TX-GOV 2022: If TX GOP loses here, what next?

I could see him having a decent shot at winning unless someone like one of the Castro brothers or Beto runs against him.

HELL YES, WE'RE GONNA TAKE YOUR AR-15 AND DESTROY THE DEMOCRAT'S CHANCES OF WINNING TEXAS!

I don't think he'd have a shot at beating Abbott unless people get really pissed at his COVID handling, but Beto ran an unapologetically progressive campaign in 2018 and he nearly won. He didn't pretend to be moderate

"Unapologetically progressive" != deliberately marketing stances on wedge issues that are electoral anathema. O'Rourke may not be finished, but to be successful in Texas will require a huge change in approach from his presidential bid and a preparation for it to feature in almost every single attack ad.

Yes, his Presidential bid was undeniably disastrous and obviously he would need to rethink his strategy were he to ever run for any office again

Paxton and Patrick are the only beatable ones
