I don't know TX voters well, but seems to me that Cornyn is a tougher candidate for Talarico in some ways as he is almost normal while the contrast with Paxton is clearer and stark. May be a situation that no matter what some Repugs will vote for anyone of theirs, no matter how repugnant, over a Dem. Best case is maybe enough Repugs stay home out of disgust and we get out enough votes to win.
