His district is comprised of rural areas and wealthier parts of Austin/SA in a republican state, so that seems highly unlikely unless he somehow alienates his base and faces a strong republican challenger.
- akulbe 14y agoPlease don't make the assumption that just because Texas is Republican state, that other Republican / conservatives are in support of this bill! I'm a conservative, and there is no way that I want to see this bill or any lesser / related version of this bill be passed EVER.
- msluyter 14y agoI'm not making that assumption, but perhaps I am assuming/implying that this issue isn't enough on the radar of most republicans to have much of an impact in a primary race. And as noted by waterlesscloud, a democrat can't win this district.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoIt's an interesting test. Reddit / "the internet" would have to find a candidate who could win in that district that they could support. It would involve some serious value judgments and compromises (a liberal dem is not going to get elected there), and my bet would be that they simply are not capable of it in the end.
