They won't have me, friend. I can stand on a stage and sound like a Pentecostal preacher. I'm not inbred but I dress like I am. With exactly the right amount of alcohol I'm pretty likable (too little and I'm weird, too much and I'm over the top, and the difference is razor thin). And there's pictures of me at a whole bunch of Pride events and taco trucks. I support the gays and the immigrants.
It's an uphill battle that I'm not prepared for, don't really have time for, and have no desire to get into. But we've got 2 years to find someone who hasn't said "Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47". There are a lot of single issue firearm voters in Texas, as stupid as that is. I like Beto but pragmatically there's no way back from that statement here at this time.
There may be enough cop hate here to run on a platform of grinding 1/5th of them into a fine powder. Even the staunchly red area I come from hates the cops, who are at best thought of as meddling piles of shit.
