I think the Party would be better served, spending it's money elsewhere, than on races in places like TX or FL.
The QOP is not going to let the Democrats win in those states, and will do whatever it takes. Although it probably won't take much, because those states are Red States, NOT Purple, despite any appearances of us being close.
They're not really close, and you're not going to get a majority to vote for someone with a (D) next to their name. Beto would probably stand a fairly good chance of winning elsewhere, but not in TX.
