(6,699 posts)Realizing it wasn't going to be possible, he could modify his comment. It's not like repuKKKes don't change their stance in a heartbeat with little to no repercussion. Just saying...confiscation assault weapons is a pipe dream...NEVER going to happen anyway.
Jose Garcia
(2,611 posts)would really hurt his chances at being elected statewide in Texas. Gun confiscation isn't a winning issue in the Lone Star State.

(54,476 posts)I think he's keeping his power dry for a better chance down the road.

(54,476 posts)No one likes him. Cornyn has played it smarter in the Senate and has made far fewer enemies back home. Beto would not fare as well as he did against Cruz.

DFW
(54,476 posts)No one really expected him to win the nomination for president--OR to challenge Cornyn. So, where indeed?

(14,583 posts)The only X factor in his favor would be that this next go round might have a more unified and larger D turnout.
But, I don't think he gets there in the end either way, either.
