" Betos popularity with swing voters makes him not just the ideal presidential candidate for Texas, but for the critical battlegrounds of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Florida. With Beto's energy at the top of the ticket in Texas in 2018, we flipped two congressional seats, two state Senate seats, 12 state House seats, and dozens of local and judicial seats across Texas. Imagine what he would do at the top of the Democratic ticket across the country.
The very fact that Beto remains popular across party lines, while never shrinking from divisive issues is exactly what makes him the ideal leader for our country in this moment. Beto does the hard work of bringing people together.
So let us be clear: Texans want Beto ORourke in the White House. With him at the top of the ticket, we can finally turn Texas blue and, in doing so, guarantee that Donald Trump never darkens our doorstep again."

I like him, but he would do better to concentrate on turning Texas blue in the Senate. nt
