... and put 10’s of millions in his own back pocket

Unused campaign contributions can't be used for personal purposes. One of many available discussions on this:

No. Not a liar. About this anyway. Does anyone remember the left’s last great white hope in Texas? Yeah, you don’t hear much about Wendy Davis anymore do you?

The field is too crowded for 2020, it would be bad mojo to cross Hillary or some other feminist bully this time around.

Also Trump’s candidacy is too strong at this point.

If he wants any political viability down the road, he won’t waste his white house run this time around.

And with 2018’s election winding down we are only weeks away from 2020 candidacy announcements.

Don't ya just love 36 hour commitments?

By this time Wednesday morning, The People will have spoken and Beto, however reluctantly, will be compelled to yield to their call.

“I will not be running for President in 2010. I will be living a life of luxury on the millions contributed to me by the suckers in Hollywood who actually thought I had a chance of defeating Ted Cruz”.

Wifey poo's father is a multi-billionaire. I don't think they need to play games with unused campaign contributions.

He can used his branding to ‘rub off’ on whatever candidate(s) he decides to represent.

Again, you are missing the point. You think that cash isn’t going places it shouldn’t? His wife is rich, he is not.... Don’t think for one minute old Beto won’t be dipping into that til.

Mrs jagusafr and I did the “Art Stroll” at an artsy neighborhood here in San Antonio on Saturday. Virtually every yard had a Beto sign in it. There will be a bunch of weepy leftist guilty white artsy types tomorrow evening, methinks...
