and not only am I voting, I know of several others who are, and I am working on a Trump voter who is definitely not voting for Trump and trying to get her to vote for Biden.

I don't think Hegar is raising the enthusiasm profile anywhere close to Beto. It will have to be an anti-Trump avalanche to win. We need to build our candidate roster downstream so we have candidates ready to take over in future

Until Dems start winning state-wide local and federal elections in TX, then TX will stay red.
