Some folks want to turn TX-28's result into "Why didn't Cisneros win conservatives along the border?"
But why aren't those same people asking, "Why was Cuellar, an 18-year incumbent, overwhelmingly rejected 90-10 by urban & suburban voters, who make up the party's base?"
Considering what TX-28 is like the fact that Cisneros came as close as she did is actually very impressive!
She was pulling high 80s and Bexar and broke 90 in Guadalupe. That’s an unbelievable feat.
For Dems wondering why Cisneros appears to be on the verge of losing to Cuellar for the third time in two years in
#TX28
, IMO a simple factor more important than "leadership backed Cuellar" is that a large chunk of the district still has voters who are absolutely not progressive.

Definition of soft landing.
No, you don’t have to draw the RGV strips into San Antonio. The TX gerrymander just uses the strips to soak up more super blue San Antonio portions do that TX-21 remains red.
