Chuck Schumer has decided Texas is the place to throw away his donors’ money. The new super PAC is called Texas Forever, which sounds like a souvenir shop in Amarillo. It’s actually a lifeline for James Talarico, a state representative who wants to unseat John Cornyn. Good luck with that.
Talarico is a nice enough politician, the kind who talks about faith and family while backing the full Democratic agenda. But now he’s got Schumer’s fingerprints all over his campaign. That’s not an asset in a state where “New York liberal” is still a two-word insult. Schumer’s own approval ratings are underwater. Why would Texans want a clone of that?
The real tell is where Schumer is choosing to spend. He’s not shoring up vulnerable Democrats. He’s chasing a fantasy in Texas because the Senate map is brutal. This is desperation dressed up as strategy. Republicans should be happy to see it. Money can’t buy Texas values. And every dollar Schumer wastes here is a dollar he can’t use to save his actual incumbents from losing ground back home.
