Maybe third's time the charm.
And just maybe it might work this time should he run for governor.
With Trump - the most popular politician in Texas history based on votes cast - not on the ballot, and it being a mid-term election, Republicans cannot count on the same voters that kept Texas red to show-up in 2022.
But how does two-time loser Beto fit in this?
For once, Beto has a real bread-and-butter issue to run on.
Things like "more democracy", and other non-sense, will not win an election for Beto.
Things like "While you were in Houston freezing your ass off, I was in El Paso enjoying a merlot with my wife and her personal fitness trainer in the comfort of our warm home" can.
Let me be clear, if it were up to me Texas' grid stays Texas' grid, if not for anything else, purely stubborn reasons, but I recognize some people may not feel that same way.
And that is were Beto comes in.
Now, he can fuck it up by being the Shapleigh idealist that he is and start talking about dumping all natural gas and nuclear, but if he can restrain himself and actually delve into the weeds of this shit, he can outshine the current governor.
That and Beto needs to dress like he wants the job.
And stop the shit of getting on top of bar counters.
Shit, I'll help Beto for gratis...and this time he wins.
If he doesn't it, "Well, Beto already had a well-established track record of losing before reaching out to me."
