Trump's endorsement of Paxton and Paxton's eventual defeat of Cornyn reveals an exploitable fault line between traditional republicans and MAGA dead enders in Texas.

Talarico is navigating it much more carefully and shrewdly than Beto did and his sincerity in his values will hopefully give him a fighting chance.

They keep the posts, but I think they should remove them.

This is the official party's page.
When we had another chair, they removed negative posts.

The purpose of the party's page is to generate information, (election, events etc) not court controversy.
It's for Democrats to find information.
