I'll be so glad when Gallego gives this guy a spanking and returns good representation to TX-23.

This district will assuredly be a Romney/Clinton district, I think this house district is Likely D, don't see how Hurd can win it when Republican lost it in 2012 when Romney actually won the district.

Gallego should win this, but if he doesn't, I can't see Democrats gaining more than 5-10 seats.

Remember when he was considered likely to win re-election?

Gonna go ahead and guess Hurd loses by double digits. Hurd won by a very narrow margin in a wave year and is a bad fit for the district.

By who? Sure, prognasticators had it at Lean R before Gallego confirmed he was running, but no one thought Hurd would be super hard to take down.

He's just a really...awkward person. I've seen his campaign ads and some videos of him in public and I think he's flirting with Asperger's. He was a computer scientist at the CIA before he got into politics so it wouldn't be shocking. And he's a black guy in a district with virtually no black people.

Do you live in his district? If so are you getting any sense of who has a better ground game and do you know who you are voting for?

I don't know. I vaguely remember someone saying that.
