Sounds so like that first election to the Senate....

why, when I donate, I only donate directly to candidate.

If Cisneros wasn't electable in that part of TX why is there only a 177 vote difference? Instead of supporting a candidate with beliefs that Ds claim to be theirs, the Ds threw millions of $$ behind Cuellar in the last weeks before election -- even after the Alioto draft leak. I'm gonna stick to donating to wildlife and animal organization only.

What has Cuellar said about the Uvalde massacre? The typical NRA line I would imagine.

The question is whether Cisneros could win the general election. After being raised in South Texas, I'm fully aware of the patriarchal attitudes of the voters in that part of the state. Cisneros being an immigration rights attorney is also a detriment in the general election in that part of the state where the migrants have been responsible for criminal activity (mostly property-related), although the public has also been endangered with high speed chases and vehicle bailouts.

Just as some progressives have stated that they will sit out the general election if Cuellar is the nominee, there is the same amount of gossip among non-Justice Democrats stating that if Cisneros is the nominee then they will sit out the election. I take those comments seriously because Cuellar's positions on political issues align more closely with the traditions and heritage of the voters than Cisneros, who has positions that align only with a subset of Democratic voters.

Just my opinion..

I could see Cuellar supporters voting for the R in the general though...

I also can see where Cuellar supporters could vote Republican if they feel that their jobs are in jeopardy with Cisneros as the nominee, although some of them will decide not to vote in the race. The GOP would certainly exploit Cisneros as being "bad for business."

It looks like we are getting closer to final results

particularly when half of the donations go to the Justice Democrats. It looks like the Justice Democrats will gain one seat with Greg Casar in TX-35, but that will be the extent of their gains in Texas for 2022.

It is sad but amusing how many emails that I have received on this race. All of these emails talk about there being some split between Jessica and the Justice Democrats. These emails are really amusing because the Justice Dems really hate regular democrats in general and Nancy Pelosi in particular. The hatred in these emails really pesters me.
