Beto went mainstream. He really got a fire under Texas. Shame he fizzled out so badly
Beto's one big fault was he said he was going to take people's assault rifles away. His heart was in a good place, but that's not something you can say in Texas
This is the perfect storm for Colin. Beto walked so he could run. More libs in Texas. God knows how many passed on from COVID due to listening to Trump. More years of people getting fed up from Ted. Roe.
The voters are there. It’s going to come down to how well they were suppressed by the GQP and getting people to the booth.
I still think Texas is maybe 2-3 presidential election cycles away from turning blue. It's a slow burn, but it'll get there eventually as long as Democrats keep putting in an effort. To be honest, Matthew McConaughey could run for governor. Something stupid like that might be all it takes
Houston is in a weird spot right now because the mayor is basically a Republican calling himself a Democrat. He's putting the city backwards and openly arguing with county judge of Harris County (Lina Hidalgo) on some petty shyt. Lina has a future to be a star in Texas. She's a 30-something Democrat county judge that did a great job handling covid here.
