[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beto is a repeated failed candidate. So tired of hearing about him and watching him suck all the oxygen out of the air in terms of media coverage that could be spent on other better candidates who can actually WIN.

What does he even do? Honestly it seems he has been doing nothing but running for one election or another for the past 10 years and doing nothing but losing.

Look, nothing personal but clearly he's not a good politician and it's time to step aside and give other people a chance. [/quote]

I loved Beto the first two times he lost, but I also am now tired of him.  I think it was a huge mistake for him to run yet again, wasting donation money on a lost cause.  Same for Abrams.  Both them were rising stars, and now seem to be just money wasters and two/three-time losers.[/quote]

I don't mean this in a rude or sarcastic way, but I don't think there was anyone else in TX politics that could have come as close to Abbott as Beto did. I get feeling like he's a perennial candidate, but in a state like TX, which hasn't elected a Democrat statewide since the '90's and Democrat is going to be facing a big hurdle and name recognition is important. Castro has never been able to capitalize, and he's the only other Dem I can see with a chance of success.[/quote]

^^and the implication of not running someone popular, even if they aren't successful, is that you basically aren't running anyone in any substantive way.[/quote]
