Sadly, with Abbott winning TX governor race, it seems to me Beto's political career is over

[Stinky The Clown]

Can someone who knows more than me show me to be wrong?

[SoCalDavidS]

1. What About Abrams? nt

[qazplm135]

5. She probably should try a congressional seat

She'd do great in the House and she could build her profile there. As much as folks love her, you can't get to the WH without winning something big first.

[Polybius]

9. Trump got there

I think Abrams has a better resume than he did pre-2016.

[qazplm135]

10. Trump is an exception

and our party doesn't work like theirs does.

[a kennedy]

22. Yah, sick over this on. Loved her.

[Groundhawg]

2. probably right

[Renew Deal]

3. Beto could still be VP or get some other cabinet position that would help him.

And hope that demographics change in TX

[qazplm135]

4. For whatever reason

Beto just doesn't speak to Rio Grande Valley voters. Maybe they are just turning Republican, I don't know, but to win Texas, a Dem has to rack up the votes in the RGV and Beto didn't. (to be fair, Biden didn't either).

I think you need a Hispanic male to have a shot to win Texas next time. Sounds crass but I don't see any other way. Probably needs to be a centrist too.

6. That is probly correct

He could possibly run for the senate again, but I think his chances for a statewide office are not good.

[Rob in Htown]

7. I heard calls for Beto to move

Out to another state. Why not just run again for the House from El Paso where he won handily and is loved? I think the hype got to his head and 0 for 3 and millions of dollars later that's where he can do the most good for El Paso and for the country.

[LeftInTX]

23. Veronica now is in that seat

[Initech]

8. We have got to loosen Fox News' grip on Texas and Florida.

The addiction to that network and its' bullshit is strong there.

[jcgoldie]

11. I don't think so

I certainly don't qualify as "someone who knows more than you"... but he's too damn good. He will have a role.

[Poiuyt]

12. His gun comments really hurt him

[SoCalDavidS]

13. Yeah, Don't Criticize Guns In A State That Likes Gun Violence & Dead Children nt

[BlueIdaho]

14. I'm afraid he will end up

A perennial also ran. Too bad.

[Takket]

15. not sure where he'll go but we can't keep putting him up for statewide offices in texas

the electorate there has rejected him twice. that dog just won't hunt. not really sure anyone else could do any better though.

[walkingman]

16. The results in Texas come as no surprise to those of us that live here. Believe it or not,

the ideology reflects the majority in Texas. It is how most Texans think. We have not had a Democrat elected to a Statewide office in 28 years.

Sadly this is the mindset of the people where I live. It is so sad.

Keep Hope Alive!! It's hard.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Agree. Low infos. Plus every hour there was a commercial talking

about how Abbott survived adversity. And every hour another ad about how Beto would turn Texas into California. Beto did not have enough ad $$ for sure.

[pwb]

17. He will work for the Party

on the inside. ?

[ThunderRoad]

18. One more

He's got one more run in him left.

[roamer65]

19. Beto needs to run the Dem Party.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Read that our two superstars lose - Abrams & Beto:(. Think

They just live in bad states
