He'll probably stick around through the next debate, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle again. I don't see it happening. I sent this to his campaign a couple days ago: Thank you to the campaign for the thorough state-of-the-race memo. I love Beto and his ability to deliver a message and inspire people. He has a unique ability to speak poignantly on complicated moral issues in a way that influences thinking. I supported his Senate campaign for that reason as a lifelong Texan, transplanted to DC for the last 4 years. I hosted a phone bank for him in Alexandria, VA in support of that Senate campaign and had six people I didn't previously know-- some who had no connection to Texas even-- show up at my home to make calls for Beto. My wife and I donated about $500 to his Senate campaign, which while we are fortunate to have two high paying professional jobs, was a lot for our young little family. We were all in and were devastated when he came up short. He would-- and still could--make a great Senator for the great state of Texas. When he announced his presidential race, I was slightly hesitant but hopeful that he could find the same energy in the presidential race that he did in his run for Senate. Unfortunately that did not happen. I honestly cannot pinpoint why, if it was the launch strategy or strange media backlash. Or the strategic attacks from both the right and the left. I just know it happened and here, while it's still a half a year from the first contest, your campaign and Beto's ability to deliver a message has been hobbled. And I am, regrettably, confident it's irreversible. As such, I will not be donating any more to Beto's presidential campaign. I am putting my full support behind Elizabeth Warren and believe her message and lifetime spent fighting against public and private corruption and rigging of the system against everyday Americans is the perfect response to the fraud that is the Trump administration. As for Beto, I want him around. He matters. Your campaign matters. He has a future, both in Texas and on the national stage. However, his opportunity, in my view, is no longer in the presidential race. I hope that as part of this gut check, you strongly consider the possibility of Beto returning to Texas. Not to run for Senate, as I think that pivot would be too difficult after the failed presidential run, but to support candidates in Texas up and down the ballot. To use his list to fundraise, register voters and organize supporters. To get MJ--or whoever our Senate candidate is-- and others elected to statewide office. To turn Texas blue. That mission will also give him an opportunity to continue to lead on immigration and the other issues he cares deeply about, and is pretty much what Stacy Abrams has decided to do in Georgia. That's how he can best serve our country in my view. I'd donate a $1000 to that effort. Best of luck, Horncyclist
