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.
