I think Colin Allred is the centrist with what it takes to beat him.

Very impressive young man! Would be wonderful Senator but you know Texas?

Incumbents are tough to beat or get out of office.

This is true, but (relatively) far-left Beto held Cruz to within two(no, THREE) points. Allred is far more successful with moderates and independents. I'm not saying I think it's a lock, but I do think Allred has a much better chance than someone who got 48.3%.

I consider Aldred as a rising star to keep your eye.He is one of the Democrats deep bench in the future.

Beto was a great shot in the arm to the Texas Democratic party. Every election, they get a few more voters registered or less active voters back to the polls. It will take a while, but I think it's trending purple.

I agree and as a Texan I will crawl thru glass to vote for Colin preferably or anyone else.
