training Wheels and Seminarian Pander Bear about weapons sales to Israel. Crockett wanders beyond Israel. Talarico goes down the road of offensive vs defensive weapons, touts the Israel-killed two-state solution and other things. Neither mentioned pro-Palestinian protestors like Leqaa Kordia. I won't be voting for either in the general and I'm not shocked by this.

To put it more firmly?

I won't be voting for whoever wins this shitshow, mainly because of Zionism, but also, because of Talarico's level of Pander Bear on misinterpreting Luke 1 if he's the winner. That means an undervote in the general, barring an independent write-in candidate, as Greens aren't running anybody.  

It also asked both about oil. Crockett explicitly backs "all of the above" on energy and Talarico does on the down low. Barf and yet more reason I'm not voting for either one.

In the general, I may vote Molison, the Green candidate for Ag Commish. But I'll only do that if he says publicly what's wrong with Proposition 4. If not, forget it.
