If she runs she loses the GOP primary, no conceivable way that Republicans are gonna renominate somebody who lost their stronghold just a year back. And if she makes it to the general she will just be McSally but in Texas.

If she wants to screw over a certain someone, she might just do it.

And this time she'll unleash her wealth.

The only point of her running would be to screw over Cramp, which is probably in line with character motivation.

Which makes it incumbent on Lilyana to keep both Brookshire and Cramp out of the primary somehow.

Yep, if Cramp runs, I think she'd frankly believe that Joe Frankston wouldn't stand a chance alone given his more moderate positions, even more moderate than Frankston Sr.

So a disruption would be needed, hence why her money would play a greater role in blanketing airwaves and playing as dirty as Cramp (well, maybe not that bad but closer).

Someone should make a Democrat running for the open Texas seat a grandchild of LBJ.

If Cramp depresses the evangelical turnout again, the Democrat can once again narrowly take Tejas.

It’s already going to be less difficult for them, but that’s just making it too easy.

Brooky literally lost due to a perfect storm of

-Depressed evangelical turnout thanks to Cramp sitting on his ass doing absolutely nothing
-Suburban swing against her as suburbanites viewed her social positions in line with Cramp's
-Increased black turnout due to her rather extreme crime policies

If any of those 3 things did not happen she would have won

I don't think he could win against a halfway decent dem

way too much bad blood with Cramp now, he is a big reason why Brookie lost. He undermined her in the general for no reason other than spite.

Frankston Jr. has his weaknesses as well... all it would take is someone from his right to point out his.... less conservative positions and the Dem or his fellow GOP challenger pointing out that he's from a political family to put him at a disadvantage.

Frankston Name Recognition will help him with apathetic voters, and I put socially moderate in the app but he has no public record of statements, he could market himself as his father's best ideological successor and sweep through the Primary.

The CBC doesn't seem to care.

As far as I can tell Charles Rangel didn't really identify with his Puerto Rican roots on a personal level so he probably didn't care.

As for Adriano Espaillat, the CBC hasn't let him join the Caucus because he's a member of the CHC.

And Richie Torres and Candace Valenzuela have both called for the CBC by-laws the change so they can both join the CBC and the CHC when/if they get elected.

What's even weirder is that the CBC let's multiracial Black members who are members of other race-based caucuses join, such as Kamala Harris and Bobby Scott, who are both members of the CAPAC.

Edit: Doing some more research on the topic now, Karen Bass has said that the one-or-the-other rule isn't part of the CBC bylaws, rather a tradition.

Also, I found another Afro-Latino member of Congress, Antonio Delgado, he's a member of the CBC but I can't seem to find anything on how he feels about the CBC/CHC thing
