19. Sadly, probably

There's probably going to be a republican primary for Thornberry's seat, at least. That's going to increase voter turnout, which will bring in the money. That pisses me off because, with the right campaign (county-to-county over and over again, like Beto) a good Democrat could beat them. But will the DNC/DCCC lift a finger to help that candidate? No.

So there we are.
