Jasmine Crockett didn’t simply lose her Senate primary. She staged a slow-motion meltdown on the way out the door, complete with preemptive claims of cheating and “disenfranchisement,” long before the votes were even done being counted.
Early Tuesday evening, while ballots were still being tallied across 254 Texas counties, Crockett started laying the groundwork for an excuse. She told supporters there had been “a lot of confusion” in Dallas County. She insisted that “people have been disenfranchised,” blaming Republicans for supposedly targeting Dallas and hinting darkly at votes that might not count. Then she left her own watch party early and told the crowd not to expect results that night, saying, “We’re not gonna have election results tonight, in my opinion,” and declaring she wouldn’t be back.
The story she spun was simplistic: It was the Republicans’ fault. Republicans messed with the rules, voters got confused, and now the integrity of the election is in doubt. Oh, and blame Republicans!
It was a true Stacey Abrams-level election conspiracy theory, as if Republicans were desperate to stop her from winning her primary. It’s ridiculous that there are still Election Day court fights over election law and closing times, but the sad truth is that they are nothing new. Democrats like to find excuses, no matter how flimsy, to extend voting hours.
Crockett, though, treated it like a constitutional crisis, and she laid the groundwork for not conceding the primary. She told her supporters, “We will not know what votes are to be tallied from Election Day out of Dallas County,” and urged them to “remain resilient” and “figure out where it is that you are supposed to vote.” She talked about “cheating” and behavior that “cannot be allowed to be rewarded.” She said her team was “getting stories” and “collecting evidence,”

Is she saying her people are too stupid to figure out their polling place?
Her opponent, Talarico, is more dangerous because he poses as a “moderate” while holding just as insane ideologies as the Party in general. He tries to come across as a “compassionate, Christian moderate” which will fool some churchy older white Texans. Crockett, on the other hand, is an immediate turn-off to any sane person.
We have our share of idiots here.
“I won, and nobody can prove me wrong!”
James Talarico might do well to hire dear Jasmine as his campaign manager, and appoint her as chief advisor, should he prevail and somehow get elected as Senator from Texas. Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.
Presuming nothing. We are dealing with huge egos with an unbelievable degree of entitlement here.

I agree, Democrats are racist, they should boycott the election.
“””Today, she’ll find a Walmart and engage in a braid-pulling brawl in the front lobby.”””
Do they have Waffle Houses in her district?
“This is the Demonicrat Party we have to deal with going forward.”
Going forward??
And backward! They’ve been like that for decades!
“getting stories”
I’ll bet she is....
All I ever saw was a big mouth, long manicured fingernails, different hairdo every day....
“”million votes in Texas. That is stunning to me.””
Scary too!!!!
She got thumped dude.....it wasn’t even close.
Her problem is she’s too stupid to STFU...that and because she’s a double minority she’s probably never heard the word NO in her life.
Entitlement mentality is strong in this little twit.
Yep, hopefully she will convince her supporters to stay home and the Republicans get a bigger win.

You’ll get no argument from me, but that’s no reason not to let 2 Rats split the vote in the general against the Republican, if they demand to do so...
Fake eyelash stocks will never recover.
She did profit quite handsomely from it.
Popcorn at my place!
Her support was largely from the black community. While not Hispanic, Talarico won the largely Hispanic counties in South Texas. Blacks represent 13% of Texas’s population and are overwhelmingly Democratic. Most of the counties where Crockett won lie east of I-35, where the bulk of the state’s African American population live. Hispanics are about 40% of the population and have a Democratic tradition, although in 2024, Trump carried South Texas counties that had previously gone Democratic going back to the early 1900s. Talarico won counties like Webb (Laredo) and Cameron (Brownsville) by 2:1 margins. Generally, white liberals would have supported Talarico because he stands the better chance of beating either Cornyn or Paxton. in Travis County (Austin), ground zero for Texas white liberals, Talarico won by an almost 3:1 margin. Talarico won the suburban Austin counties of Hays and Williamson by 2:1 margins.
Crockpot is a fool. Republicans WANTED her to win. We knew it would be an easier victory for us in November running against a racist fool like her. Talirico (her opponent) even ran a campaign commercial warning about the probability of Repubs voting for her in the primary.
LEFTISTS from CALIFORNIA have moved to Texas to CHANGE IT TO BLUE!
