"We know what wins elections. We just do, he said. And what wins elections is not sitting there talking incessantly about yourself.

Winning elections is being part of framing issues and understanding where people are coming from, and I don't think [Congresswoman] Crockett is very good at that. I'll be very frank."
"First of all, it seems like she's well-educated. It seems like she's got a lot of energy. But she, to me, she violates the first rule of politics, and that is, in politics, you always make it about the voters and never about yourself, Carville said."
"You can get all the hits. You can get all the clicks. You can get on all of the TV shows. You can get in as long as you're polemic, but you're not helping very much," he said."
A Texas Senate campaign uses the slogan "Texas Tough" and highlights affordability as a priority. Critics argue the campaign emphasizes personal profile, polemical visibility, and media attention more than voter concerns. Observers warn that clicks, TV appearances, and rapid fundraising do not substitute for the coalition-building, issue framing, and voter understanding that win elections. Recommendations include broadening appeal to Democrats who sometimes vote Republican and focusing messaging on voters' practical concerns. The campaign retains potential to compete in a red state if it shifts toward voter-centered issue engagement and expands pragmatic support.
