This map convinces me of that. Even amongst the people voting in a dem primary, the rural people preferred the white church boy. Crockett is more qualified, but Talarico has a better chance of actually winning.
Fortunately, they were both good candidates.
What you see on this map is the Hispanic population overwhelmingly supporting Talarico over Crockett, and vice versa for the black population. This bodes well for a general election, given Texas is 40% Hispanic.
Because she has 3 whole years in the House..

And Tarico only has checks notes 8 years of experience in House.

But it's not just that, he's religious and the grandson a Christian church leader! Not like Crockett who...
Is religious and the daughter of a Christian church leader...
Well, she only takes some money from corporate PACS, and he takes... Well, he takes none, but...
The only thing Crockett has more experience in, is losing elections.
The only one she won, was because crypto bros bought it for her and the incumbent heavily supported her.
There's no logical reason for everyone to have such high options of her, except you all fell for billionaire and Republican propaganda
Can you give me a logical defense of:
Because I legitimately never understood her "rise".
Crockett has 3 yrs in the Texas House and 3 years in the US House.
Talarico's 8 yrs have been solely in the Texas House.
I think most people weight national legislative experience significantly higher than state legislative experience.
Plus Crockett has a demonstrated track record of getting national news coverage opposing Trump.
I'm really not looking to get into a debate though. I'm not a Texan and have only casually followed this race. They seem like remarkably comparable candidates overall. I just wanted to say that from the outsider's perspective, Talarico seems to have a better chance in the generals.
Looks like San Antonio has churros and Talarico voters.
Brother. Do you know how rural all that purple is?? That's the East Texas Piney woods, just as rural as any prairie farmer
East Texas is also significantly more African American, even in the small towns
