It's good to know where the various candidates stand to make an informed decision. I don't know if they'll be hosting all three at some point or if he's just he most moderate of the three, and, therefore, the least objectionable.

Texas also has open primaries so it may be in our interest to help determine the candidate in that race, since that candidate will be unopposed in November.

Although people discourage Dems from crossing over to GOP primary, it can have a decent impact on local elections. LeftInTX Feb 2024 #6
