IMHO

Now we need the christofash crim Paxton to win the Rethug run-off over Cornyn and we just might win the Senate seat (Talarico v Paxton was the ideal match-up before the voting started).

Anybody know?

All of the congressional seats now have a general election candidate or are heading into a runoff.

I remember that being a big deal. Or is that only for federal and state office?

Texas residents?

They both had such a way with simple language projecting a powerful message. We need them both back in Washington.

She would have to change districts and
run in that primary.

Per MS NOW discussion earlier.

A senator's chief of staff's salary is almost as much as the senator's salary.

The two of them together could be a powerful joint force advancing legislative policy objectives if they see those objectives in essentially the same way.

Is this practical? Or do they hate each other's guts? I certainly hope not.

with national visibility to being an invisible staffer? Do you have any idea how sexist and offensive that sounds, whatever your actual intentions with that post may be?

If Crockett has lost, then what will be her visibility?

Will she campaign for him and be a media surrogate for him?

That would be great! But then what of her future after November?

If Talarico wins the seat, I think the offer should at least be made.

Whoever he might otherwise have in mind for the job can't possibly be as big help to him and the People of Texas as Jasmine Crockett would be.

Unless she litigates her primary loss and the two of them end up hating each other's guts.

NOPE

Future...She's a Strong Voice For Our Democracy!

Part of why she ran for Senate

Not sure of the rules in Texas

or for any reason. Let some right winger run as independent.

Crockett ran for senate because she was gerrymandered out You can not run for two positions at the same time in Texas

No more to be seen.

She could do very well in primary debates.

I see very little chance we risk nominating a female POTUS candidate for the 3rd time in the last 4 cycles. The US is simply too misogynistic atm.

Also, the US deep racism and religious bias (against non Christians) needs to be taken into account. Same for homophobia (especially against gay men, as lesbians tend to have easier times getting elected now).

As for VP, she presents a chance to become a focal point of attacks from the right designed to scare off swing voters, moderates, centrists, white suburbanites, etc, which breaks the old rule number 1 for VP chosing (do no harm).

On election night 2024, when it was clear that Harris had lost, I predicted 2 white, straight, centre left Christian males as our 2028 ticket.

As a mixed race (genetic WWIII in a human body, lol: mum is a Bajan (Barbados) mixed race black/etc West Indian, plus white Swedish (my father is 100 per cent Swede), Han Chinese, Lebanese, Sephardic Portuguese Jewish, East Indian, etc), lesbian, atheist, social democratic (NOT democratic socialist) type progressive female, that prediction pains me, but I am nothing if not a realist and pragmatic when it comes to my predictions and what is needed to win in a fucked up Trumpian-inflected splintered national electoral ecosphere.

Crockett comes with more inherent risk than potential gain IMHO.

Same for AOC and a 2028 POTUS run. Hopefully she runs for Schumer's NY Senate seat in 2028, whether he runs for re-election again or not, as she is blocked from House leadership by the moderate/centrist/conservative Dem caucuses (with help as of late, sadly, from the retiring Pelosi). Some of groups (and individual members of them) detest AOC, like many in the extraordinarily problematic (on many issues and stances) No Labels-spawned Problem Solvers Caucus.

That all said, I absolutely respect a differing opinion in regards to my predictions.

Cheers,

Cel

I'm just tired of Democrats being so risk-averse, to the point that it probably turns off some voters; especially young voters. I agree that AOC's best move is to run for Senate, but I would love to see Jasmine Crockett in the presidential primaries, partly to make them more exciting and draw viewers, but I also do think she is so bright and interesting that she could take off like a rocket in those debates.

My worst fear is that she would opt to be some panelist on a CNN show when we have such a need for better elected officials.

politics.

sure, bro

Bro

they would very much have preferred Crockett so they could pull their usual racist, misogynist bullshit
