CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 6, 2026
JAMES TALARICO IS A NAME YOU WILL HEAR A LOT BETWEEN NOW AND THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. TALARICO WON THE DEMOCRAT NOMINATION IN TEXAS TO TAKE ON INCUMBENT JOHN CORNYN, WHO FACES A RUNOFF IN MAY AGAINST ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON.
TALARICO IS REFERRED TO AS A “SEMINARIAN” AND SOMETIMES A CHRISTIAN. HE SPEAKS VAGUELY ABOUT WHAT HE SAYS IS HIS “CHRISTIAN FAITH” BUT IT MOSTLY SEEMS TO RELATE TO GOVERNMENT TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE AND ATTACKS ON THE WEALTHY.
A VISIT TO HIS WEBPAGE SHOWS HE FAVORS MOST OF THE SECULAR-PROGRESSIVE AGENDA. HE’S AGAINST SCHOOL CHOICE. HE BELIEVES IN CLIMATE CHANGE. THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT SOCIAL ISSUES. NOTHING ABOUT ABORTION, WHICH EVERY DEMOCRAT MUST FAVOR, OR SAME SEX “MARRIAGE,” OR TRANSGENDERISM.
HE SAYS “THE REAL FIGHT IN THIS COUNTRY IS NOT LEFT VS. RIGHT. IT’S TOP VS. DOWN.”
DEMOCRATS AND THE LEFT HAVE BEEN USING ONE OR ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS FOR DECADES. IF THEY COULD FIX POVERTY, WOULDN’T THEY HAVE DONE SO BY NOW?
DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WIN SOME OF THE CHRISTIAN VOTE BY CHERRY PICKING SCRIPTURE AND APPLYING IT TO THEIR POLITICS. TALARICO MIGHT BE DESCRIBED AS A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
