There is a tradition in Texas of people named Crockett making famous last stands. For Davey Crockett, it was at the Alamo, but the hill that Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, seems inclined to die on is stopping James Talarico, who beat her in the primary, from winning his Senate race.

The famously sassy Crockett told the Dallas Morning News this week that she has "no idea" when asked if she would support Talarico in November, saying she is focused on the down-ballot races.

Crockett also declined an invitation to speak on Talarico’s behalf at the upcoming Texas Democratic Party Convention. In fact, she is just skipping the whole thing.

On one hand, this refusal to play ball could just be the ire of a woman scorned, but even if that is so, there are a few reasons for Democrats to be worried about Crockett taking her endorsement and going home.
