I'm going to need you to stop defending the use of Kalshi for actual fucking predictions. I don't fucking care what Kashi gamblers think will happen.

The last few Beto runs tarnished what he accomplished and people have memory holed how well he did. Right now is the same dynamic as 2018, in Dallas(M streets) it's all Talarico signs with a few Hinojosa sprinkled in. Paxton is just such an atrocious candidate with zero charisma

I’m voting for Paxton for his moral clarity and Hinojosa for saying she’ll be a governor who’ll stand up for Texans

Texas is still a place where ticket splitting is somewhat a thing. Much less than it used to be but they do it more often than most states

It is very likely that many GOP voters will vote a fairly straight ticket but either vote for Talarico, @TedBrownLiberty, or not at all, in the Senate race

Way further back than his attention span can handle

Well, there’s also just the fact that people don’t always vote down ballot. There are people who show up for a single race and don’t vote for any of the other ones. People who would vote for Talarico and then skip the other races
