Possibly a lot of independents. Or several Hispanics from the Rio Grande Valley.

Actually many people here in Texas who gave Beto the benefit of the doubt cause his senate campaign was simply amazing in 2018 and now after his comments on many issues they don’t wanna give him another chance.

Beto went on Oprah to begin his campaign for Prez and made the Taking away your gun comments, but Pete Buttigieg became the alternative to Biden not Beto and Beto had to drop out but he endorsed Biden on Super Tuesday and could of done the right thing and endorse Bernie, Bernie lost TX narrowly thanks to Beto


If Beto enforced Bernie and Bernie became Prez he would have Bernie Sanders campaign for him


Look at Biden Approvals now they are 44 percent and 30/65 I'm TX with those Approvals he Beto won't win TX, Biden is near 50 in Blue states, that's why Sisolak and Kelly are near 50

I said that was the wrong move by Beto to endorse Biden on Super Tuesday is Biden or Obama campaign for him for Gov no but Bernie supporters would have, especially Mike Moore if Bernie became Prez, they remember Beto endorsing Biden

The only people likely to be turned off by those comments likely voted for Cruz in 2018.

A working-class Hispanic voter in the Rio Grande Valley, who has socially conservative viewpoints and was greatly turned off by both coronavirus restrictions and by O'Rourke's abortive presidential campaign. In particular, they would be upset with his comments about guns and churches. Such a person would have been one of those O'Rourke-Abbott ticketsplitters in 2018, having a negative view of Ted Cruz and believing at the time that O'Rourke would be a good Senator. They would have gone for Trump and Cornyn in 2020, for the reasons noted above.

Someone who believes Beto went off the deep end and is dissatisfied with the Democrats in general.
