I think there's a lot of merit in what he says, but I don't think independent, swing voters will agree with him in a general election, if he's the nominee.

We need Beto to run for TX Senate. A senate majority is just as important as a presidential victory in 2020.

Not a good stance statewide for a 2020 Senate run against Cornyn.
