Southern-based Democratic strategist and CBS contributor Antjuan Seawright agrees that a play for Texas could be game-changing.

“I think the larger question for his campaign is, ‘How do they see themselves shaping out in a primary that seems to be shaping up?’” questioned Seawright.

He suggested the O’Rourke campaign go all in on the Lone Star state. “They should put all their weight, time and effort into Texas, which will have a large say in the delegate fight,” he said.

“I don’t know if [O’Rourke’s strategy] will translate outside of the [current] moment or penetrate into the political nerve center,” which Seawright believes is centered within African-American communities in Southern states,

“but I do think that [his time in El Paso] demonstrates that he has a passion for people who need someone.”

Seawright insisted, though, that a forced narrative would more than anything else end up damaging a candidate.

“Leaders don’t create movements,” he said. “Movements create leaders.”
