James Talarico: on what makes a real man

Thereâ€™s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."

A man does whatâ€™s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesnâ€™t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.

Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

He is that rare candidate that combines a sharp intellect with an unapologetic display of his faith. He has the potential to change the dynamics of politics in Texas and nationwide. I love that he calls out all of the corruption we are seeing. He reminds me a little of that once unknown young man from Chicago that ran and won a US Senate seat in 2005 and later became a US President. Talarico inspires hope. No wonder the Republican machine in Texas is so worried about him. He can, and I believe will, prevail in Texas in November.

voters across the country whose religious leaders have not walked the walk for generations. Talarico does and will revive Jesus' words and have them mean something again.
