"She's [Crockett] got about as much chance of being the next senator from Texas as I do to have being the next senator from California, remarked Thiessen after being prompted by Perino. Her candidacy would be exactly everything that's wrong with the modern Democratic Party today. It's what I would call the first iteration of the Mamdani fallacy, which is that the lesson of the last off-year elections was We gotta go out and find some more energetic leftists to energize our base and run just like Mamdani did.'"
"And the problem with that is is Mamdani won in deep blue New York against a disgraced former governor. That doesn't work in swing states, and it certainly doesn't work in deep red Texas. There is no way that the state of Texas is going to send Jasmine Crockett to the United States Senate as their as their elected representative."
"Well, it's just he's not guiding the Democratic Party in the direction it needs to go to. I mean the Democratic Party's popularity is at a 35-year low right now. Sixty-three percent disapproval. Part-, the last time the Democrats had above 50% approval was in the 1990s under Bill Clinton. Maybe that should tell you something. You've been consistently moving further and further to the left, and you're becoming consistently less and less popular."
Marc Thiessen predicted that Jasmine Crockett has virtually no chance of winning a U.S. Senate seat in Texas, comparing his odds of being California's senator to her winning in Texas. He described her potential candidacy as emblematic of what is wrong with the modern Democratic Party and labeled it the 'Mamdani fallacy.' He argued that copying energetic leftist victories from deep-blue areas will not succeed in swing or deep-red states. He cited Mamdani's win in New York as a mismatched model for Texas and criticized Democratic leadership and low party popularity.
