There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."

A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.

Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

1. I like this man.

[MustLoveBeagles]

17. I do too

[Pisces]

2. If there is any justice in this world, this man will win!!

[Bluestocking]

3. Real men vote Democratic

[Roy Rolling]

24. "Real Men"

Real men aren’t afraid to be humble. Fear doesn’t control them.

[Lovie777]

4. K & R.......................

[NBachers]

5. And there you go

[Skittles]

6. to be fair, a LOT of weak men serve Donald Fucking Trump

but I get the point

[GenThePerservering]

13. By serving Trump they serve themselves

they're only 'loyal' for the $$$ and preferment.

[Skittles]

22. mmmmm

I'm pretty sure they doing and saying a lot of stuff they don't really believe in - let's put it this way: they're serving Trump, NOT America

[mvd]

7. K&R

I gave him a little donation today. Extremely important race!

[BidenRocks]

8. Get that on billboards all over Texas!

[paleotn]

9. Talarico and Ossoff are powerful.

The millennials may save us all.

[MustLoveBeagles]

19. I hope so

My generation GenX certainly hasn't.

[paleotn]

21. Mine either.

Gen Jones.

[stonecutter357]

10. K & R !

[MLWR]

11. AMEN

[Figarosmom]

12. That sticks it to Paxton right between the eyes😉

[mb40]

14. I love that last line.

Talarico should win, I wish I could vote for him. Come on Texans in the middle..independents and sane Republicans..easy choice here.

On a side note, why has there been so much talk about what makes a real man in a Senate race? Trump and MAGA have dragged this country into the gutter.

[Jack Valentino]

20. Because Paxton and other Republicans led off his GE campaign with attacks upon

Talerico's masculinity--- since they can't fight him on the real issues....

Kinda makes you wonder what they would say about Jesus---
you know, the whole thing about stopping the crowd from stoning
the adulterous woman to death, with the line
'let he who is without sin cast the first stone' (paraphrased)

Some far right preachers have ALREADY said it, "JESUS was TOO 'WOKE' "

Paxton et al would have BEEN THERE, to cast that first and second and third stone---
especially against a woman!--- and against JESUS afterwards,
for being 'too woke' !

which circles back to another rule of my own, "REAL Men don't stone women to death"
and a long list of other rules which go along with that...

[FakeNoose]

15. Winner ... winner ... chicken dinner!

Everything I see and hear about James Talarico convinces me that he's going to win this and he'll be in the U.S. Senate next January. Come on Texas Democrats, please send Talarico to Washington!

[BeneteauBum]

16. Standing behind your commitment is paramount

If you can’t keep promises, no one will trust you. One commitment everyone should make is to be a straightforward and honest person. Throw in a bit of compassion and there is a good person.

Peace ☮️

[Jack Valentino]

18. ... and REAL Men don't vote Republican !!!!

[gixxerlee]

23. i'm not a praying man

but DAMN i will be praying come this november! please, please, oh please. i do believe he has a good chance to upset corrupt paxton. i can't believe some of the early attacks against him. are they really going after his faith? well, i guess i can't be surprised. if they are willing to believe trash trump over the pope. these people are hopeless.

[gademocrat7]

25. K&R

[oasis]

26. Talarico's got it going on!

[King_Klonopin]

27. Real men don't get involved with labels like "real men".

[SamuelAdams]

28. Good for him.

We need more candidates like him and Buttigieg who will defend liberal views of masculinity and Christianity. We can't just cede that ground to Republicans.

[pinkstarburst]

29. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for Talarico!!
