The article is disingenuous bullshit.

It is part of the concerted effort to push him out of the race and out of the national limelight.

Now they can point to it and say: "Look, even TEXANS don't want him in the race!!!"

Yeah, Beto, you must drop out Right Fucking Now!!!!

Make the announcement TODAY!!!!!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
