13. One of the scary poll results I have ever seen on this site

Does everyone hate Beto and want to end his career? Otherwise why would, "Run Against Cornyn" have a single vote?

It would be a flop defeat by probably double the 2018 margin. In that state he is simply remembered as someone who lost. Right now in February 2019 there will be fewer voters who admit to voting for Beto against Cruz than actually voted for him.

Cornryn would have a sizable poll lead and this time Beto would never dent it. Besides, there is no chance Beto could have the same energy as 2018 in a statewide race. He'd be going back to the same counties, and same venues, and recognizing some of the same people. They would literally be shaking his hand and reminding Beto of meeting him at some county fair, or whatever, in 2018.

Beto would be thinking...didn't I just do this?

It would be political suicide. All of his strengths would be minimized and all of his weaknesses magnified.

Beto either needs to sit out or run for the presidency. In that environment the reverse is true...fresh start, fresh challenges, fresh faces, and strengths to the forefront.

Situational influence should be required class in school.
