Bubba and I were sitting at the ballgame last night and during the 7th inning stretch, we got to talking about Beto O’Rourke sassing Trump and then Trump telling him to shuddup.

My thought was that Beto should drop out of the presidential race and come home to knock the crap out of John Cornyn.  You know, make a big announcement – say something like I never should have have left my beloved Texas, so I’m coming home to make mincemeat of John Cornyn.

Look, we currently don’t have a candidate running for the Democratic nomination who can beat Cornyn. Hell, most of them can’t even beat each other in the primary.  MJ Hegar is a great candidate but she doesn’t have the name ID to win statewide in Texas.  Royce West – don’t even get me started – let’s just say I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him and he’s a big guy. Chris Bell came in fifth place in Houston’s mayoral race three years ago and then endorsed the Republican in the run off.  As we say – he’s dead man running.

So there’s mealy mouthed Cornyn who’s held that seat so long he has orthopedic campaign promises.  Take away that guy’s fringe leather jacket and he ain’t got an ounce of Texan in him.

So, Bubba and I pretty much agreed that we’d email Beto’s campaign and tell them to come the hell home and whip up on Cornyn.

It ain’t too late.  And I know that because this morning because the Dallas Morning News did some polling.

Forty-six percent of voters said O’Rourke should drop out of the presidential race and run for Senate, while 25% said he should keep running for president and 29% weren’t sure. About 51% of Democrats said O’Rourke should run for Senate instead of the White House.

And then there’s this from all Texans:

The news is not great for Cornyn, the powerful incumbent who’s held the seat since 2003. Only 37% approved of his job performance, while 31% disapproved. The polls found that 33% of Texans were neutral or had no opinion.

The Morning News suggests that O’Rourke may be polling behind Biden in Texas because Texan Democrats want him to come home and run against Cornyn.

We are an unforgiving bunch, we Texas Democrats.
