So Beto, if you’re listening: Come home. Drop out of the race for president and come back to Texas to run for senator. The chances of winning the race you’re in now are vanishingly small. And Texas needs you.
Two years ago, you ran an inspiring race against Sen. Ted Cruz. Sure, you lost.No shame in that. Texas hasn’t elected a Democrat to a statewide office since 1994. You chipped away at a wall that wasn’t quite ready to come down. You showed it’spossible.
For too long, Texas officials have had only to consider how far to the right they must go to stay in office. No one is asking whether there might be a good idea or two on the Democratic side of things. We need you, Beto, because Texas badly needs that other view of the world, those differing opinions.You’ve brought us closer to having real,competing parties than any other candidate has, and than any candidate on our radar could.
Would you beat John Cornyn, who is seeking his fourth term? It wouldn’t be easy. You’d have to fight for it, and do better than you did against Cruz. But a lot has changed since 2018 — you had a lot to do with that — and Trump is no longer rock-solid in Texas.Neither are the Republicans who support him.
Imagine the effect you could have on our state. Ideas get sharper when they’re challenged, when points of view clash. We think Texas will get smarter, and its politics more sophisticated,if campaigns here were a true test of ideas, not one-sided races set to autopilot.
So please, Beto, after you’ve taken some time to mourn the dead in El Paso, consider whether now is a good time to leave one race and join another.Texas needs you back home.

wtf
Nobody needs Whitey O’Rourke.
<<Would you beat John Cornyn
No. Nor will he beat the guy who will likely beat Cornyn in the primary.
I think the combination of August Heat and Humidity has affected certain editorial staffs.
Does the primary guy have a good chance of beating rino cornyn?
If Texas needs him so badly, let him go home and run for a state office, maybe the state senate. And he should stay there. We don’t need him or his alleged ideas inflicted on the rest of the country.
I think Texas can do a lot better than this nitwit. We’ve got a lot of Texans in this state.
I wonder how much longer Texas will stay red. Seems like the Rats are taking over all the big cities.
This is Houston aka West New Orleans. The Home of the Katrina “refugees”.
Appealing to his ginormous ego or just plain insanity?
Get that ginormous A-hole off the public stage and out of politics!
It sounds like the editorial staff really likes the fake Mexican if you know what I mean. How embarrassing.
No, stay on the road Bobby Frank.
Beto was always vapors and myth. He’s been outed as nothing and there’s no coming back.
If there even is a primary challenger, I haven’t heard of him and I’m in Texas. It’s a little late to try ramping something up now. We’re stuck with Corny and the President needs the seat.
I’m a Katrina “refugee” from Biloxi, where the storm actually hit.
Hmmm. And here I thought that Texas already had enough pervo baby-killers.
