[Jasmine Crockett Donald Trump] Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D) recently stated that not only is she’s “Coming for Trump” but she’s looking to turn Texas blue. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett also stated that while her supportive base appears to be supporting her, political analysts highly doubt that she is qualified to lead any kind of direct opposition to President Trump or his administration. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett presides over the 30^th Congressional District which encompasses Dallas, Lancaster, De Soto, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, and sections of the western part of batch springs Dallas Texas. In response to her recent political threat to President Trump, political analysts have presented several reasons as to why Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett not only possesses no threat to President Trump but will ultimately fail to secure a seat in the Texas congress.

For Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett to pose any kind of direct political threat to Trump, she would have to run for President. Unfortunately, this is something that cannot happen as President Trump is currently serving his second term and he’s technically ineligible to run for a third term. However, by running for a seat in the Texas senate, at best the only way she can fulfill her political threat of “Coming for Trump” is to possibly give him and his administration a hard time in terms of the seeking to passing bills and other forms of legislation to stifle his actions while President Trump is in office. It’s predicted that any bills or legislation she introduces to this fact will be considered dead on arrival.

In terms of Congresswomen’s rhetoric of “Turning Texas blue”, it can be considered nothing more than a pipedream of both Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and the Texas Democratic Party. This position can be taken because the Republican party controls all elected positions in the state of Texas and there hasn’t been a Democrat that has won any of the seats on this level since 1994. Not only that, but the Republican Party has also been able to maintain control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. While it’s generally accepted that Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is expected to do well in urban centers such as Austin, Dallas, Houston, El Paso, and San Antonio; these urban centers are nothing more than micro-cosmism that does not reflect the total of the Texas population as the rural parts of Texas overwhelmingly vote Republican. With redistricting taking place throughout the state of Texas, it’s further expected that the Republican party will expand its grip across Texas.

Looking at the 30th district of Texas which Congresswomen Jasmine Crockett presides over, it’s safe to say that the 30^th district has failed in several key markers under the watch of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Although the Texas 30^th Congressional District can be considered “average at best” according to the Congressional District of health when it comes to broadband connection 72.4%, children experiencing poverty 21.4%, chronic school absenteeism 31.8%, income inequality -6.9/+/-100, racial and ethnic segregation 20.3/100, racial/ethnic diversity 77.6/100, rent burden 53.3%, and unemployment 6%. But Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has failed Texas citizens in the 30^th district when it comes to food insecurity 27%, high school completion rates 81.3%, and youth 16-19 who aren't in school or working 11.7%. These are causes for concerns as failures such as these significantly diminish Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s credibility when it comes to challenging President Trump.

Beyond Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett's inability to fix the issues within her district, the notion that she’s able to fulfill her political threat towards President Trump appears to be null and void. This is especially true given the fact that she has failed to get any bills or legislation passed as Congresswoman. In short, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is considered by many to be nothing more than another empty suit in a long line of empty suits within the political institutions of America.
