Totally-Normal Rompin'-Stompin' Heterosexual James Talarico Mysteriously Vanishes for 11 Days As Campaign Comes to Climax

Mysteriously disappearing is totally a male thing to do and not something that Judy Garland would do on a pill-bender.

With just 28 days remaining until he faces off against Republican candidate Ken Paxton, Democrat James Talarico is nowhere to be found.
Talarico has not been seen publicly in Texas in over a week, with his last appearance occurring on Saturday, September 26, before he took a fundraising trip to New York City. There, he was treated to a VIP fundraising dinner where attendees, like a filmmaker who labeled America a "shithole" and a group that advocates for child sex change surgeries, were charged $27,000 a plate.

On Wednesday, September 30 Talarico was slated to speak with the U.S. Hispanic Business Council in the Rio Grande Valley, but instead joined virtually from a hotel because "his staff says he's ill and was unable to travel." During the appearance, Talarico claimed that he was forced to seek care at an urgent care clinic in Dallas, but social media users have disputed the timeline offered by the candidate.
Then, on Friday, October 2, the Talarico campaign chose to recycle footage from a February 22 rally before Talarico had even won the Democrat nomination, and tried to pass it off as current.
Next, his campaign cancelled an event slated for October 5 with the Central Texas African American Civic Engagement Symposium. The campaign has offered no explanation as to why the event was suddenly canned.

I don't want to spread any WITHOUT EVIDENCE theories. And like Candace Owens, I am not a medical doctor.

That said -- I think it's obvious that this is AIDS-related bipolar disorder.

He's got "the AIDS crazies."

Speaking of people missing from the campaign trail -- for some reason, Joe Biden, the Healthiest and Most Vital Man in the Whole of Christendom, is skipping out on campaigning for his fellow socialist civilization-razers.

Former President Joe Biden has been largely absent from the campaign trail as Democrats fight to win back House and Senate majorities in November, even as former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris step up efforts to boost the party's candidates.
Biden, 83, has kept a limited public schedule while battling advanced, metastatic prostate cancer. He has endorsed candidates and is helping Democrats raise money, according to a source in Biden's political circle. But the former president has made few political appearances this year.
The contrast is increasingly visible with four weeks to go until Election Day.
Obama is cutting ads for Senate and gubernatorial candidates, helping the party fundraise and preparing to hit the trail during the closing stretch of the midterm campaign. Harris, the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee, is also campaigning across key battleground states, including a recent stop in Michigan with Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed.
Biden has appeared at just a handful of political events this year. He spoke in February at a reception honoring his 2020 South Carolina primary victory, which propelled him toward the Democratic nomination and eventually the presidency. In June, he addressed a Maryland Democratic Party event.

One of the two statements below is true, and one is false.

Can You find the true statement?

Longtime Democratic strategist Michael Ceraso told Fox News Digital that some in the party's elite and fundraising class are concerned that "if Biden were to be pushed out there in any sort of way for virtual or in-person opportunities, he could be a liability."
Veteran Democratic strategist Maria Cardona had a different take, telling Fox News Digital, "There are still a ton of Americans who love Joe Biden."

Talarico's partner in weirding everyone out, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, denies that he's a dual citizen of Egypt.

One problem with that -- he openly bragged about being a dual citizen on videotape.

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed told a Detroit audience in 2016 that he has "dual citizenship" in the United States and Egypt, according to previously unreported video. It's the second time he's been documented making the claim, even though his campaign now claims he was never a dual citizen.
El-Sayed made the remark about his dual citizenship onstage at a GlobeMed conference in Detroit, where the far-left Democrat served as the city's health director at the time.
"I carry dual citizenship, and I grew up spending most of my summers in another country where I understood what it meant not to have the right to self-govern," said El-Sayed, whose parents emigrated from Egypt to the Detroit area in 1978.
El-Sayed went on to tell a story, one he still tells on the campaign trail a decade later, that he was questioned by Egyptian police during one of those summer visits for publicly cursing Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's president at the time.
The newly revealed 2016 video marks at least the second time El-Sayed has publicly claimed to have Egyptian status. His academic résumé stated in 2014 that he was a citizen of the United States and Egypt, the Washington Free Beacon previously reported.
El-Sayed's campaign told the Free Beacon, which reported in January on the dual citizenship claim made on his résumé, that El-Sayed was mistaken about his citizenship status.

