That keeps on giving…
Rep. Jasmine Crockett decided to run for the U.S. Senate in Texas on Monday, and things aren’t going well. She had an embarrassing launch featuring a joke of a campaign video, and then, despite her high profile, a stunning lack of endorsements from Senate Democrats. Well, things just got worse.
According to a report from Axios, a whole bunch of her House colleagues are privately seething, convinced she’s about to blow what could be their best shot at flipping a statewide seat in Texas in decades.
“She might win a primary, but she ain’t winning a general in Texas,” one senior House Democrat said, speaking anonymously so he or she could be blunt. A second lawmaker echoed the anxiety, calling Crockett’s decision “concerning” for swing districts and “a bad decision” overall. A fourth member put it this way: “There’s a lot of concern she won’t win. If you have Paxton in there, particularly, it seems like a good target. I hope Texas picks someone that can get us a seat.”

Honestly, this is just flat funny. She ‘somehow’ thinks she’s actually popular with the people of Texas. But what she doesn’t realise is it’s because she is comedic relief…
But, bless her heart, let her go down that road. Texans will thank you!
Redistricting eliminated her district, so she has few other options to keep her grift going. She’s remarkably ignorant, and unless her winning her election was by corrupt measures, her current constituents make her look like a genius.
I’m thinking she’s not really that serious, but if she can steal enough from campaign donations, she might have enough money to find another way to fleece anyone she can.
It sounds like you may be right. I think she is also looking to try to become another MSNBC forever expert personality that no one cares about.
“… despite her high profile, …” Yeah, well that high profile is exactly the problem. She might do better to retire to the basement and turn the lights out. It’s worked before.
Interesting.
Some have speculated that O’Rourke was funded by a cartel, and it may be educational to consider that hypothesis about other US politicians as we learn about the future.
However, I think purpose she served for the Democrats as a (I gather) minority majority district representative was to be too corrupt or too stupid to have a problem with the Democrats burning down poor black neighborhoods.
Elections are a ways away, but not so far away I am confident that politicians in both parties will be out of whatever illusions they have now.
The government shutdown earlier this fall was historic, and also evidence of state of mind. Schumer misread what he could obtain that way, which is a misreading of politicians’ mindsets in congress and in senate. (IE, expected value for an early political realignment. Long disruptions based on misreading should be longer or more frequent when huge mental shifts are occurring.)
There are almost certainly several games being played by politicians. I dunno. We shall see.
I suggest she is popular with the people she spends time with and doesn’t realize she’s in an unrepresentative echo chamber.
Like the reporters from New York City who can’t imagine how Trump won since they don’t know any Trump supporters.
A lack of knowledge is a sad thing.
Jess/JG- You might be right…
Bob- Snort…
Bob- Yeah, that ‘question’ has been floating around for a while.
Jonathan- Echo chambers work BOTH ways!
The eyes of Texas are upon her, rolling.
I read that the repubs ran an astroturf that convinced her she could win and this run.
I didn’t know they had it in them.
That’s Roger Stone level dirty tricks.
Don’t laugh. With the pervasiveness of the lefts cheating machinery it’s quite possible that she could win…even in Texas.
WSF- Yours aren’t the only ones…
Ed- LOL
