Beto swore during 2018 as well. It's a good thing. When Democrats show emotion, that they care, & most importantly that they're willing to fight, they tend to outperform the average Generic D in a given cycle. "I am who I am & I am willing to fight for you" is the most potent combination of forces that can occur. A  cardboard cutout of a cardboard cutout - regardless of 20th century resume - often underperforms, whereas in the other extreme, somebody like Ojeda-18 did 35 points better than the past presidential contest.

Show voters that 1) you believe what you say you believe and 2) that you're willing to fight for them, and you'll almost always do better than a Generic D in any given cycle. Beto's not going to win, but if every D in such a comparable situation gave up the DC-focused shenanigans, there'd be a lot more victories - especially in rural areas.

What? Are they forcing Abbott to wheel himself from town to town? Otherwise, what's his excuse?

Guessing he thinks that by ignoring the campaign, he can keep from legitimizing any opposition momentum. I don't know if that's going to work as well against a candidate like Beto as it would against the others he has faced...
