    He is probably going to lose the Texas vote. I think he needs to run for president. He got within a few a percentage points in a pretty red state. He is very charasmatic and works his ass off and can raise money.

    I don't see anyone in the Democratic party working harder than him.

    Let's start the bandwagon early.

    Spending a 12 million dollars isn’t working hard it’s just throwing money into the wind.

    He seems to be a possible candidate but dems need someone stronger in my opinion. I’m
    Not a huge fan of beto myself but I’m not insanely opposed of him. I do like some of his stances.

    Why? I honestly don't know if he should run or not. But why would Beto running be a good way to get Trump elected?

    Working hard is nice .

    But let's at least see the final tally in Texas before proclaiming him the savior .

    Now , if he turns Texas blue in the presidential election ... that's California and Texas as blue states and that's like 1/3 of what you need to win lol .

    But , we have no idea what the landscape will be in a few months vs in a year or so .

    A lot of people still like trump , and the economy is still good . Who knows what things will look like if the mueller report comes out/ hearings take place .

    Politics is too complicated lol .

    Honestly, he did more than just spend money. He went to every single county in the state. He actually did work super hard.

    At a minimum I think he's a TOP Vice Presidential target as someone who could help pick up fundraising.

    If he can't attack sniveling Ted Cruz, no way he can go up against Trump, IMO.

    I'll still vote for him though..

    I already said it Beto has got a better chance to be the Dems nominee than becoming the U.S. Senator from Texas.

    Yep, take a 3 month break and launch your 2020 Presidential campaign. Why not?

    Yeah he probably needs to take Trump head on and he’s probably too nice to stoop to Trumps level.

    He almost has to run. If he doesn't run he doesn't really have a way to stay relevant past 2020.

    He was on the road more than any politician I have seen. He was out there working everyday. There is a reason why he raised more money than any senator without taking pac money. He ran a pretty positive campaign.

    I don't think accomplishments are what got Trump elected.

    What Beto has in his favor is that he's a hard worker, independent, charismatic, and young enough to bring new voters to the table.

    His lack of experience is a negative for him in my opinion, but it may be a plus for him with the anti-establishment crowd.

    Take 3 months off to work on his ya momma jokes. His verbal jabs need to be aimed at the kidneys.
