Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) fended off Democrat challenger Robert Francis ORourke to win re-election in a high-profile Senate race Tuesday, but establishment media pundits, Hollywood celebrities, and liberal activists did not lose hope they had now moved on to dreams of Beto 2020.
Cruz finished a surprising second in the 2016 Republican presidential primary and began the Senate race as a prohibitive favorite. However, ORourke visited fiercely conservative parts of the state that his party had long since given up on, while shattering fundraising records despite shunning donations from outside political groups and pollster advice. Cruz argued that his opponents support for gun control and universal health care were too liberal for the Lone Star State.
ORourke shot down similar suggestions Monday on the campaign trail and pledged not to run for president.
Below is a round-up of Beto 2020 buzz via Twitter, which including actress Alyssa Milano, NBCs John Harwood, and CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza:

Good.They can piss away more millions.Love it.
Suburban moms will vote for him in a heart beat. The Suburban moms have given the House to the Rats.
He could run with Hillary, you know the Two Losers Ticket!
What’s the appeal of this guy, besides his looking like one of the goofier Kennedys?
“And now it’s on to Chicago and let’s win there...”
Trump would demolish this guy.
Beta burned through $70 million dollars... and still lost.
He dropped an F-Bomb in his classless concession speech.
He’s toast.
Hope they keep running this drunk moron.
You know, upon looking at that picture a little closer, you are right...the nose always gives it away!
Beto and Givmeum......who will sit in the back of the bus I wonder???
You’re not much of a national “rising star” when you just lost your Senate race. Let him “run” all he wants for 2020, he will just waste money and oxygen for the Democraps.
Bull shit. Liberals and Marxists BS. Beetlejuice is not a contender since he lost the Big One. In a primary, he might place ahead of Creepy Porn Lawyer Avenatti but just under Maxine Waters.
Being “under” Maxine Waters is no place any real man would ever want to be, at least not in the past 60 years.
Beto OToast
Amen to that. I hope the dems have 50 candidates all sucking up as much money as they can.
He is a worthless piece of trash. Only idiots would vote for him.
The celebrities love Beto like they loved Hillary and we know how influential the celebrities are to the People. [/sarc]
He will soon announce he is carpetbagging to Hawaii in order to run for the U.S. Senate, file for office as “Yoshi O’Rourke”, and claim the “Yoshi” part is a “childhood nickname”.
The Herman Cain fan club on FR had trouble understanding this concept as well.
Please, let Robert Francis O’Rourke run for President.
I beg them, please nominate this guy. He wont know what hit him when Trump is done with him.
Like Jason Kander, Beta will soon by nuffin but a memory.
But good Lord the SOB came close.
Yeah, although Cain had far more accomplishments to his name before and after his political campaign.
