I got mocked a couple times on Reddit for saying a close Beto loss would put him squarely in the 2020 pool. As it stands now, I think he's the daggum favorite. No one in the Democratic pool has bipartisan appeal like him - unless Bloomberg decides to run as a Dem, and even then I'm not sure he does.
Just read that he's surged with the oddsmakers to be tied for the favorite with Kamala Harris.
IMO the only one who could cause an issue in terms of commanding party machinery and endorsements would be Biden because of the breadth of his service.
After watching Texas I think Beto is exactly what this country needs to start healing.
Yeah, America loves losers. They especially love losers who fake their ancestry.
