What impact will Trump have on the 2026 World Cup?
I’ll be enjoying a vacation in Mexico in less than two weeks, because I’ve lived next door to Mexico my whole life, currently reside in the real world, and am not a pussy.

Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
Of course, but to what end? She already had the primary voters her surrogates were dog whistling for. It only cost her votes from young progressives and didn’t help her at all with Hispanic men. In other words, her team ran around with a message that made her coalition smaller without turning out her base, and possibly hurt the eventual nominee. It’s political malpractice.

It’s a Dunning-Kruger effect. Like most people, most partisan Republicans aren’t very familiar with Christ’s gospel, which is fine! But because many of them *identify* as “Christian,” they think they are.

Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I’m not arguing with you about yours. Here’s what I struggle with: Harris was given the nomination by the democratic establishment without a contested convention or primary. She then presided over a historic erosion of Democratic support among black men and women alike. Abrams seem to have also had some erosion among black men against Brian Kemp in 2022. Neither Harris nor Abrams seem to have motivated disproportionately high black turnout as far as I can tell and so far the data seems to indicate that Crockett didn’t generate particularly high black turnout either relative to the general increase among other large demographic groups. So how will black turnout be different in 2026 for Talarico than it was in 2002 for Ron Kirk, or 2018 when Joi Chevalier was on the ballot? Better, worse? About the same? I would really, really like black voter turnout to be higher in Texas. But as far as I can tell, the presence of a black candidate on the statewide ballot doesn’t seem to make much difference.

2028 Presidential Election ....
It’s worth remembering that both Clinton and Obama were outsider longshot candidates coming into the years they were elected. In 1992 the candidate seen as next up Mario Cuomo, but he was advised to wait until 1996 and declined to run. Clinton only had an opening because GHWB was sitting on 70% approval in summer ‘91 and the all the presumed favorites (Cuomo, Sam Nunn, Gore, Gephardt, and Bentsen) took a pass. An of course we all know what happened in 08, when the field was cleared for Hillary Clinton and she lost to a first term senator named Hussein, and yet learned nothing about herself or campaign strategy from the experience. The party elite will put their thumbs on the scale for mediocrity and complicity. A good candidate is defined by one that can defeat them.

I That’s a very polite way to say someone isn’t a skilled communicator, funny how Democrats keep stacking the deck for those. Maybe it’s because they don’t actually represent the people they think they represent?

Talarico and Platner both the words, but Platner knows the music.

2026 Midterms ...
1) I don’t see the similarity between Platner and Talarico at all. If Texas had a candidate like Platner he would have beaten Crockett and Talarico both and then crush Cornyn. Texas needs a Platner. 2) I agree it will get mimicked, but it won’t be mimicked very effectively, because the people and teams mimicking it will be the same people and teams who spent the last 30 years incanting litanies of magic words for The Groups. They don’t understand what he is tapping into because they can’t relate to it and don’t know the people it appeals to. Consequently it will be as awkward as the time Hillary Clinton said she carried hot sauce in her purse. 3) I do think it would be effective in blue states if disruptive candidates were able to emerge but the infrastructure that prevents them from emerging is more robust in blue states.

Tthe funny thing is that the closest thing he’s had to a “scandal” is that he followed a couple of OF models on Instagram. Who amongst us?

Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
I just want to congratulate the Crockett campaign and their surrogates for opening the Talarico is Buttigieg (wink) discourse. You couldn’t bother to do field organizing in the RGV or San Antonio, but at least you gave Paxton/Cornyn this gift of a dog whistle. https://x.com/EWErickson/status/2030772931542876610

I think it’s just the right amount of pat- Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
He doesn’t need to. He needs to win 2/3 of the small part of the electorate that isn’t strongly partisan. It’s a huge challenge but not insurmountable in a wave election. I mean… that’s what the Crockett’s whisper campaign was attempting, and we can expect the GOP to do the same thing, because key parts of the Democratic coalition in Texas are more genuinely homophobic than the population as a whole. It could be very effective. We’ll see. - Wordle [spoilers inevitable but discouraged]
