Why so little advocacy for candidates

In the real world, Rubio is a better candidate than Vance. In Maga world, I think Vance would be favored.

No doubt, but MAGA can't win on their own, Rubio has appeal to the voters outside of MAGA that they need to win.

I don't think it really matters, I suspect the Dems could run a trained monkey in 2028 and still win the election.

Assuming we are talking elections in 2028, I think Trump's base is more into insurrection and authoritarianism than democracy, there's a lot that could happen, I don't see a peaceful exchange of power in 28, I'm sure there will be violence.

A valid and serious concern.

Let us hope we have a strong candidate with no challenge, but given the lack of significant distance between a strong Talarico and a corrupt Paxton for Senate in Texas, I'm not so optimistic.

Is little Rubio the one with the big shoes?

Eh, Talarico seems genuine even if I don't agree with all his policies.

One look at his theology is enough to tell me he’s the biggest phony in Texas.

Talarico looks more normal than his opponent.

A lot of people with that theology genuinely believe it though. Wouldn't be surprised if he does as well.

Texans love their candidates.
