The money that he and Stacy Abrams (another loser) are bleeding off the Democratic war machine is a wonderful benefit. Neither of them has any chance of winning so every penny spent on them is money that is not attacking good GOP candidates. I'm happy about the Vance win in Ohio but it was a very expensive win and the excess money spent there couldn't help Arizona and Georgia which are very necessary. In politics it is the long game that counts and I'm happy to let the incompetent candidates on the other side work for ours.
I disagree. There is a major problem with both Beto and Abrams running. They are both guaranteed losers and the Democratic party knows this. They finance them because both of them excite the people and bring out the youth to vote. That helps carry other races for their party. This is especially true with Abrams in Georgia, as seen by how she twice has saved Warnock, but it is also true for Beto I think. He probably helped contribute to Houston and Dallas staying democratic, though they might have done that on their own anyway.

Re: Beto 2.0?

But we can't make the campaign about him or it won't be much of a campaign. The campaign has to be about Texas, not him.

Well, that was what he said when Texas Monthly asked him about being so unpopular (35 favorable view but 50% unfavorable). While they did it as a softball question, at least even the liberal TM knows he isn't liked and isn't going to win. Won't this make it three strikes (senator, president, and now governor) and he is away for life? No more politics for anyone who loses three straight election campaigns. I know, that is just a dream.
