    My point was Beto had a real shot at unseating Cruz and he fucked it all by repeatedly going on about how he wants to ban guns and never taking the chance to walk it back. You want gun control thats fine, but for the love of god do not campaign on it.

      For sure. But I saw a ton of non Texas democrats interpreting his loss as that there was no way a Democrat could ever win in Texas when it was like… "Dude, he was really close while actively running a bad campaign for the state he was running in. Stop trying to court moderate Republicans and start picking up the black and gay voters out there (who in Texas are gun owners, so maybe don’t campaign on guns)
