General Discussion

She appeals to progressive democrats across the country. She will sink like a flat balloon once she has to run in the general in Texas.

It's the same problem with AOC. Both of these brilliant women are democratic firebrands. But to win in a general election, they have to win the votes of (I'm sorry to say) backwards conservative voters. AOC has no chance of winning the general election in 2028 so it would be a huge mistake to nominate her.

Crockett has no chance of winning in Texas. She plays well only to a tiny sliver of progressive democrats and Texas is very, very conservative, and growing more conservative because our Hispanic population grows larger with every census. We are now a Hispanic majority state. Someone like Talarico, who is a Hispanic man, has a better chance of appealing to Hispanic voters, and both rallying Democratic voters to show up at the polls, while perhaps also convincing some Hispanic voters in the middle who might be unhappy with immigration and ICE to flip their votes.

With Crockett, we're going to encounter the same racism and sexism we saw with Harris, and with Clinton.
