4. Texas has had a silent majority for a while now.

I moved away in 2010, but even before then, minorities under-registered and undervoted. It's a majority minority state and the way Latinos and Blacks have been treated there by the state legislature should generate a 100% turnout in November. Of course it won't, but I think Talarico has the money and the message to beat Paxton, though it will very likely be close, just because there seem to be more stupid people there than in most other states. And it is the most corrupt when it comes to state legislatures, so I expect the cheating in November to be massive. So there needs to be a real Democratic party effort to avoid laying down and taking it and getting out to the polls.
