A word on Crockett/Talarico [View all]

Whoever wins gets my dollars.
Whoever wins shall get every last vote that can be gotten in the midterms
Whoever wins needs the support of every freedom loving person in the United States of America.
Whoever wins doesn't need the PUMA or I didn't get my pony bullshit.

You back whichever candidate wins either with a vote if you're a Texan or with money if you're not.
