Say they raise the money. It’s just kicking the can down the road. The district will have the same problems next year. Is someone going to pony up $ to keep the building open then?

The only way Dems are going to make inroads in Texas is to start local. City, county races. Build the coalition then get state reps and state senate wins, maybe even governor, Lt. governor.
Trying to win the big seats w/o a political apparatus invites failure.

Part of me wants to say, Boo F'ing Hoo. That thankfully is overrided by the thought that nobody should be threatened in such a manner.

Any Democrat\politician not willing to hold the Trump administration criminally accountable should not even try running of ran office.

Maybe so but the "Democratic Party" ruled Texas politics from reconstruction after the Civil War until the 1970's - early 1980's. Do not expect the Republicans letting go of their power w/o a fight.

I am not saying the a Dem will never win the seat. I remain hopeful. But currently the Repubublican party has an iron clad lock on politics on the state level in Texas.

Comparing Senator Cruz to Cornyn does not hold much water.
2020 Senate election. Cornyn beat Hegar by 10 percentage points. 53% to 43%.
Now, If Cornyn is not the candidate then maybe there is a chance. Especially if Paxton is the candidate. But even then it is doubtful.

A democrat has not won a state wide election in Texas since 1993.
I am not saying it will never happen. I am though saying the current state of the Democratic party in Texas is close to DOA.

Lifelong Texan here. She as any Democrat in Texas has as much a chance of unseating Cornyn as
