Trump knows what time it is

They are about to spend months blowing money beating up on each other while talarico is having brunch with black women in Houston and DFW cementing support :banderas:

I see Al Green and Menefee in a runoff.

I used to live in Al Greens district, voted for him and he's my dog for trying to impeach Trump like 10 times.

Om wondering though, does Christian Menefee have any sort of state/national profile? I've seen his name coming up a lot but don't follow closely enough.

Yeah, of course, White evangelicals are overwhelming diehard Republicans/Trump supporters. They're going to vote for Cornyn or Paxton in the general.

However, I think the play with Talarico is that he might appeal to some White Texans who are "culturally Christian" rather than fervently religious Christians and have typically voted for Republicans because that's what everyone they know does and what they are "supposed to do." Maybe Talarico can make them "bite the bullet" and vote for a Dem. Obviously, nothing is a guarantee, and it will be an uphill battle.

Also, TX Latinos have seemingly come back to their senses because of Trump's immigration policies. They seem to have reverted back to Dems (...for now).

i have no problem letting our sisters vent. They just had white people tell them how unqualified an educated black woman was, again, while calling her out her name in the process

They’ll do the right thing like they always do when it’s time.
Honestly I think the “qualified” conversation is a trap they created for themselves. Yelling about your qualifications is irrelevant when nearly every candidate went to an Ivy League school, or a good law school. The question should either be what do you believe or what have you done. I don’t care what your job was. What do you believe?

Kamala started that asinine “most qualified person of all time” shyt and it was laughable to anyone with a brain. How was she more qualified than George HW Bush? No idea. But the more people talk about academic achievement or government positions you have, the less they talk about what you believe or will do. Crockett didn’t have an “issues” page on her site for weeks. Because the campaign wasn’t about issue, it was about her. Saying “I’m the most qualified so give me the nomination” never works yet these people keep trying it.

HW's qualifications are highly overstated, he never even won statewide before being VP.

There is reporting that Barbara didnt even want him to take some of his posts and he wasn't excited about some of them (I can't remember if it was CIA Director or RNC Chairman).

He has a solid resume I guess, CIA Director, RNC Chair, US Ambassador to China, military vet, etc. But how many Presidents held those posts before ascending to the Presidency? I can't think of any. None of them are traditional prerequisites to the role (like being a Governor, Senator, etc.)

And Kamala was a DA, Attorney General and US Senator to the largest state in the union, he doesnt blow her out of the water.

Kamala didn't "start" that. Both Hillary & Biden talked up their qualifications and experience. Also, the "most qualified" thing is to contrast with Trump, who is literally the LEAST qualified person to ever be president.

Actually you're right, Hillary did start it. Specifically against Obama. And it was a god awful strategy yet people keep utilizing it.

I’m looking at it through a different lens. We are told you can’t have x job because you don’t have x qualifications and now within less than two years two people who have those qualifications have been told they aren’t good enough to have x job against people with inferior resumes. To the people that look like them, support them and have similar life experiences I can understand why that would be triggering at minimum. Now they’ll have the rest of the year to hear from white people about how the person they voted for sucked (with more colorful and sometimes coded language) and to get on code and vote for the white guy. A million people voted for her. You can feel however you want about her but obviously she was moving the needle for somebody.
