No idea what he’s talking about. But I remember Texas Republicans in the Lege warning that Talarico was “dangerous” back when he was still running for the nomination. They meant politically dangerous. They were right.

But Trump is the bigger danger in Texas. Not that Talarico is riding on that wave alone.
