Lol no. Beta’s been a non-starter for any statewide race in TX ever since he tainted himself by saying the quiet part out loud at the debate during his ill-advised run for president in 2020. He’s a special kind of “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15/AK-47” toxic.
So why does he get another chance? Simple:
1.) The DNC has identified no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, who could run and be competitive in that state. No one. Beta won’t pull it off either, but running a throwaway with some form of name recognition/celebrity is a helluva lot less costly and better than the optics of throwing in the towel and letting the R run unopposed. Plus (as noted below), they won’t have to dig too deeply into the coffers to support him as his star power helps him to be more self-sufficient with regards to the party apparatus.
2.) Since Beta is well-liked among dems, his celebrity could be leveraged for the grift. IOW, the DNC won’t have to throw vast sums of cash at the race like they would if an unknown were running (Beta DOES has decent name recognition). In addition, Beta has demonstrated fundraising prowess. Therefore, he could replicate parts of 2018, raise a bunch of cash from the ActBlue dummies that’ll give it to him, and just funnel it to the DNC so that it can be used for more competitive races where the D has better chances.
As for Beta fucking someone high up in the TX DNC…nah. I can’t picture him being a philanderer because he’s such a spineless little worm i.e. someone who’s too much of a pussy to even make an affair happen. The image literally reminds me of a George Constanza quote:
“I’m not good at these things. I once tried to bribe an usher at the roller derby and almost got arrested…”
