Beto was the kindest, most graceful candidate ever. in These titles mean nothing.

Maybe I’m glad he didn’t get to run against Trump. He’s being saved from the truly evil stuff.
Added a link.... that may or may not work. If you get there, read the thread… it’s very nice.

I wish he had run for the Senate from Texas. Could have done so much good.

It was a hard choice. He tried so hard against Cruz - that's when I started following him on Twitter. He posted a sunset pic because it was pretty. Do you think Cornyn is vulnerable? I suppose it all depends on how well Trump does/how well the eventual Dem candidate does. There will be coattails.

Not sure about Cornyn. He is liked in Tx. I honestly have no idea what to expect from Tx this election. We are getting less red but we've still got a lot of rednecks. I think Beto might be a good President some day but not now. I just know I'm going to do my part to turn Texas blue.

Good for you. I have a lot of kind feelings toward Texas. Just read Rick Perry's wiki. He as a Democrat for quite a while before becoming Republican. His father took him to Sam Rayburn's funeral. LBJ and his family were great. I heard Lloyd Bentsen speak at a World Plowing Contest at Amana IA. His wife the former Vogue model was with him. He talked about the government writing 'hot checks' to pay for things they could not afford. 'Hot checks' is more of a Texas term than an Iowa one.... not that we don't write them too.
Let's wish us all well and see if we can't elect a few more Democrats next fall.

I heard this news yesterday and thought of you. He is a very kind and compassionate man....there is no doubt he cares deeply and wants the best for people. I hope he's the running mate of the eventual candidate for president.

I've always said Harris is my top choice, Beto second, so I have lots more heartbreak ahead. Plus the guilt because I'm not going to work for anybody. I just sit and complain.

I was surprised to hear the news. I hope he decides to run for Senate, but I don't think he will. He's a good man. Maybe too good for politics.

I'm ready to break my heart again. I'm hoping Kamala Harris gets the nomination and picks him for VP.

I admire both his courage and his kindness. We sure could use more of that across the board in public life. He has a lot to offer.

Even so, Trump still found it necessary to say nasty and rude things about him when he withdrew. Trump's insecurities are so obvious. I'm all for Mayor Pete. He's my man. First time in my life I have ever donated to a political campaign. Sorry for your loss. He was a decent man.

I wonder how well Buttigieg will do. I heard positive things lately at local Dem events. I feel about him the way some people felt about Beto. Maybe next time. Beto had at least served three terms in Congress.

I liked him a lot. He just doesn't seem presidential.
(Unfortunately none of the other candidates seem that way either. too old, too young, etc...)
If Pete had 10 more years under his belt I think he'd be unstoppable.

Maybe he should have stuck with Robert instead of letting his father talk him into Beto because it sounded Spanish. All I can think of is Andrew Yang and tRump debating on a stage, live, and Yang and the whole audience can't stop laughing every time tRump speaks his nonsense. Yang has a great laugh.

He's so young. His time could still come for the country.
