James Talarico disappeared for two weeks. No one knew where he went. Rumors began flying. Trump was saying he ate meat as a “vaygan” and then threw up all over the place and got very sick. Some suggested he might be orchestrating a major psych-out for the Right and that he was flying around in his invisibility cloak raising money for the Democrats.
Now he has emerged and said he had the flu. He is a diabetic and that flu took him out, so the story goes.
Here is how local news covered it in Texas:
It’s a tough fight for the GOP, which is kind of amazing considering Talarico is, to me, an Obama clone. He talks the same way. Acts the same way. Delivers his speeches exactly the same way. I know the Democrats need their Obama clones wherever they can find them - Ossoff in Georgia, Shapiro in PA - but Talarico is the most like Obama of the bunch. Either way, Trump is trying his best to hold the state for Team Red.
