From the article:

"Let me just qualify the Jasmine Crockett thing. She's not going to win a Senate seat in Texas, you guys. If Beto O'Rourke couldn't do it, Jasmine Crockett is not going to do it," Rogers said. "It's nothing against her, it's just that she is a politician, in that she is very well-defined already, and it's my opinion that we're going to need someone who is less defined at this moment that rises up."

Rogers toyed with the idea of supporting James Talarico, who's running for the Senate in Texas as well.

"I haven't seen him before. It would be hard for them to define him as anything other than what he is, which is a rising Democratic politician from some place like Texas who is, yes, speaking a little bit to the middle, but at least he's someone we can't define already," voiced Rogers. "Gavin Newsom is defined. I believe Jasmine Crockett is defined. I'm just trying to win, here, and I really feel differently than we did in 2016. The way to win now is to go with the energy."


I'm about to bounce to gym, so I s'pose now is as good a time as any to catch up on the episode. I've been dying to hear Bowen's SNL exit stuff.
