I think the big money Dems will shy away from Beto in the near future:
1. Cruz ran a listless campaign until near the end, and he is not that popular among Texas Republicans now, for obvious reasons. He got about 400,000 fewer votes than Abbott did in the governor’s race. Beto had the national media shilling for him and a ton of money (see below). This was Beto’s best chance to win.
2. Dems threw about 70 million into the Beto fire this time. That will be remembered during the next two years.
He got about 400,000 fewer votes than Abbott did in the governor’s race.

Those people did not vote for Beta.
They left that spot on their ballot blank.
