I'm 62 years old. I have been longing for the old style F**K YOU Democrat in the manner of Harry Truman, LBJ, Ted Kennedy, and Dan Rostinkowski. Jasmine Crockett is a throw back to those days and that attitude and energy. She is exactly what we need. We also need others to join her. Tim Walz has been making inroads in that way, AOC is good, and Secretary Pete in a calmer manner. The world is different now. Democrats have to abandon the old ways and go after these clowns and bullies with relentless intelligence and call them out for their hypocrisy and evil legislation.

66 years old and total fan of Crockett. Let's destroy the old ways that led us to the brink of autocracy. GO CROCKETT, GO AOC!

It's a proven fact that people who swear are more intelligent than people who don't.

We had the 70s and the 80s. And then the worst of us choked out those from the later generations.

I grew up IN Chicago, was in Grant Park for the Democratic Convention and cast my first vote in 1968. I then grew my hair down to my ass. My values haven't changed one iota but my hairline sure has. I'm going on 75.

Hey Adam,

You still have influence in the party. This shouldn’t be a debate. We have all seen what Rep Jasmine Crockett brings to the table. She’s smart as a whip …as a former attorney. Plus the party has to get younger and she fits the position to fight Trump and MAGA. She lives rent free in Trumps head.

If we want to change as a party, let’s do the right thing and elect her to the seat. 💙🇺🇸✊🏽

Jasmine Crockett is one of the few Democrats who seems to understand the moment we're in and is willing to meet it. Head on. With a few carefully thrown F-bombs.

Not every Democrat has to be Jasmine Crockett, but it's OK for Jasmine Crockett to be Jasmine Crockett. And she's no lightweight - like the current chair of the Oversight Committee Gomer Pyle. I mean James Comer. We NEED somebody who's ready to go toe to toe with the republicans, especially on this committee. Frankly, it's time for younger leaders of the Democratic Party to get their shot. They understand the assignment and demonstrate a fearlessness that's sorely lacking in the older leadership.

If I had a vote in the Democratic Caucus, Jasmine Crockett would have it. I hope the Dems shock the hell out of me and do something bold for a change. Literally, for a change.

I am almost 74 years old and I am behind this woman 100%. She is what our party needs. If she thinks it, she says it. She has the brains to go with it. Hell, I would vote for her for president without thinking twice about it.

I agree. I don't know the other two, but Stephen Lynch was my representative before redistricting. Jasmine Crockett is head and shoulders above him. She knows what she's doing, and she doesn't play to the gallery.

If Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is the face of the party, as so many articles and youtubes point out, Jasmine is the VOICE of the party and she should be the head of Oversight. She knows her shit, knows their shit, and she knows they're shit.

She’s one of the shining stars in congress. I’m in Oregon and have donated to her campaign more than once. I hope she can break through the good old boy barriers and kick more ass on that committee.

Jasmine is a STAR!! I LOVE her presentations, her fire, her down to earth language, and I almost want her to use the profanity of your newsletter! You can't go to a gunfight with a knife. Here is major support from a geezer!!!

Jasmine Crockett is the best communicator re the law, and the circumstances of what is going wrong in this country politically and legally. There are others like Sheldon Whitehouse who are informative and intellectual in reporting, but Jasmine gets out the info quickly and wisely also.

If they don't pick Crockett, they are just plain stupid. She's the fire in the Democratic party and they should realize it. She will give them strength - strength that they don't have. Just listening to her makes me think that she should be cloned and kick most of the Democrats out and let the Crockett's take over. She's who I want for my voice. I wish I could vote for her.
