Can the Democrats raise $80 million for another Texas Senate Race in 2020?

Cornyn braces for brutal Texas reelection battle

The Republican senator is preparing to run a battleground campaign in Texas next year after watching Ted Cruz's close call in 2018.
While it is smart to be prepared, I would be surprised if the Democrats can find another charismatic candidate who can raise that kind of money in a Presidential election year when Democrats main target will be President Trump who is already massing a big war chest. While there was some movement against Republicans like Cruz and a few House members in 2018, the Democrats still have a weak bench when it comes to statewide races. Gov. Abbott won handily over a weak candidate.

It looks to me like the Democrats mainly targeted Cruz a few House seats and still fell short of their goal.
