3. I am from Texas

I think both Crockett and Talarico are great people and wish we could have both their voices. Unfortunately, I fear we will have neither. Crockett stands no chance running in deep red Texas. Beto came as close as anyone has, only getting defeated by 3%, and he was a white guy. Crockett will have both sexism and racism working against her.

And this is exactly why republicans will ensure she is the candidate that makes it through the primary. They know Talarico, a Christian Hispanic man, would appeal much more to our majority Hispanic state, and present a bigger threat.
