So Beto made the front page of the NYT today as a “wild card” for 2020.

I’m a Texan. I gave Beto money this year. He’s a hell of a candidate. If you hear him stump, you’re like, “Hell, yeah!”.

He says all the right things. He supports all the right things. He says them the right way in both English and Texican. He was the ultimate anti-Cruz. Yeah, yeah, he got as close as anyone has Democrat in a state-wide election on over twenty years, but…

I love the guy. I just can’t imagine him having any legs in 2020. Just my opinion, I wish it wasn’t so. He was a House Rep from fucking El Paso, a dark corner of the US that no-one gives a flying fuck about. It might as well not be in ‘Murica at all.

Maybe as a VP nominee? And remember, Lincoln was a one term Congressman who years later lost a bid for the Senate, yet he became President. Beto served three terms in Congress.
