Means crazy Jazzy Crockett is getting in.

That is going to be hilarious!

Dude knows that being a Congressman is a great gig and very lucrative. If he can win that race, he can camp out in congress for 25 years and retire a rich man.

This is why there absolutely need to be term limits.

Setting up nicely for talarico

He doesn't seem like the guy that can be "just a Congressman" for the rest of his career. Too arrogant.

He's just another F'n grifter

Talerico is underwater badly vs. Jasmine.

She's actually getting/taking advice from Stacey Abrams too. It's stupendous that the Dems are going to do this. Another great national messaging narrative disaster for them heading into the mid-terms.

She will dominate the black vote, and easily win the primary.

This makes Crockett almost a certainty. Allred is very smart to drop out and pursue other things https://t.co/hYHQ61dsrS

For some politicians, being too arrogant is what gets them elected and reelected. And if he starts tweeting to own the right, he might get in and stay in forever.

Term limits eliminates all of this.

The Democrat party is so atrocious that Crockett is the front runner. In Texas. That's just unreal to me.

Tells you how far gone our blue counties are that she will still command 60-80% of the votes there.

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

LOL
LOL
LOL
LOL

Jasmine Crocket with the winning grift.

I'm old enough to remember when this latest "democrat hope" in Texas was going to be a star.

this is perfect for the state GOP

voters of Texas will destroy Crockett in the general election

but as long as Jasmine makes a few million dollars for her new beach house condo in Miami- what does she care?

I am sure Congresswoman Julie Johnson is just thrilled!!

About time black folks wake up to fact that they are equal to anyone here in America. Their politicians , that promise sweet nothings are no different than white politicians who rant and rave and do nothing but enrich themselves.
Political class needs to be purged of grifters.

They just reflexively vote D. They would have voted for Allred too (and he's less embarrassing than Jasmine). I would watch their vote totals because there will be a contested primary.

All of the sane people live in the surrounding counties anyway.

Jasmentum!

My son went to a Talarico event in San Antonio yesterday. He came back saying how reasonable he sounds, but then he got kinda pissed at me for poking holes in Talarico's stump speech. (Especially when I asked him how much of the speech was about what new proposals Talarico offered as opposed to simply talking about how awful Trump and Republicans were.)

Talarico is getting some traction with the younger crowd by saying that Republicans talk a good game, but they are actually very hard hearted when it comes to immigrants. Then, racism, totalitarianism, etc. is the result.

I'll have some fun with him later by pointing out that apparently Talarico isn't far enough left for the modern Democrat.

P.S. For those who want to rail on me for "letting" my 20-something son go to a Talarico event, I've decided to let him figure out for himself who's the proper party for long-term governance, while providing some simple ideas and questions to ponder along the way. He doesn't respond well to being told what to do...

I appreciate this post.

I am Facebook friends with many of my former students, and as you say, quite a few of them have posted stories of going to hear Talarico speak and extolling his Christian vision vs. the evil divisiveness of the Republicans, particularly related to immigration.

It worries me.

I hope they are hard hearted about it. I realize that won't play well in the media, but we need to lock this **** down.

That's letting them off easy. We need to utilize AI to find out how to clone the founders and then give them modern weaponry and let them loose. We are p00sies but they went HAM over MUCH less.

So far, he isn't bringing over new people, just capturing the attention of the reliable democrat voters.

Talarico is the typical progressive "Christian", heading to a liberal seminary and then espousing his version of "social justice" Jesus alone with zero views on sin, atonement, and salvation.

He's a wolf in sheep's clothing, which is why he's dangerous. He's leading people astray from a right view of Jesus. His politics are just a stepping stone.

I agree with this. When my son and I revisit this conversation, one of the points I plan on bringing up is the difference between blind compassion and compassion with an expectation of personal responsibility.

The flaw in Talarico's premise is that because Republicans expect a level of personal responsiblity given by those who have entered this country illegally, he assumes Republicans are devoid of compassion. In actuality, it is the opposite. True compassion helps those who are willing to play by the rules, and who are willing to find a personal purpose in life beyond taking advantage of those who are helping them.

Immigrants who are willing to go through the proper processes of immigration, and who are willing to assimilate into American culture, are completely welcome. Those who have short-circuited the process, or who came in with zero vetting and have no intention of melting into American culture, need to go back home.

Talarico is white-washing the deeper levels of what is motivating immigration enforcement in favor of a simple good/bad argument.

If it wasn't abundantly clear all along...

This just goes to show they aren't in the race because of underlying beliefs. This is all political opportunism.

BTW... Jazzy Crocket isn't intelligent enough for the Senate.

There have been and still are some really dumb Senators. I'd like to think she has no chance but Beto vs Cruz gave me some pause. Was waaaay too close.

How delusional does Ghetto Barbie have to be to think she is popular enough to win a Senate race in Texas? I know a bunch of traditional democrats who won't vote if she's the nominee.

If Paxton is the nominee, it is not a safe seat.

Given the Democrats are going to turn out in mass, just like they did in 2018 because of Trump, it will be way too close.

Cornyn would beat any of the Democrats without much effort.

Beto pretended to be some cool white guy hipster and still lost big

what makes you think ghetto Jasmine will do any better?!?!

literally EVERY single Jasmine voter already voted for Beto.

it's not like she has some untapped well of white rural voters who are like:

"yeah I really like what this young black female is talking about!!"

Wesley Hunt needs to win the primary. I love Paxton, but he is too damaged for a general election.

Whoever Trump endorses will win the primary. Fealty will determine it.

Talarico will win the dem nomination going away.

A liberal measures compassion by how many people collect welfare.

A conservative measures compassion by how many people have jobs.
