The 2026 Midterm Elections, One Year Out, Looks Good for Democrats

Well, there you go....Marj nails it again...it seems like a really stupid move to tell the people who aren't supporting the person you decide to crown that their vote shouldn't count?

One way to get a whole tranche of voters to stay home in November...although Texas MAGA hardcores are going to turn out and vote lockstep. I do see though that if he picks Paxton, Talarico juat picks up a whole lot of republican 'independent' votes.

The question is...are the voters of Starr County so sure of Cornyn or Paxton winning that they just stayed home...or has TrumpCo. lost this border county? And does it matter?

As of the 2020 census, its population was 65,920. According to Wiki, the racial makeup of the county was 33.1% White, 0.1% Black or African American, 0.4% American Indian and Alaska Native, 0.2% Asian, <0.1% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, 19.1% from some other race, and 47.1% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino residents of any race comprised 97.7% of the population.

The Dem voters pulled about 10% of the county pop. to the polls or much more significant, about 1/3 of the 19,868 households in the county, although there were likely many instances of more than one adult in the household casting a vote.

And for Talarico

 
A bit of fallout from Jesse Jackson's funeral, with multiple news outlets reporting it: https://www.hindustantimes.com/worl...peeches-they-didn-t-know-101773001580926.html

The discontent within the Democratic Party continues to surface at times like these.

Reading between the lines, I'd guess that Mr. Jackson's son echoed his father's resentment at being passed over on major tickets or cabinets when big Democrats were elected with critical black support. Unfortunately, the whole story is a bit more complex, as his "love child" helped scuttle his market value on the national political scene. Times changed later, but Jackson was then too old.

It is rare to find three US presidents eulogizing anyone in person other than a dead president. That Mr. Jackson's son didn't find that honor to be enough is a pity, both on a personal level and politically.

I watched most of the major speeches. I chuckled at some of the praise directed toward Rev Jackson Sr's children.

Jesse Jr had a stint in Congress ended when was sent to prison. Jesse Jr is bipolar and has had his share of problems.

Yusuf is the brother who didn't follow in the family business. Instead, he's involved in capitalistic ventures and has been involved in some of the scandals that follow the moneychangers in the temple.

White funerals almost always whitewash over the faults of the deceased. Black funerals are often a little more Calvinistic and frank about the shortcomings of the deceased. Most of what I saw was a political event, with a nice song from Jennifer Hudson (who appeared to have a dead animal draped across her left shoulder).

Without looking it up, I thought I remembered him being the one caught with money laundering, having thousands of dollars in his freezer at home when the FBI raided his home, but I wasn't sure I wasn't remembering Representative Ford's son.

That's likely to be William "Cold Cash" Jefferson [D-LA].

Jefferson's numbers were petty theft compared to Jesse Jr's. Jesse's numbers were closer to a million. I think the Feds got him for embezzling something like $800K but they suspected the amounts were larger. Jesse, like his father, made enemies on both sides of the aisle, so not many people shed a tear when he resigned from Congress.

Yeah, I did remember it was in Baton Rouge or New Orleans. It's been probably more than 20 years ago, so I'm claiming fair game on forgetting details.

I am truly sorry for Jackson's legacy to be tarnished by the misdirection, just as MLK's name was damaged by his children's lawsuits against each other. Great men do not necessarily have great children.

Talarico leads both Cornyn and Paxton - Public Policy Polling

Public Policy Polling’s newest Texas survey finds no meaningful difference in electability between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. Cornyn trails James Talarico 44-43 and Paxton trails Talarico 47-45. While Talarico is seen favorably by Texans (a +6 favorability at 41/35) Paxton and Cornyn are...

Public Policy Polling’s newest Texas survey finds no meaningful difference in electability between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. Cornyn trails James Talarico 44-43 and Paxton trails Talarico 47-45.

While Talarico is seen favorably by Texans (a +6 favorability at 41/35) Paxton and Cornyn are unpopular. Cornyn is more unpopular though. His net favorability is -28 (25/53) while Paxton’s is -24 (30/54).

Ken Paxton, the guy who took bribes, was charged with a felony, is in the process of getting divorced for cheating on his wife and is on his second mistress while still married, is polling +4 in favorability over John Cornyn. Let that sink in.
 
But texans love their corrupt philandering politicians.....Talarico doesn't have this in the bag by a long shot.

Talarico might be the right messenger for the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" message.

In the interview that he gave with Colbert, he talked about how Christian nationalists aren't Christians. He talked about how their involvement politics has robbed religion of its ability to be the moral compass of society. The sexual predation going on in the Christian church isn't new but the epidemic level of male pastors being arrested in the south is a sign that they have lost their way.

At 4:20:


Talarico's biggest threat isn't Paxton or Cornyn. It's the men in the boardrooms of oil companies in Houston, in banks in Dallas and in the Petroleum Club in Midland.
 
In an overlooked race, there's an interesting match-up in Mississippi.

In October, 2022, President Joe Biden nominated Scott Colom to an open seat on the District Court in the Northern District of Mississippi. Colum's nomination was supported by Sen Roger Whicker [R-MS], Rep Bennie Thompson [D-MS] and two former Mississippi governors.

The nomination was blocked by the other senator from Mississippi, Sen Cindy Hyde-Smith [R-MS], who claimed that Colom supported trans rights and had accepted money from George Soros.

Because revenge is best served cold, Scott Colom is running as a Democrat to take Cindy Hyde-Smith's seat in the Senate. Turnout for the Democratic primary was unusual high for a off-year election.

Another interesting sign.

Sen Rand Paul [R-KY] plans on running for President in 2028. He won't make it far in the primary and it's unlikely he'll be able to raise enough money to make it past the first few states.

But... the Kentucky Republican Party is worried that they might lose the Senate seat, so they're changing State law to allow Sen Paul to run for President without having to resign from the Senate.

In politics, candidates usually can only run for one office at a time.

But Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and other federal officeholders would, by law, be able to run for reelection and president in 2028 under a bill advancing in the GOP-led state legislature.

Another Paul trying to be the spoiler for the Dems.

He can fuck the fuck off.
 
Any pick-up is a good pick-up, but the only ones that will really count are those that flip State houses and Congress. Or at least hamstring the GQP on a state level.
