Talafreako Is ‘Sick,' Becerra Is Hiding, and Dems Know Their Candidates Are Too Dumb to Campaign
[PJ] As two of the most infamous Democrat candidates right now seem to be in hiding, it becomes increasingly obvious that Democrats themselves know that when their own candidates are allowed to speak in public too frequently, voters can’t stand them.

Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico earned himself the nickname "Talafreako" with his endless stream of heretical and radical opinions. From calling God non-binary to saying the border should have a welcome mat to labeling Bible stories for kids "insidious" to demanding abortions for transgender-identifying individuals to calling racism a deadly virus — and much more — Talarico has been so embarrassing that even he tried awkwardly to walk back some of his statements and posed for painfully fake macho pictures.

Now we are supposed to believe that the only reason Talarico has vanished for more than a week from the public eye is that he is sick, although he did not seem dreadfully sick when he first announced that issue. Weirdly, as my colleague Matt Margolis pointed out, his campaign even posted video of an event from February and tried to pretend that it was recent. Republicans have started ribbing Talarico’s campaign to provide proof of life. I think it is a reasonable guess that Talarico’s idiotic comments and effeminate demeanor are so unappealing to Texans that Democrats’ only chance is to keep him hidden so he is not a constant and painful contrast to Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Meanwhile, over in California, Republican Steve Hilton is running such a good campaign for governor that Democrats are panicking. Child-trafficking, Biden-era HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra has attempted to attend as few events as possible, trusting the fraud machine in California to get him through. And no wonder, because when voters actually hear Hilton and Becerra debate the issues, Hilton is, without any competition, the winner: # id) ?>

3 The campaigns are simply against any Trump-backed candidates, the Democrat just has to stay invisible, much like Biden did when he won.

4 If Democrats spoke about their true positions on the issues they wouldn't stand a chance. Their only hope is to lie about Trump and hope their media lackeys back them up.

8 The Dems need to stop it with the weirdos and stick to treasonous dirtbags so the fight can be even.
