“But I have a sinking feeling that Cornhole will pull it out. Somehow.”
Nobody in the Texas GOP Senate primary is pulling anything out tomorrow.
Get ready for a runoff campaign which lasts nearly 3 months, while the Democrat nominee (whichever stooge it turns out to be) gets a 3-month head start on the general election campaign. It won’t matter that the Democrat won’t even know who the Republican nominee will be, Democrat hatred of Republicans is universal (and often effective). Hopefully not so effective in Texas, though.
Crenshaw has been running ads calling Toth a liberal, when everyone in the district knows that Toth was one of the most conservative members of the state House of Representatives.
The Montgomery County voters in the district will reject the Crenshaw ads because Toth currently represents them in the state legislature, but the Harris County voters in the district might believe the ads because they don't know Toth.
