General Discussion

You're the one saying that they only plan to show up to support the democratic candidate in the general election if that candidate happens to be black, and if a white candidate wins the primary, "10 black voters will stay home for every 1 white voter that candidate gains."

Doesn't sound like those voters actually are there to support democrats, if what you are saying is true, and they just pick and choose, and only want to support black candidates, and screw anyone else who wins the primary.

If Jasmine wins the primary, good for her, and she'll have my vote in the general. But she needs to understand that she entered a race very late, when there was already a popular candidate running who was generating a lot of goodwill and support from Texans. She can't act all surprised when it isn't a runaway, and when many Texans already really liked and connected with Talarico and were planning to vote for him (I already was) and didn't switch over to her just because she jumped in at the eleventh hour. If her supporters decide to go scorched earth, well, that's a real shame and I guess she'll have poisoned the well.
