This is your best piece I’ve ever read. Thank you.

Two words of defeat: haughty and condescending. That in a nutshell Texans don’t abide by.

Well, they did for 20+ years in Cornyn's case, because there were two more important words: "tribal" and "Republican."

We can win if we can get money for our down ballot races. Democrats are winning in Johnson, Navarro, very red counties. Hill County said no to Data Centers. In the blue counties we have to work our precincts. We have to earn every vote.

A very important insight, Liza. The statewide races tend to suck up the interest and the campaign cash. But people who are educated and motivated on their local races will do the right thing on the statewide choices. Plus, downballot races usually have a bigger impact on our quality of life over time.

It is the down ballots who will knock on the suburbs and rural voters. They need us, they must give us help. I had to buy 50 Gina signs so I could donate them to Navarro County. I will never ever make rural counties pay for candidate signs.
