Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke is changing his tune about the possibility of running for president in 2020.
Prior to his narrow loss in the Texas US Senate race to Republican Ted Cruz, O'Rourke had repeatedly insisted he would not run for president.
Now, he's leaving the door open.
He said Monday he will finish his term in the House in January and focus with his wife and children on "being together as a family" until then.

This door thing is stupid. Who leaves door open? You can always open them when you need to — I mean, Beto had closed and locked this door months ago, so really he isn’t “leaving it open” he is “opening it”.
Of course, the “lock” was his word, and as a democrat that is a lousy lock.
A day late but some ramblings on your questions.
Six years hence Cruz may decide to run for President again.
Cruz didn’t win with the margin other statewide officers had.
The Governor won reelection with over a 1.1 million vote
margin. Cruz had something over a 220,000 vote margin. I
think it has to do with his persona as much as anything and
the money spent in the race by Beto.
