Eh, he could go back to the House pretty easily when the timing is right.
Good thing Beto is rich because he is toast in politics. He can spend the next 50 years giving vacuous takes on CNN and MSNBC when they cant book any heavy weights.

He couldn't even beat Cruz, what makes you think he can beat John Cornyn. Texans actually like the latter.
Castro is actually in a way better position to make a senate run after his 5 minutes are up in the national stage. He made an actual impact on the debate...unlike Beto.
It's just demographics and it's not like Texas Democrats wouldn't like Beto anymore.
The Hispanic vote will also turn out more for him than it did Beto, imo.
The Dems already have good Senate candidates running in Arizona, Colorado and Maine. Abrams needs to run in Georgia, Castro should run in Texas, and they need good candidates in Iowa and North Carolina.
I think you're right that he got bad advise on this, but he seems genuinely disinterested in running for senate again, almost like it's beneath him now.
Yeah, or you could listen to people speeches and actions for 8 years and notice they are nothing alike
Now you know why Dems are pro illegals.
What good does it do?
Liking them doesn't get anyone citizenship faster.
No, why is that?
Explain.
The Biden attack backlash
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/...n-2020-1391212
I just hope it keeps them apart should either one get the nomination. Biden/Harris---Harris/Biden could be a problem.
Regardless of who gets the nomination, I fully expect them to the bed with a VP pick that rivals Tim Kaine in terms of blandness and lack of appeal.

Who we like tbh?
Backlash... from Biden supporters?
All in all not a great showing for the 2 supposed front runners. Biden and Sanders lost support instead of gaining it.
IMO, Sanders should worry a of a lot more. He didn't make any particular gaffes or even performed all that bad in the debate and he still went nowhere with voters...seemingly.
At least Biden ed up to lose momentum. Bernie flat out stalled the out.
There are several other candidates saying the same things as Bernie without looking like they're going to die any second. His window looks closed.
though if he's gotten multiple candidates on board with medicare for all, mission accomplished for him tbh
Nah, he's got as big an ego as any candidate out there. If his goal was merely to pull the party to the left, he can drop out now.
i mean, i dont think HE would be satisfied, but having that kind of effect on the entire party would be a pretty big achievement if looked at from the 3rd person
I see it as a pretty natural progression. Public option is the next realistic step, but you gotta have an initial ask.

“My dear departed grandmothers(whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents , must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican iden y being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of iden y politics. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”
Seems that she's part black and part Indian (not part white as I recall her being compared to Obama?)
This seeming lack of knowledge about the connection between her Indian and Jamaican heritage provides additional ammunition for some Jamaicans who are of the view that Ms. Harris tends to downplay her Jamaican heritage when it suits her, crediting her Tamil Indian mother with the most significant influence on her life and outlook and rarely talks about her father’s influence. Her father Donald, hardly ever gets credit except when mentioned alongside her mother, but rarely as an individual. Even when asked by her host in the now famous ‘marijuana interview’ about her motivation to enter the presidential race, Ms. Harris referenced ONLY her mother whom she said, raised her and her sister Maya with many beliefs and rules – one being never to sit and complain about something, but to do something about it. Yet, anyone who has read ‘Reflections of a Jamaican Father’ Donald Harris’ heart-warming account of how he raised his two daughters, will immediately realize that there is another side to the Kamala Harris story. In that article Donald Harris writes:
Professor Donald Harris
“As a child growing up in Jamaica, I often heard it said by my parents and family friends ‘member whe you come fram’ (remember from where you came). To this day I continue to retain the deep social awareness and strong sense of iden y which that grassroots Jamaican philosophy fed in me. As a father, I naturally sought to develop the same sensibility in my two daughters.” Continuing Harris says:
“My message to them was that the sky is the limit on what one can achieve with effort and determination and that in the process, it is important not to lose sight of those who get left behind by social neglect or abuse and lack of access to resources or ‘privilege’.
