The verdict is in on James Talarico’s little Agatha Christie escapade, and worshippers in the House of the Donkey are going to be less than pleased.
The polls, for the first time in months, have Ken Paxton in the lead. The Quantus Insights poll is widely considered to be the most accurate, for what that’s worth. (It was the only poll to get 2024 right.) Quantus has Paxton at 47.2 to Talarico’s 46.7. A half a point does not seem earth-shattering, but you also have to throw in the GOP correction that nobody likes to talk about, which in previous elections has ranged from 3 to 5% (Current research now states that it has reached 6.2%.) YouTube poll Election Time gives an impressive total of Paxton at 55.1% against 44.9% for the Boy Wonder. Realistic? Maybe not. But the real importance of polls is to show you where the wind is blowing, and right now, it’s gale force against Little Jimmy.
Perhaps more telling is the response of the Democrats themselves. Dan Turrentine, one of the more sensible Dem strategists, is appalled at how the campaign is handling the disappearance. “They have not put stuff… I would put my primary care physician in front of the cameras, ‘he had a 103-degree fever, dehydration, we were afraid he would pass out.’ Whatever! I would put the urgent care receipt… I would flood the zone… and the fact that they haven’t, today, makes me a little nervous.”
They’re not putting it out because they don’t have it. That much was made clear by CNN’s Townhall infomercial for Talarico, which was a perfect opportunity to clear everything up, and did everything but. Instead, they handled Little Jimmy with kid gloves throughout – he’s been sick, you see. He had the flu.

Talarico could have posted to his X account....
”Hey, I’m sick. Be back on the trail ASAP.”
He didn’t even have to write it himself.
That nails it.
Talarico is as we thought, a benightedly stupid politician,
consumed with ignorance, lacking even a modicum of common sense.
He must live in complete political darkness.
.
“ The strangest thing about Talarico’s leaving the campaign trial
is his rank stupidity in not having staff brief voters about it.”
Seems like it is a lose/lose situation to say Talicreepo spent 2 weeks in the loony bin but he’s better now. Vote for him.
Maybe Talarico doesn’t want to win, he just wants the money.
Talicreepo spent 2 weeks in the loony bin but he’s better now......so go Vote for him.
This is not true.
Atlas Intel was widely considered to be the most accurate, and Atlas got 2024 right, too.

There it is.
I’ve seen so many Talarico ads, I didn’t realize he was missing.
After she lost, Hillary was heard to say she was dealing
with the fact that millions of Americans do not like her.
