Watching from next-door Louisiana, I’ll confess to a certain amount of heartbreak at the implosion of Jasmine Crockett in Texas’ U.S. Senate Democrat primary race.
We don’t give poor Jasmine the due amount of love and credit for the true treasure she is. There may not be a more perfect specimen for the entitled fraudulence the modern Democrat Party is built on, other than perhaps Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib. But Tuesday night, following weeks and months of disqualifying statements cheered on by the “Yass, Queen” chorus among the Hard Left, Crockett’s political career ended with a thud.
As the votes were being counted and the seven-point loss to the pasty white James Talarico mounted, this was poor Jasmine:
The race was called almost immediately after she left the podium.
It’s hard to imagine somebody so virtuous and brimming with character could be finding herself professionally nugatory, but then again:
Gosh, we’ll miss her.
So the narrative on the right is now that with Talarico, who outspent Crockett something like $25 million to $5 million in order to win by seven points, as the Democrats’ nominee laying in wait for the survivor of the John Cornyn–Ken Paxton GOP primary runoff cage match, that Texas Senate seat is in real jeopardy.
