The Grifter Jasmine Ratchet Says She's Running for Texas Senate

Actually she says she's "closer to YES than NO" but she's been threatening to run forever, and now that the Texas redistricting map is being implemented, she will probably not be able to win her new "home" district. (Because it's represented by another black Democrat she'd have to defeat in the primary.)

I don't know why I didn't realize this before, but this idiot grifter has been claiming for months that Republicans -- who she constantly attacks, often in very personal schoolyard bully terms, like attacking Republican women for their appearances -- keep stopping her in airports telling her that they secretly support her in her ratchet retarded attack on Republicans.

I now understand why this shameless narcissist and grifter is telling this obvious lie: She wants to be able to tell Democrats in a primary election that, despite her having extremely high negatives in polls, Republicans secretly support her and they're just lying to pollsters because Republican women (who she says are ugly and unfashionable) feel they have to lie to pollsters about supporting Jasmine Ratchet or else their violent MAGA husbands will beat them to death.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) makes it clear that she’s running for Senate from Texas now that it’s clear redistricting will push through.

Crockett’s political career is effectively over.

🚨 BREAKING: Jasmine Crockett announces she will most likely be running for U.S. Senate in Texas in 2026

Oh PLEASE do it, Crockett 🤣

In order to run, she’d have to forgo re-election in the House, and there’s NO CHANCE Texas sends ghetto trash like her to the Senate

Can she win the primary?

It's very doable, says David Strom.

If Texas Dems actually nominate Jasmine Crockett, it’d be like if Republicans nominated MTG for senate, but in New York or Illinois instead of Georgia. Absolutely legendary stupidity, not even the 2022 GOP would’ve done something like this. https://t.co/di5kobIEBu

She wants to "raise her profile" while losing the race so she can then grift forever as a highly-paid "consultant" or even "executive" in a leftwing grift organization. She has no real aspirations to higher office -- unless she is "seriously retarded," as Trump would say -- and now just wants to live the Democrat Dream of being paid just for breathing.

You called them “slave patrols,” Jasmine. https://t.co/f6yliwpyBr

she said she'll run if Cornyn doens't get the nom.

In other words, she thinks she'll have a chance if she can run against Paxton or anyone except Cornyn.

I know, I know. Cornyn sucks. And she has "no chance" no matter who the R is.

Georgia has 2 far-left D's. Georgia will probably vote for a D governor, because Atlanta blacks will help steal the election, and R turnout will probably be low in '26.

Arizona has two far-left D's.

________________________

I think you're reaching, Ace. Ratchet wouldn't bother herself with actual groundwork. She'd skip the first lie, and move right onto the second lie. There's no risk in overt lying in her mind. If someone accuses her of making it up she just points to her face and says, "I'm black. You're racist."

I, also, think the longer we keep Ratchet relevant, the more beneficial it is for our side. The Left STILL has no post general election leader. Everyone is afraid to stick their head up. As a result, we have these radical retards making a lot of noise, and no one telling them to use "their inside voice."

Cornyn is loathed not for his politics (although they are just typical deep state) but mainly because as soon as he got to DC he forgot all about everyone back home and ignored them completely.
Cruz aggravates a lot of people, but he never forgot who voted for him.
Btw although I support Paxton, I don't have any problem with Wes Hunt, the 3rd candidate in the GOP race, just a bit concerned about his name recognition.

They've actually got too many cooks in the kitchen. Newsom, Kamala, AOC, Madmani, Schumer, Jeffries (Pelosi just threw in the towel), a few more governors, all vying to be the face of the Democrat party.

The problem, as I see it, is that the media is confused and still shell-shocked, and doesn't know who to anoint as the next supreme leader yet.

Once they figure that out things will shake out.
I suspect by the end of next year they'll start coalescing around somebody after they've seen the '26 election results.

188 OK this is weapons grade stupid. I just got an email saying our credit score went down by 13 points because we paid off our mortgage. We have zero debt and haven't had a balance on a credit card in over 10 years but we have a 40+ year positive credit history, that should count for something.

I paid off all of mine and my score jumped 108 points.
