\n

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville and his co-host Al Hunt agreed last Thursday that Texas\u2019 Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico needs to walk back his past comments if he wants to win in the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n

Talarico, the co-hosts agreed, is in a strong position to score a historic victory in Texas if he plays his cards right. They previously cheered his victory over<\/a> Rep. Jasmine Crockett, to be the Democrat’s nominee, saying he would likely push the same policies as Crockett but without sharing her history of controversial comments.<\/p>\n

However, some of his past statements on race, gender<\/a> ideology, abortion, and religion are now causing headaches for his campaign.<\/p>\n

“I think Talarico has to be smart, and he has to be aggressive. As you just suggested, the GOP already aired an ad<\/a> accusing him of saying all kinds of weird things,” Hunt said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Some of it is true,” Carville agreed, before adding, “He’s got to deal with it.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Yeah, but he said there’s six genders. Well, I don’t know whether he said it or not, but if he said it, God d— it, he better walk it back right now or explain it,” Hunt said. “But most importantly, I think James, what he has to do is say, \u2018Hey, I may have said some dumb things, but Ken Paxton has committed dumb, corrupt acts that hurt Texas citizens.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Hunt went on to argue that Texas has a 50% chance of electing him.<\/p>\n

“If he stays on the offensive and Hispanic and Black voters are energized, I may not be quite as \u2014 I mean, I think Texans \u2014 I think Talarico has a 50\/50 shot.”<\/p>\n

“On that, we can agree,” Carville said. “It’s a pure tossup.”<\/p>\n

Carville argued that all the key ingredients for a superb Democratic comeback are there.<\/p>\n

“First, you would have a bruising, expensive, negative, drawn-out Republican primary. Check. It would need a Democrat who would defeat an urban progressive in a Democratic primary to at least give a patina of moderation. Check<\/a>!” Carville said.<\/p>\n

He continued, “You would need to have a political climate where Democrats would be consistently overperforming. Check. You would have to raise an inordinate amount of money for a Texas Democrat because they have no power. Check.”<\/p>\n

“In other words,” Carville concluded, “everything that you would say in a lab had to happen to get this thing to the point that here we are, almost post-Memorial Day, saying it’s a 50\/50 race.”<\/p>\n

In a recent CBS interview, Talarico blasted Paxton\u2019s campaign for clipping his past controversial statements<\/a>, even as he admitted he regrets some of them.<\/p>\n

“There are some statements that I have made that I certainly regret. There are statements that I have made where I have missed the mark. I will be the first to admit that,” Talarico said. “But Ken Paxton is intentionally clipping my cringey comments to distract from his career of corruption.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
