.... But what if Talarico, Castro, and Beto all decided to run for the Senate as well?

Y’all really have to be a Texas Democrat to understand what a traumatic experience being a Texas Democrat is.

Are we going to tear each other down instead of building a message that gets our people to the polls? That’s the fear.

Have we had really serious state Democratic primaries in Texas? When? [maybe the 1972 gubernatorial?]

Lupe Valdez v. Andrew White? Meh. MJ Hager v. Royce West? Yawn. Joe Jaworski v. Lee Merritt v. Rochell Garza? Jaworski and Merritt were cordial, even leaning into bromance territory, but Garza was nowhere to be seen. Uneventful. Mike Collier v. Michelle Beckley? Lol.

I don’t know. We have had some Democratic primaries, but they haven’t been knock-down, drag-out affairs. Maybe Democrats are just too nice for that. Or maybe we just haven’t had that many hard-hitters in one race.

A larger primary pool can be beneficial by increasing voter engagement and turnout,....
