October 22, 2018 at 9:21 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Texas Tribune: When President Donald Trump first announced he would travel to Texas to campaign for U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, at least one Texas Republican operative prayed for the rally to take place at Kyle Field in College Station and the sentiment had nothing to do with Aggie pride.
At issue was a fear that if the Trump rally took place in one of Texas big cities particularly Dallas or Houston the presidents presence could further incite the Democratic base in races where Republican incumbents are in the fights of their political lives.
The prayer wasnt answered. Instead, Trump is headed to the heart of Houston on Monday. And some but not all Texas Republican operatives are anxious that he could hurt local incumbents, particularly U.S. Rep. John Culberson and state Rep. Sarah Davis.

If dems dont know whats at stake then not sure another event will change that.
We better get out and vote our asses off.
