Texas Democrats launch multimillion-dollar 'war room' to defeat GOP Sen. John Cornyn

The effort, first reported by the Texas Tribune, seeks to "expose Cornyn's real record."

"We cannot wait for the primary dust to settle before we launch our attacks on John Cornyn," Texas Democratic Party executive director Manny Garcia wrote in a memo. "Early attacks will define Cornyn and reveal him for what he is — a coward, afraid of shadows on his right and left."

It remains to be seen who Democrats will select as their challenger — and if the party will be able to avoid a bruising primary fight.

Hopefully, there will be a strong Democratic presidential ticket to provide coattails for the Senate nominee.
