To the editor: Up till Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D-Austin), I had hardly heard of him (“Texan James Talarico becomes a fresh face of Democrats’ midterm hopes after Senate primary win,” March 4). Then, CBS pulled the section. It made nationwide information and went viral on the web. It additionally turned a significant story for the speaking heads throughout cable exhibits. CBS, after all, is owned by Paramount, which is managed by the Ellison household, a lot of which occurs to assume President Trump walks on water.
All you might want to do is join the dots, and one can simply conclude that the sudden spurt of help for Talarico will be laid proper on Trump’s doorstep. In a flash, James Talarico had nationwide title recognition and his marketing campaign caught hearth.
If Talarico manages to prevail in November, the MAGAs have solely themselves to thank. This is just one occasion wherein the Trump machine has given an ideal demonstration of how the basic “round firing squad” works.
All that being mentioned, I listened to Talarico’s speech on Wednesday, and he’s the actual deal in addition to a breath of recent air.

To the editor: For years, we’ve got seen an exodus of California residents and firms relocating to Texas. Did Texas politicians assume that every one the newcomers got here predisposed to Texas politics and beliefs?
Whereas these new Texans could not agree with every thing they left behind in California, they’re undoubtedly extra middle-of-the-road or liberal than Texas lawmakers in all probability anticipated (“The hug vs. the fight: What Texas told Newsom about 2028,” March 5). They might not have foreseen how this may play out, however a breath of recent air is normally a superb factor.
