I’m heartened by this whole analysis. You have raised a very important profile. The traditional Democratic organization is stifling. As an 83 year old elder, disappointed for years and years by the intransigence of the mainstream Democrats I see a whole lot of hope here.

I'm glad you guys touched on Gaza, which was really the first time I noticed how The Bulwark covered topics that they had a very strong stance on.

The question is this> Do we want the Senate seat to stay Republican or do we want to change it to Democrat?

That is the only thing that matters Right Now.

Who has the most realistic chance of swinging the election Crockett or Talarico?

BTW here is the interview Colbert had with Talarico https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ7Pz_59A&t=13s

Consider the demographics and ideology of Texas

I personally like and Trust Crockett, Talarico not so much because he is a Christian, and despite his claims about Matthew 25 I have a hard time trusting Christians.

But we need to win the Senate, and who has the best chance Talaricoor Crockett.?

Thank you for your comments, but this post is really focused on the way pundits frame narratives, and what damage they may do whether intentionally or not. This is media criticism, not election analysis.

I definitely appreciate the debate over whether Crockett or Talarico is best! I just want to flag that that is not the focus of this particular post.
