Beto 2.0?

[RPBrown]

Three time loser. He needs to learn that Texas doesn't want him. He is not a winnable candidate, just a crook.

This is what happens when you have voter integrity laws. The crooks are gonna have to steal elections somewhere else.

I have a different opinion. He should run early and often. 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.

Uvalde sends a strong message to Beto:

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.

100% agree. His down-ballot impact has been devastating to Harris County since his loss to Cruz a few years ago. He needs to go away.

I think he's the most successful loser in history. While I'm not sure exactly how, I'm convinced he's monetizing these campaigns. He becomes more of a celebrity at each run. In the eyes of many on the loopy left, he's a brave David taking on republican Goliaths. If nothing else, he feeds his narcissistic ego.

I understand your point. There is no question about the possibility of "coattails" the same way that Zeldon lost the NY governor's race but pulled along several House candidates, probably through increased turnout.

Looking at the other possibilities, however, there are Democratic candidates like Warnock and Fetterman who, despite their baggage win races. A better candidate than Beto might have made Abbot's victory more difficult, given the grass roots dislike for the way that he has handled many important topics. Fetterman was a terrible candidate and still won, perhaps on the coattails of Shapiro who didn't really have a compeitor
The GOP has to face the reality that their ground game is generally sub par and they have won with lackluster candidates and messages more than they should have. That will get worse if there are better choices than Beto or Abrams on the Democratic side. Ad long as Beto and Abrams hold those spots, their defeat is assured.

My take is that Beto is a sociopath slacker who doesn't want to actually work for a living. Running for office allows him to drive around Texas, live in hotels, eat out everyday, for no 'work' beyond making appearances and speeches spouting the usual leftwing drivel. All paid for with somebody else's money. He doesn't want to be elected; he'd have to be at an office forty hours a week with people expecting him to do things, and make decisions.....

Isn't that the definition of a parasite?
