Democrats want Beto O’Rourke to run in 2020 for the White House or Senate — they don’t really care for which; they just want him on the battlefield.

O’Rourke may have lost to Cruz in ruby red Texas Tuesday night, but he lost like no Democrat has in 20-plus years. O’Rourke came within 2.6 percentage points of Cruz, radically boosted turnout among young and minority voters, and he raised an ungodly amount of money.
