With just over three weeks left before early voting, Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico on Thursday challenged his GOP opponent Ken Paxton to a debate moderated by Fox News’ Bret Baier.

“Texans deserve to make an informed choice in this really critical race, so I’m challenging Ken Paxton to a game on his own turf,” Talarico said during an interview at The Texas Tribune Festival. “He’s been running from accountability his whole life. It’s time to stop running.”

Yup.

>> Brent Baier? That same Brent Baier who sabotaged President Trump in the 2020 election...

Your point is dead on. Of course, that’s why TheFreako wants him to moderate; Baier’s a TDSer.

By the way, Baier’s first name is Bret, not Brent.

[Nervous Tick]

Piss off, jew hating TDS boy.

correct. If you have to challenge your opponent to a debate, you’re losing - despite what the polls say.

*** I could debate Talafreako and kick his ass so this should be easy peasy for Paxton..and by the way, if this freak is leading by SO much why does he want to debate Paxton SO badly. ***

Have you actually watched Talarico on the floor of the Texas Legislature when he has opposed a bill?
Try looking at his opposition to the furries act, the private school vouchers, or 10 commandments in schools.

He is not a lightweight despite many comments to the contrary around here.

Just say no to Fox. News Max, maybe, but not FOX.

The guy who is winning doesn’t ask for a debate because he can only lose or break even. Gee ya think maybe the pollster are lying? Maybe Talafreako’s internals aren’t as nice as the polls we are hearing about.

“Try looking at his opposition to the furries act..”

What’s a furries act?

IslamoCommunists (AKA “Democratic Socialists”) are a notably violent group that wholeheartedly approves Charlie Kirk’s assassination and other widespread political violence. Answering a poll is an invitation to having one’s house burned down or one’s dog killed. No wonder IslamoCommunists like Talafreako are doing well in polls.

This is perhaps the best indicator yet that the published media polls are phony. I hope they do debate as Paxton will further expose who Talarico really is.

Another bill the TX lege approved was to replace school counselors with volunteer chaplains. It was obviously not penned by the bill’s sponsor.

Interesting that Talarico is demanding the debate. Almost enough to make you think he is losing.

Hell to the no on that, James. For one thing... what is there to debate? Most folks with a working brain cell already know who and “what” you are.

For another thing... why would Paxon (or anyone) want to get that close (on a debate stage) to you. There is a severe risk of them catching something really bad and really evil from any close contact.

As for that “accountability” that you speak of... you’re destined to find out how that works some day....

good & plenty.

I'm sorry, but TaliFreako is a retard, and it doesn't matter how smooth his faggoty ass speaks, it does not detract from the subject matters being discussed.

The content of the debate will finish him. The method in which he presents his retardedness may play well in certain arenas, but in this case, his retardedness will work against him directly no matter how it is presented.
