I like Jasmine Crockett. She’s smart, she’s a fighter, she’s funny, and she calls bullshit when she sees it.
However, I was pulling for Talarico because I think he fits the Texas state-wide landscape better. He will definitely need the black vote which won’t be easy given last night’s voting fiasco where the Republicans “forgot” to update the correct voting locations for Democrats on the Texas website after their gerrymandering (Republicans know they must cheat to win). But, like I said, Crockett is smart. She knows the best revenge is a Democrat Senator. And hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Fingers crossed.
On the plus side, Talarico’s religious beliefs will carry some weight with Texas Latinos. And anytime you can move a vote from Republicans to a Democrat, that’s a twofer.
It’s going to bean uphill battle, but there is a path.