Uh huh.

On Sept 30th, Talarico called in and told a group that he was feeling bad and went to urgent care in Dallas the night before
BUT , it seems he was at fundraiser in NYC @ 5:30 the evening before...
Is it really possible to go from NYC fundraiser to a Dallas urgent care in a few hours?

I have no idea how good Paxton is on the stage.

But the little shitcreep would get buttfucked by an autistic 11 year old girl.

He can't even respond coherently to a softball question at a campaign event. He gets all flustered and nervous and starts babbling, like instead of snorting the K off the fratbro's dick, he snorted the dick off the K.

I assume Paxton would absolutely murder him in a debate. Which is why I think he's ducking the public and trying to run out the clock.

76 When he made that comment "lay back...." no one batted an eye.

The reason is because he was a drunk and often said stupid things. He would often say quips and they usually had nothing to do with the previous story, so I think most people just didn't make the connection to the story about the girl and his quip. (at least, my family did not notice any reaction. Maybe there was one but it was not shock.)

The next day though, when he was not on and they gave an apology, we had to think about what it was he said that they were even apologizing for.

You see, his real problem, and the reason everyone thought he was going to be gone soon anyway, is that he was a drunk. On some nights he would slur his words and stumble as he gave the weather report. It was kinda funny, but kinda sad. I still think that was why he got fired. Stupid quips were not that unusual on the news in those days. OK, that one was insensitive, but I think really people were just fed up with him being publicly drunk every night. Very sad story, that.

There are two major examples this year of preferred candidates of the black electorate (Crockett in TX and Stevens in MI) getting shafted for other representatives of other parts of the coalition (prog whites in the first and Arab immigrants in the second).

The lesson that will be learned is: Black people were robbed and would have won both races and they should run the party.

Other factions will fight it, but holy shit will the black community believe that they don't need to give any quarter to whitie or ragheads in the near future.

It's not like turnout can decrease in response to this sort of thing.

It's not like there is a long history of blacks doing this when their group preference loses the primary.

No one is arguing that blacks are going to turn Republican this election. You're setting up a strawman.

What will happen, and what we're already seeing happen at the precinct level of early voting, is that black turnout is crashing well below levels of whiter precincts that tend to vote Democrat. Blacks are checking out already.

But, your note about "blacks will vote 90%" is noted, even though no one asserted anything asserting that it wouldn't be like that.

90% of blacks who show up to vote will vote for the Hamas lover. That's true. But it's all a question of turnout. Blacks clearly don't like the guy and a statistically meaningful percentage will stay home or otherwise not vote. That's huge.

144 One of my favorite parts about the assumption of "The Emerging Democrat Majority" is that it relies not just upon 95% black vote rates forever but also Obama-level turnout of blacks forever.

Historically, black turnout was 55% or less. Often, IIRC, in the 45% range.
Obama had it up to 65%.

And look "unskew the polls" and all that--sure the polls could be right and blacks and the youth will turn out at Obama levels.
Or they may revert to the norm.

They're below their rate from the 2022 election in early voting in Ohio.

About 7.4%.

And the first day of in person early voting was yesterday, and it was...disappointing. Blue enclaves are down much more than the rest of the red state.

Surely, they'll come out on election day, right? Election day is the strongest day for Democrats to vote in recent history, right?

196 90% of blacks who show up to vote will vote for the Hamas lover. That's true. But it's all a question of turnout. Blacks clearly don't like the guy and a statistically meaningful percentage will stay home or otherwise not vote. That's huge.

Same thing will happen in TX with the white twink creep, except I think on an even bigger scale. Because in TX, blacks think -- with reason -- that the white Democrap powerbrokers fucked over their preferred black candidate.
Posted by: Elric The Blade
=======
Turnout for Dems is going to be at 2022 level or lower. Possibly even 2014 and that makes it difficult for Dems in crucial House races in places like Texas, Florida, Ohio, and Michigan. If turnout drops, it will have downballot effects on Dems as GOP seems to be turning out at a bit over typical midterm levels so far.
