Yes, if she delivers Georgia, and it's looking like she just may, Stacey Abrams should be a very prominent job with the DNC.

It would probably help for Beto to take on a role with some visibility

It doesn’t seem like his TX House initiative was very successful despite being well financed. I’m not sure there is much of a good case for him.

Beto, Mayor Pete, Stacey Abrams, Jon Ossof (if he doesn't end up in a runoff)

All of them currently out of national office. All of them potential cabinet secretaries.

was very good especially when he was on Fox (I didn't see him though, I couldn't go into enemy camp) He's quick with his answers.

Maybe he can run for Governor or the Senate again. He’s laid so much groundwork in Texas for Democrats to start winning again there. We came up short again this year but we’re so close.

I posted several weeks ago we would lose TX by 700,000 votes. Currently the margin is 660,000. Not close.

Its going to take probably another decade for it to be considered purple. Too many Hispanics surprisingly supported this ass

semiautomatic rifles. We need stronger gun laws. Beto would be amazing at this role.


Oh and ensure the domestic terrorists the Con enabled are properly labelled such & locked up.

My first idea was Harris/Beto. But Beto did well, he ended his candidacy and went back to Texas
and organized and registered. A good man.
