Democrats can be so stupid sometimes. Yes, I said that. The strategy is just bad. Talarico has already been out there and is getting some recognition and interest. Now, that recognition and interest will be divided to the betterment of the Republicans.

She should have waited. She's young and she has time. Maybe she should have run for governor.

Lifelong Texan here, and I know how it works.
