With such a short timeframe, her name ID is a huge advantage.
She is trying to change her image, but bitch we got you on tape doing all type of dumb shit and saying all type of dumb shit

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.
The best way to help other countries is to stop taking all of their resources and messing in their affairs.
The US goes into other countries and allows these multi-national companies to loot the entire country.
Then they give the victim countries aide, these fucks are full of shit.
I think she can do things you and I view as childish or unbecoming (that video is terrible imo) but that doesn’t mean she isn’t taking the race seriously. She could be trying to meet the electorate— specifically the non-voters she has talked about targeting— where they are. Maybe dumb shit appeals to dumb people.
Trump didn’t win based on “results and persuasion beyond his base.” I am not agreeing that the elections are analogous or advocating for her strategy. But while “like Kendrick said, they not like US” induces an eye roll from me and she doesn’t meet the Obama standard we might expect from a talented black woman just a year younger than he was when he announced he was running for president 19 years ago, it’s a different era. A contingent of people disdained AOC’s Instagram live chats, which were overwhelmingly substantive, because her style didn’t speak to (and wasn’t aimed at) them. They mocked her Twitter “clapbacks.” Crockett, though a decade older than AOC, is a natural progression of that generational difference — and a black manifestation of it. She is obviously trying to appeal to a very specific and younger demographic. At the cost of others, perhaps, but that’s an argument about strategy, not intent.
Although I detest the "black woman" narrative always being used all willy nilly. Shes right about the switch up. Ray Charles saw this coming.

Building your campaign around appealing to non-voters is like marketing your steakhouse to vegetarians.
This campaign is just a big vanity project her. It's about her and her ego. 90% of the time she speaks it's about herself and then she will mix in a few lines about helping people.
She hardly ever talks about the struggles the average person is going through. No one cares about Trump attacking her or the GOP attacking her. People care about their own lives.
The voters don't care about giving her a political win.
There is very little in her political career that demonstrates she is focused on anyone but herself.
