[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ideally, I prefer Crockett.  However, she has a great position right now in the House and uses her platform well.  I’d love for her to continue and grow in that roll.

Based on a few things, Talarico may be the better candidate for Texas and I think voters who want a fresh face and more youth in the Senate will like that too.

This way, we get both.  [/quote]
Can Crockett keep her House seat if she loses the Senate primary? I’m not sure.

I prefer Talarico in this race because Crockett hasn’t really presented a good reason for her running other than “Trump hates me” and she’s polling worse than he is against all of the possible opponents. [/quote]
No. She gave it up.[/quote]

Correct. As I understand it she was asked to run for the Senate, but then she has polled so badly the Democratic powers that be threw their support behind Talarico--including the whole Colbert/Talarico set up that got him launched. No one said anything about it from the government. It was CBS legal that brought it up. And Colbert didn't want to give Crockett equal time.

As politics goes, all the puppet masters behind the scenes doing their thing.[/quote]
I think you understand most to all of this incorrectly. [/quote]

Then explain why this is incorrect.[/quote]
Who do you think asked her to run for the Senate? Talarico and Colin Allred were already running and she’s been a star in the House. So tired of good House members throwing that away for long shots at Senate seats (looking at you, Allred/Beto/Tim Ryan/Val Demings etc.) Colbert didn’t launch Talarico and it would be really stupid to schedule a “launch” less than a week before the start of early voting. Talarico was “launched” months and months ago when he appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast. And FCC Chair Brendan Carr absolutely has said he’s reconsidering the exception to the equal time rule that talk shows have had since the 1960s, which is what CBS legal told Colbert, who has had Crockett on his show twice. Not sure if anything you said is correct.[/quote]
