She would be absolutely awesome and an absolute pain in the ass for Trump.
They tried to get her out by redistricting, kind of makes sense. She has a built in campaign sign running against Cruz. Just put a giant bilboard of his beaten puppy looking face when cold calling for Trump in 2016 that says “Trump insulted my family, my father and my wife. I am now in his pocket. Would you vote for me?”
edit: or him in the Airport that says “Which way to Cancun?”
Actual strong progressive candidate
James Talarico
Terry Virts
Colin Allred
Jasmine Crockett
Quite a slate of candidates …
No disrespect to Crockett but I just don’t see her having as realistic a chance of winning as James Talarico. There’s a ton of republicans that strongly dislike Paxton but would still get out to vote for him over Crockett. Talarico could actually get some of those votes, though, or at least cause some of those republicans to stay home.
She probably has more name recognition but will run into the wall of deep-seated racism in Texas for the general. Talarico is probably more palatable to some of those people, but not yet as widely recognized. Allred needs to bow out; he had his chance.
Texas isn’t electing a liberal black woman to statewide office. I’m sorry.
I wish it were different but that’s not how Texas works.
I want her as my president!
The chances of her winning statewide in Texas feels small. But, if she has national ambitions and can secure some big money backing that would be comfortable losing the battle to win the long term war, this could be an interesting track to the national stage.
*In the lead among Democratic candidates. No Democrat has won a US Senate seat for Texas since 1988, and none has served since 1993.
Love her after seeing her in the Kash Patel senate hearing
Talarico will likely be in the lead by the time the Texas democratic primary rolls around. As he boosts his name recognition by campaigning throughout Texas, he’ll start polling more strongly. Talarico raised $6M in just three weeks, mostly through small donations, setting a new record for a Texas US Senate run.
yes. I don’t live in Texas, but she is a force to be reckoned with. Go girl.
Jasmine, I like you but I like Talarico more. He has an advantage she doesn’t and that’s his religion. If he weren’t running, I’d vote for her if I thought she had a chance
You don’t want to run in a tougher district so your move is run for statewide office tx senate seat? what are we talking about here
I want THIS President please!!!
Stay out of it, Talarico is the better candidate for a state wide race in Texas
Asmuch as I would like to see her stir the pot in Texas, we need her at the federal level
Can she move ala Hillary? It’s never happening in Texas and exercising a campaign to show how shitty the other side is great, but she’s too valuable to be sacrificed
This is the oldest scam in the books. The sun will burn out before Texas elects a democrat
She has no choice at this point! Her seat is going to be erased due to the Texas gerrymander.
Sounds like the perfect candidate to raise $250M only to lose by 10 points in the general election to Ken Paxton.
No.
Talarico please.
Too bad they’d just never confirm her, or reopen the government. We’re so fucked.
I’m a Texan living in Boerne near San Antonio. I’d vote for her in a heartbeat. That said, between the media misinformation in this state and the gerrymandering, I can’t imagine that she would have a chance.
In fairness, I’d vote for a dried pine cone over Ted Cruz. That being said she is amazing and I hope she goes for it. She would fight the fight
Must needed!
