Allred out, Crockett in on Senate race? Interesting

The former, when I heard about it Monday afternoon, didn't shock me.

The latter? Does Crockett think she can

A. Beat Talarico and

B. If so, go hot-wheeling (I see what I did) past either Big John or Kenny Boy Paxton (and any Green or Libertarian) in the general?

We'll see. I think she has zero chance unless Kenny Boy beats Big John before his divorce details explode, but that they then DO explode, in part from Texas media getting the filing records unsealed. Otherwise, good luck on finding those "Trump-Crockett voters" you insist are out there.

Also of note on the Democrap side? Mark Veasey, rather than seek another term in Congress, is running for Tarrant County Judge

As for Allred? His claim he wanted the party to avoid a runoff because that would lessen its general election chances is about as high-grade of bullshit as Joaquin Castro's latest excuse, last month, why he couldn't run for statewide office.

Veasey? His current district had been redistricted by the Rethuglican Lege, but everybody expected him to run for Crockett's vacating seat. And, he's not the only Democrat filed to seek the nomination against GOP incumbent Tim O'Hare.
