The perennially wrong Dick Morris weighs in again in a May 30 Newsmax TV appearance:
Longtime political analyst Dick Morris told Newsmax that Texas is “clearly red and going to stay that way,” predicting Democrat Senate nominee James Talarico cannot overtake Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton no matter how much money national Democrats pour into the race.
Morris, an author and adviser to Donald Trump, spoke after “Saturday Report” aired clips from a pro-Paxton ad spotlighting Talarico’s past remarks on gender and religion.
The video featured Talarico saying God is “non-binary” and that there are six biological sexes, lines he delivered on the Texas House floor in 2021 opposing a bill restricting transgender athletes.
Asked whether Texans would rally to Talarico, Morris was flat.
“It is not going to flip. It’s not close to flipping,” he said, calling this “the third or the fourth Texas race I’ve been involved in as a commentator” and adding that he “used to run Ted Cruz’s campaign.”
Morris failed to mention thhe fact that Talarico is actually leading Paxton in several polls. He also failed to mention the numerous scandals that could affect Paxton, chief among them his adultery and ongoing divorce. Morris’ track record on predictions raises questions the veracity of this one.
