So you think people will forget and mudslinging ads will not mention it? Beto is done as a statewide contender, at least for 10-20 years when the demographics flip to blue. (which is suspect with Trump rhetoric gobbling up Latino votes).

For some reason I think it needs to be an older woman, they can bring the no bullshit shame more credibly. And, bring over some suburban women. I think people can relate to their Moms or Grammas.

anecdotally I've heard numerous reports of people losing enormous gun collections in tragic boating accidents since the election
Unless there's a 2014 Wendy Davis type breakout in this legislative session the Texas Democrats should run someone like Matthew McConaughey. Beto is a no go for too many people.
