He’s running.

I have not made my pick yet and likely won’t for at least through the summer.  However, those who want to get into the Beto mystique, why he lost to Cruz, what he has to offer a national ticket, and why Texas is so important, there’s an excellent spot-on analysis this morning by Nate Cohn in the New York Times.

One more thing:  Trump mocked Beto’s hands today, saying that his hand movements made him seem crazy. I am pretty damn certain that Trump was a bit frightened by Beto’s hands.  They are enormous.

The first time I met Beto, I was truly afraid that my hand would get lost in his. He literally made a fist around my hand and I don’t have delicate hands or anything. Honey, his hands are as big as his head.

I’m not saying I know this for a fact, but I’m pretty sure he waves them around to be sure Trump sees them. That’s gotta just eat at Trump and I’m sure he wants Beto to put them away.
