I had prepared myself to support both by voting and donating money to Collin Allred, when he surprised me and, I guess, many others by dropping out. That left me with two candidates to choose from. I didn’t particularly care for either one, but Jasmine Crocket has convinced me that she is no way, no how.
How can I or would I support someone who keeps throwing bombs out there that people like me have a slave mentality, that we are too stupid to do the right thing for ourselves? Well, she may like to call some of us stupid, but how can one tell a legal Mexican from an illegal one? You can’t. So how can you look at someone and see if they are smart or stupid? You can’t. Thank you, Jasmine Crockett, for pointing me in the right direction; you are not the kind who would be good for us Mexicans. Besides, she claims they need Mexicans to pick the cotton, the new slaves.
In early April, while speaking at Grace Baptist Church’s 125th Anniversary Program, Crockett appeared to imply that immigrants need to be in the country because “none of y’all trying to go and farm right now.”
“So, I had to go around the country educating people about what immigrants do for this country and the fact that we are a country of immigrants,” Crockett said at the April event. “The fact is ain’t none of y’all trying to go and farm right now. You not! You not! We’re done picking cotton. We are! You can’t pay us enough to find a plantation.”

From the LA Times
One of the worst features of the election primary system in our polarized “Red vs. Blue” time is the tendency of primary voters to flock to the candidate they most want to “destroy” the other party, not the candidate best positioned to do so.
Let’s say a zombie is scratching at your door. You’ve got a shotgun, a handgun and your favorite frying pan. The shotgun has the greatest chance of success, the handgun — if one is careful and skilled — has a solid chance of working, and the frying pan? It probably won’t dispatch the threat but, come on, how cool would it be to take out a zombie with a frying pan? So, you go with that.
… Crockett is very smart, but she is in many ways a Democratic version of Republican bomb throwers and social media phenoms Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert. Indeed, Crockett has already trademarked her insult for Greene (whom she said has a “bleach-blonde bad-built butch body”). Crockett has also said that 80% of the “most violent crimes” are committed by “white supremacists,” Black people can’t be Republicans because Republicans are racist, Latinos have a “slave mentality” and that police shouldn’t prevent crime, they can only solve it, etc.
This stuff may work in a safe congressional district, but it’s not the stuff of a successful statewide race in Texas.
Jasmine Crockett defends herself, Houston Crockett.
