So Beto, if youâ€™re listening: Come home. Drop out of the race for president and come back to Texas to run for senator. The chances of winning the race youâ€™re in now are vanishingly small. And Texas needs you.

Two years ago, you ran an inspiring race against Sen. Ted Cruz. Sure, you lost. No shame in that. Texas hasnâ€™t elected a Democrat to a statewide office since 1994. You chipped away at a wall that wasnâ€™t quite ready to come down. You showed itâ€™s possible.

For too long, Texas officials have had only to consider how far to the right they must go to stay in office. No one is asking whether there might be a good idea or two on the Democratic side of things. We need you, Beto, because Texas badly needs that other view of the world, those differing opinions. Youâ€™ve brought us closer to having real, competing parties than any other candidate has, and than any candidate on our radar could.

Sorry....the bloom is already off of this rose. His true colors are shining brightly through.
