Hegar is a surprisingly good debater.

I really wish Hegar received the unnecessary donations that McGarth got. Could've been put to use much more efficiently in Texas

I agree. As much as I hate mitch, he has no chance of being defeated.

With how close Beto got in a midterm, people really should have been donating to Hegar instead of McGrath.

Hegar has generally been considered a longshot until recently. Not that McGrath isn't, but I don't think this race was on a lot of people's radars once Beto turned down another run.

Hegar should be less of a longshot due to demographics and the fact that Beto got so close in a wave-year.

Right, but people don't hate Cornyn the way they hate McConnell.

People in TX don't know Cornyn the way Kentuckians know McConnell, he is pretty low-profile. And the ones who know him don't really have a favorable opinion of him, like shown in this poll (38/38 favorability, Hegar at 33/24):

(McConnell has actually better favorables than McGrift according to the most recent KY poll)

Not that it really matters, but in the context of receiving donations, McConnell is much more hated than Cornyn, since anyone in the US can donate to a Senate candidate -- how they're viewed by their constituency is irrelevant.
