We're certainly looking at the Democratic primary. But I really feel if you look at the number of Democrats that have come out, we have outpaced the Republicans. No ifs, no buts.

A lot of the things that they've done down here just doesn't hit well in South Texas. And again, I'll emphasize South Texas, there was not a paradigm shift here. (06:10–06:21)
