5. I don't know that Democrats can win a Senate seat in Texas.

Republicans took over the Houston election system to protect t Ted Cruz. They'll do the same for Paxton by refusing voter registrations, sending mail ballots to Democratic voters too late to mail them back, limiting the whole country to one drop box, and any other dirty trick they can think of.

As far as the staggering corruption, voters would have to know about it to have it affect their vote. Right-wing media does not cover Trump's corruption or the staggering amount of money he has grifted in less than two years. We live in a low-information country, and Democrats need to hammer the things the media ignores, like high grocery prices, the high cost of health insurance and medical treatment, the waste of our tax dollars on needless wars. They also need to promise something better. Just running against Trump and Republicans is useless without offering effective change.
