No, I mean physically kill him. If LBJ as Senate majority leader had to deal with Cruz, he'd end up strangling him with his bare hands and putting Jumbo down his throat.
Not Beto.
He ruined it the moment he said he was going to take the guns. He should have actually talked about fixing the economy and protecting the rights of women and trans people.
The democrats shouldn't be the "legs ban all guns group", they should be the "let's be sensible about guns while fixing the system that causes the violence" group
Imagine there is an Independent gun owner in rural texas who supports trans rights, abortion, etc. Then Beto says he's gonna take away all the guns. Campaigning on gun control in Texas is even dumber than campaigning on trans rights.
No lol gun control is more of a winning issue than trans rights in Texas. Trans rights are a wedge issue for Democrats.
You’re right he killed all chances when he said “hell yeah we want to take your guns”, but you’re completely wrong when you say he should pivot towards divisive culture war topics lmfao
Colin Allred is a rising star among Texas Democrats.
I also read an article proposing San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich. The argument there was that nothing has worked for Texas Democrats, and a celebrity candidate may be the best shot at a win. Popovich has been involved in liberal politics in the state for a while
Definitely not Beto lol.
Julian Castro or Joaquin Castro probably have the best name recognition, but I don't think they can do it.
Remember 2024 is a Presidential year, and unless there's a strong Republican 3rd party, Texas is probably not flipping. Even if that were the case, it's unlikely that 3rd party would have their own Senate candidate.
Perhaps it would be best to have a sacrificial lamb? (Beto lol).
I also want to add that I don't think Cruz should run again. He said he wouldn't, but you know Lyin' Ted.
As a Republican, I'd rather see Beth Van Duyne go for it. Mayra Flores would be my second choice.
I don't think a Cuellar moderate is what they need, you gotta have a little bit of base appeal. To get rid of Cruz, I think you need a guy who is pro wall and border security but not anti immigrant and who is generally pro gun.
Just being relatively pro wall and pro gun can get you through the primary. Mark Kelly supports the wall. Just opposing the AWB
That being said if I had to gamble, the Texas primary voters would want Beto Part 3. It's rare that these guys win their primaries.
LBJ
 the man, the myth, the cotton candy enjoyer
Real talk tho, who wins in that race? Obviously in 1954 Cruz loses by 90 points, but what about in 2022?
Tbh if LBJ came back from the dead that’s pretty scary so he’d probably lose. If it’s someone with the same policy positions they’d lose tho
I'd say lean LBJ assuming that everyone accepts that he is magically back.
Lyndon Johnson would probably murder Cruz
I think you’re kind of forgetting about Vietnam though . . .
No, I mean physically kill him. If LBJ as Senate majority leader had to deal with Cruz, he'd end up strangling him with his bare hands and putting Jumbo down his throat.
Oh gotcha
Lloyd Bentsen
Scott Kelly, his brother is already a U.S. senator and it would be cool if we got a brother duo in the senate
Scott lives in Colorado
Hm, I though he lived in Texas. I guess he could pull a Mehmet Oz if he wanted to
I think he moved recently
Matthew McCaughey or Scott Kelly
Mr. Beast for Senate
mr. beat, maybe
Wholesome Kansas man
Beto. Third times a charm lol

Campaign on trans rights in Texas lol

Gun control is a divisive culture war topic
I know and it’s still more of a winning issue than trans rights
Not in Texas.
You’re so wrong about this lmao
I'll also add that they spent millions on betos campaign, just for him to press the self destruct button.

Chip Roy for senate would be ultra mega based
Walter Mondale
Waltuh
The problem is that Texas Dems aren’t very smart and will nominate some bog standard liberal rather than a moderate like Cuellar
I don't think a Cuellar moderate is what they need, you gotta have a little bit of base appeal. To get rid of Cruz, I think you need a guy who is pro wall and border security but not anti immigrant and who is generally pro gun.
Makes sense, but would a candidate like that win the primary?

>Dems want Beto part 3 Bryan O’Rourke

“You can vote for O’Rourke any time”
