Washington Democrats have cooled on the idea of a Beto O'Rourke Senate bid. But they've set their sights on a different failed presidential contender — Montana Governor Steve Bullock.

“Him running would turn it from a race where we would have a massive mountain to climb to a race where we would start at least 50-50 and maybe better. It would be transformative,” Kaine said.

“It’s not clear to me that Beto is the strongest candidate anymore,” said one Senate Democrat familiar with the Senate races. “If we’re going to have a failed presidential candidate run for the Senate in Texas, what’s wrong with Julian [Castro?]” Sen. Jon Tester , who is close to Bullock, called it a “mistake” to pressure the governor now. But Tester acknowledged how important Bullock is to the party.

Yet shortly after ending his presidential campaign and some personal reflection, Hickenlooper reversed himself and quickly earned an endorsement from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Ummm.... Beto emphatically *took himself* *out* of such talk. The only sane thing to do is move on. These folks have. Whether they moved on to the right person(s) in the right manner for the right reasons, well, that’s the rub.

Beto is busy working on gun violence reform & said no to running. So as a Texan please don’t speak for me & mine b/c we are most certainly not over Beto. Bless your heart.

I love that Beto didn’t go with the democrats and media like yourself hypocrisy. BetoForEver

How bipolar (literally). Last month socialist free everything, healthcare for illegals (not that it is not free in emergency room anyhow) and now the swing back to conservatism

Because it was never about the Senate seat, it was about getting him out of the Presidential race

Beto said million times He is not running for Senate. This just last night.

Vanity candidates can fork off

If there was a better plan and method of getting the message and goals across...

Biden says he will not appear at Senate impeachment trial despite demands from TrumpA top White House official said Wednesday that Pres. Trump is demanding a full trial, featuring live witnesses in the Senate chamber if and when the House sends over articles of impeachment to the Senate later this month. He just realized how serious the whole thing is? So is he going to testify in his own defense or allow first hand witnesses like Pompeii, mulvaney and Giuliani? If not he’s still just a bag of farts! Democrats realizing they opened a can of worms they don't control. LMAO. Can't wait to see the witness list.
