What was wrong with Beto? Am I out of the loop?
He would have been a fine governor, but the reason he fucked up was because he told TX citizens that he’d take their guns away. That’s the easiest way to kill a campaign in TX
He’s being very anti-gun in a state where there is a strong gun culture. He could’ve said something like “We need to stop criminals from getting guns”, instead, he said something along the lines of “We’re coming for all your guns!”
People seem to just be assuming the gun control comments were an insurmountable anchor around his neck, but after Uvalde polling put him just down 4 points (43-47) for trust on gun issues. There’s a lot more wiggle room in the gun debate, even in Texas, than people think.
Yeah, but didn’t Uvalde vote overwhelmingly for Abbott?
Texas just isn’t purple yet
