"Regardless, these moments reinforced a growing perception that Crockett’s political approach prioritized Instagram stories and outrage over precision."
Also, lack of respect for other's reputations and for the voter's, in general. She demonstrated a total lack of character.
She probably would not have defeated the republican nominee, but none the less, it's time for her to go. The issue though, we are still left with so many of these types in Washington DC, and even though they represent a tiny fraction of the country, they do affect all of us. There are still plenty like her that remain in congress. Listening to the left talk about the recent action in Iran, makes me wonder just what country they work for. It certainly doesn't sound like they represent those of us in America.
Agreed. Her "bull in a china shop" antics would have been an easy target. Talarico is definitely very liberal, he is more of wolf in sheep's clothing (or stealth if you like) type.
When Chris offers political essays he receives more comments than his finance essays. Chris always gets it right when it comes to politics, but I am biased in this regard because his opinions echo mine. Slanche!
So far, so good. But we still have AOC, Maxine Waters, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib to deal with. I say these names not in connection with any ideology, but as a representative examples of clueless airheads who can only get facetime on camera by spewing hatred and intolerance.
I think it depends on the Congressional district. While Democrats in Crockett's district may have had enough of her, Democrats in Al Green's, Maxine Waters', AOC's, Ayanna Pressley's, Rosa DeLauro's, Eric Swalwell's, and Bennie Thompson's districts, they are just fine with their chosen lunatics.
And notice I didn't mention Omar Ilhan and Rashida Tlaib, as they don't represent US Congressional districts any longer. They are now forward positions in the Islamic invasion.
What i find most depressing is the money and talent that sourced and coached this woman to become the fool she became could have been used for far better outcomes. If you see early interviews of her in her career she was rather civil and seemed an intelligent candidate.
Not long after her posing for photos with certain political rainmakers...the spectacle soon followed. A puppet.
There's maybe 20 revolting politicians on TV all the time. There are 435 congresspeople and 100 senators.
I suspect the majority -- I'm not say 51% or 70% or what -- but "the majority" are trying hard at the difficult business of democracy.
I have a rep down in Red State Southern Appalachians where I live in cultural -- well, "bliss" is too strong a word but let's say "Heritage America" is all around. I like that. And it's not even racial in the least. It's cultural.
My rep is a Republican. You'd never see him anywhere but hard at work for his constituents, as far as I can tell. He's got a wonderful public outreach office that has helped me on an issue relating to gross incompetence at a govt bureaucracy I had to deal with. I'm the first to say private enterprises can be every bit as bad. It's cultural too.
It's a shame politics is such a clown car, and that -- admittedly -- readers and subscribers often come to kick the dummy articles. That's not the blogger's fault at all. I get it. It's business. Well a people gets the government it deserves.
After all, MEGO topics may be the hard business of democracy but they don't entertain.
Hopefully Ms Crockett will find a life somewhere the private sector. I suspect she probably isn't the character she plays on TV. If she had a real job, she'd have to play it straight.
She is so tedious.... a total nitwit but smart enough to pander to the multitude of even bigger nitwits. Alas, the ratio of critical fact-based thinkers to total nitwits (Jasmine included) is astonishingly tiny, but here we are. Unfortunately, there will likely be a different nitwit to replace her. So, we are left to wonder which devil we prefer to deal with: the one we know or one we don't.
I’m happy to see her 15 minutes are up.
She'll probably end up in a Tyler Perry series.

Correct. And everyone knows that's MY schtick, not hers.
HA
It was always about the intelligence for me. How is it possible to have a negative IQ?
Because Instagram stories and outrage are perfectly in sync with what her constituency relate and respond to.
When in Rome.
Good riddance indeed. Now hopefully kooks Omar and Tlaib are next to get booted out of office.
You forgot AOC...
It's a shame that she can no longer advance her unique .. "style". There goes a hilariously entertaining general election.
The problem is Crockett was not going to win the actual election. Talarico will have the media behind him and has a better chance in November.
Yep. Exactly my thinking. There is lots of electoral history where Texas Senate elections went to D.
If she was white, even dumb Democrats and Leftists wouldn't tolerate her crass stupidity for more than 5 seconds.
She probably would not have defeated the republican nominee, but none the less, it's time for her to go.

I was rooting for Crockett to win. Without her, Republicans will have an uphill battle at retaining the Texas Senate seat.

I find it hard to believe that she is an attorney.
I know, me too. There's a couple attorneys in Congress on both sides of the aisle I feel this way about.
She graduated from a law school that is consistently ranked in the bottom 10%.
I’d like to know how she passed the bar exam. She probably got a minority exemption and a free pass.?
The crop of DEI lawyers should have an asterisk attached to their JD diploma.

Kick the dummy? ;-)

Thank god she lost, may we never hear her name again.
If only that were true! I'd bet that CNN, MSNBC, CBS, etc. have her high on the list of "experts" that they'll call on for her "incisive" opinions.
