DELUSIONAL: Texas Democrat Crockett Claims GOP Voters Want Her in Senate

In a stunning display of self-delusion that would make even the most seasoned politicians cringe, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) boldly claimed on CNN that "independents and Republicans" actually prefer her over fellow Democrat State Rep. James Talarico in their upcoming Senate primary race.

Speaking on "The Lead" Monday, Crockett somehow managed to keep a straight face while making this ridiculous assertion. The same woman who has spent her time in Congress pushing the radical left's agenda now wants us to believe that conservative Texans are secretly rooting for her?

The Left's Reality Problem

This isn't just political spin – it's a complete break from reality. Crockett, who has consistently voted with Nancy Pelosi's progressive wing, apparently thinks Republican voters in the Lone Star State have forgotten her record of supporting open borders, massive government spending, and every woke policy imaginable.

What's truly telling is that Crockett felt the need to make this claim at all. When you're a Democrat trying to win over your own party's voters by claiming the opposition secretly loves you, that's a pretty clear sign your campaign is in trouble.

"The fact that she's making this argument shows how desperate Democrats have become to appear mainstream," one Texas GOP strategist told reporters.

The reality is simple: Texas Republicans aren't looking for the best Democrat – they're working to elect America First conservatives who will stand with President Trump's agenda, not obstruct it at every turn.

Texas Sees Through the Charade

Crockett's fantasy reveals everything wrong with today's Democratic Party. They're so disconnected from ordinary Americans that they genuinely believe their radical positions are popular with conservatives. It's the same delusion that cost them the White House and both chambers of Congress.

While Crockett dreams of Republican support, real Texans are focused on securing the border, bringing back American energy dominance, and draining the swamp – none of which align with her progressive voting record.

Do Democrats really think voters are this gullible, or have they simply lost all connection to reality?

The title says it all - absolutely delusional. Where is she getting this data from, her Twitter echo chamber?

My Republican friends and I were laughing about this at our church group yesterday. Not a chance any of us would support her anti-business policies.

The disconnect from reality is stunning. Does she really think her progressive positions align with conservative Texas voters?

She's completely out of touch with reality! I've lived in Texas my whole life and can't think of a single Republican who would vote for her radical agenda.

Exactly! She must be living in a fantasy world if she thinks conservatives want her socialist policies.

This is what happens when politicians only listen to their own party's talking points. Has she actually talked to any GOP voters, or is she just making assumptions?

Good question! I'd love to see what poll or data she's basing this claim on.

LOL! This is rich coming from someone who consistently votes against Texas values.

She supports massive government spending and thinks GOP voters want that? Maybe she should look at how red Texas stays election after election.
