With few other viable options, Texas Democrats are hoping that next year former Rep. Beto O’Rourke challenges Republican incumbent Greg Abbott for governor.
The El Paso Democrat is considering running for governor, saying that Abbott has failed Texas during the pandemic. He later criticized his handling of the February winter storm that left millions of Texans without power and water. That has fueled speculation that O’Rourke is all but in the governor’s race, even though he’s just as likely to opt against the underdog campaign.
“It’s very hard for us to recruit candidates right now,

I hope Beto doesn't run against Abbot. I hope the Republicans find a proper conservative. Abbot needs to get rid of the masks entirely. What we have now is what we had before. Make the publicly owned businesses stop the masks.

I thought he was supposed to be Biden's gun czar? What happened to that?
He was also supposed to be the Cruz slayer. The democrats pulled out all of the stops and still came up a quarter million votes short.

I doubt Beto will beat Matthew McConaughey for the dimocrat primary, and I seriously doubt Abbot will be the GOP candidate.

Maybe Beto could run against Sheila Jackson Lee and beat her. 😀

El Beto is good at draining money away from other Democrat races, but not much else.

Biteme O’Dork is the perfect candidate. Run a two time loser against a big time winner. A big time gun grabber vs a 2nd Amendment lover. Take my guns from my cold dead hands Beto.

Beto is crazy, and acts like a school child, so he should be able to get the Democrat nomination.

Psycho-boy with his arms and lips flapping won't be able to make it past the question about gun confiscation to be a viable candidate. He'll nose dive in 5,4,3, 2...

Roberto O'Rourquez can pound sand.. He probably thinks that he has a shot at it when California moves to Austin.

PS Democrats ... If you need Beto maybe you should consider illegally crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico. Ask them for your medical card and your travel expenses and see if they let you in.

He might win this round with all the democrat voters streaming across the border (and Cali's and NY'ers and ...).
He lost to Ted Cruz by less than 3%.

Where are the Texas MAGA candidates running for office? We have wealthy conservatives here and we need fresh new faces. I am certainly not talking about Austin’s favorite actor, Matthew McConaughey either.

Idiot O'Rourke, the Fake Mexican, is way too dumb to do much good in another election.

But, but, wasn't it super guaranteed that Beto-the-faux-Mexican was going to be not-my-president Lyin' Joe Biden's "gun confiscation czar"?!?!?!?!?
When even super senile not-my-president Lyin' Joe Biden doesn't have room for you in his cabinet, that should tell you that you have officially been thrown under the bus, fake Mexican boy!!!

Heck, Texas conservatives need some options themselves. Abbott is lost in the woods being led around hither and yon by his agency heads and his advisors. Meanwhile, the GOP controlled state legislature is changing their official state seal to a picture of Alfred E. Neuman and the motto of "What, me worry?"
