Cornyn obviously has the advantage going into the general, but do you think Hegar can win?
No, but I think West can win.
What makes him stand out?
He has actual political experience (he’s a state legislator). I think he would be an excellent to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Hegar doesn’t have the political experience. I believe political experience is important when running statewide.
But doesn't Hegar have the 2018 advantage?
I mean, let's face it. Texas Dems were VERY spoiled with Beto. He brought a special magic to a statewide race that I don't think any other Texas Dem would be able to replicate.
