    I’m sure a few of them hate watched it.

    Although, a big part of Talarico’s appeal is his method of seizing on conservative tulpas and twisting them to progressive ends.

    If Talarico has a shot at the general, it’s going to be thanks to some number of MAGA voters buying into left populism. A bunch of the interview is just Talarico sayings he’s Christian and asking WWJD about education, health care, and immigration.
