So even if “cracker tweets” are to be dismissed without consideration, you were wrong. Nobody has a problem with cracker tweets when they are attacking Trump. Seems like you’re just in the tank for Jasmine and not interested in what she actually does as a legislator.
Do you have any response to the actual substance of what they said about Crockett?
In South Texas particularly, House Republicans are welcoming Crockett into the race with open arms after she forced former Rep. Colin Allred out of the Senate race. A moderate Democrat, Allred outpaced the top of the ticket by 8 points in South Texas last year during his failed bid against Sen. Ted Cruz.
“I think the worst-case scenario for some of these races is a Crockett nomination,” said South Texas Democratic strategist Bert Santibañez.
South Texas saw stark shifts toward President Trump last year as Hispanic voters continued to trend toward the Republican Party. Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez won reelection despite former Vice President Kamala Harris’ support cratering in the region. Harris lost all three Rio Grande Valley congressional districts; former President Biden had won some by as many as 15 points in 2020.
“I think looking at Harris’s underperformance, I’m sure there’s folks in those areas that are very leery of a Crockett nomination and potentially adding downward pressure to the ticket,” Santibañez said. He added that there appeared to be a “lack of coordination” in trying to run one of the strongest statewide tickets in Texas Democratic history.
Any Democrat who hopes to win statewide must perform well in the heavily Latino South Texas region. Scant polling suggests Crockett may have some work to do against potential GOP opponents among Hispanic voters. Crockett focused her nascent campaign on resisting Trump instead of highlighting cost-of-living concerns that this community prioritizes.
Crockett has leaned heavily into the national politics that ultimately sank Harris. That could present problems for the moderate Democrats in South Texas. Voters in the region appreciated Allred’s focus on local issues and centrist ideas. Hidalgo County Democratic Party Chairman Richard Gonzales said that Allred “spent a lot of time down here, he put in the work, and he was accessible to the people.” Allred had been in the Rio Grande Valley three times before he ended his campaign this week.
Even before Allred suspended his campaign, he’d won some support over state Rep. James Talarico in the primary campaign. Luciano Garza, a Democratic National Committee delegate from Weslaco, Texas, told National Journal that Talarico “believes in some things really out in left field,” referring to past comments the candidate made about gender.
Santibañez concluded in a postelection analysis that “Allred’s moderate candidacy and localized economic messaging allowed him to outperform Harris” along the border.
Crockett’s Senate bid could imperil South Texas Democrats
The unabashed liberal could present downballot problems if she wins the nomination.
Because Trump is a cracker so they are his people. So what’s your solution?
My solution?
Step one-- Everything doesn't revolve around Trump. That's why Crockett's launch video was so incredibly stupid. You gotta think much bigger than that.
For this race, the solution is improving the lives of people in Texas. That's why Talarico's launch video was a million times better than Crockett's-- it focused on real problems and proposed actions he supports to address them.
