‘This Will Be FUN!’: The Texas Senate Race Stars an Anti-Texan

“This will be FUN!” So said President Donald Trump about the upcoming Texas Senate race after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated Sen. John Cornyn in the GOP primary runoff.

Paxton will square off against Democratic nominee James Talarico in what may turn out to be the most expensive U.S. Senate race ever. It’ll certainly be as grand, wild, and tasty as the Texas State Fair.

Democrats want that seat in Texas more than Nancy Pelosi wants insider stock tips. More than Chris Van Hollen wants margaritas with criminal illegal aliens. More than Jill Biden wanted to stay first lady.

They’ve been begging for Paxton to be the nominee over Cornyn, thinking a MAGA guy with a few splotches of dirt on his resume is easier pickin’s than the statesman-looking RINO. Of course, they wished for the same thing in 2016 with Trump. Ask Jeb Bush about that … if you can find him.

But here’s why the race is going to be fun. If you went into a lab to create the embodiment of everything that is anti-Texan, you’d come up with James Talarico.

Texans are big, brash, and bold, with a swagger born of taming the prairie. Think the late Democratic Gov. Ann Richards. Or Lyndon Johnson. Or even the late Democratic congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.

Trump compared Talarico to the Mad magazine character Alfred E. Neuman. More like Pee-wee Herman … if you pumped Pee-wee with estrogen.

Democrats would have been better off nominating Rep. Jasmine Crockett. She may........
