Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett made one of the most delusional statements in recent political memory Monday, claiming on CNN that "independents and Republicans" actually prefer her over fellow Democrat James Talarico in their Senate primary race.
Speaking on "The Lead," Crockett doubled down on the absurd notion that conservative Texans are somehow clamoring for a radical leftist who has consistently voted against President Trump's America First agenda and supports the very policies that drove voters away from Democrats in droves.
This is the same Jasmine Crockett who has been a reliable rubber stamp for every failed Biden-era policy, from open borders to crushing energy regulations that hurt Texas oil workers. Now she wants us to believe Republicans are secretly rooting for her?
Reality Check: Texas Republicans Know Better
Let's be crystal clear about what Crockett represents: she's a progressive Democrat who has opposed border security, supported defunding police initiatives, and pushed Green New Deal policies that would devastate Texas's energy sector. The idea that independent and Republican voters would choose her over any candidate is laughable.
Texas Republicans just helped deliver a massive victory for President Trump and the MAGA movement. They're not about to start supporting Democrats who spent years attacking everything they believe in.
"This is classic Democrat delusion," said one Texas GOP strategist. "They're so disconnected from reality they actually think their radical agenda appeals to conservatives."
Crockett's comments reveal the fundamental problem plaguing Democrats: they're completely out of touch with mainstream American values. While President Trump is delivering on his promises to secure the border and restore American energy dominance, Democrats like Crockett are living in a fantasy world where their failed policies somehow appeal to the very voters who rejected them.
The truth is, Texas voters have spoken loud and clear. They want leaders who will support Trump's America First agenda, not obstruct it. Crockett's desperate attempt to rebrand herself as some kind of bipartisan favorite fools no one—especially not the Republicans and independents she claims support her.
Will Texas voters see through this transparent political theater, or do Democrats really believe their own propaganda?
