Trump's Texas rally showed exactly why Republicans are polling badly in the midterms

The article argues that President Donald Trump’s rally in San Antonio on Wednesday night illustrated why Republicans are polling poorly ahead of the midterms. It says Trump attacked Democrat James Talarico, described by polls as potentially becoming the first Democrat to win statewide in Texas in over 30 years, and also threatened people who might vote for him. The piece recounts rambling anecdotes, including a comment in which Trump (allegedly) said Melania calls him “sir,” and a rant attacking Talarico’s masculinity with claims tied to veganism and barbecue. It also notes that polls, including Fox News, show Talarico ahead of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The article adds that Trump has called for a public debate between Talarico and Paxton.
