Look at the numbers. If they gave a sht about Cornyn vs Paxton, their numbers would be what ours are. Their numbers would be HIGHER since there are more republicans in the state! Our numbers are wiping their numbers out because they are crossing over to vote in our primary. They know perfectly well that if Talarico wins, we could flip that seat. If Jasmine wins, they've won. I'm literally sick looking at that data. We have no chance if she's the one who advances.
