I finally got to read the massive @sissenberg piece on Beto's turnout > persuasion strategy and I'm struck by how little turnout changed vs. other states. Maybe Latino turnout was somewhat higher, but Stacey Abrams shaped her electorate better than Beto.https://twitter.com/i/moments/1102632595123253248 …

The piece makes a big fuss about them turning out 1M Dems who don't normally show up in midterms. This happened, but it wasn't enough because turnout was absolutely insane across the country and Republicans matched them. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/02/22/beto-orourke-campaign-strategy-2020-225193 …

Running a black candidate who can authentically connect with the community is the ultimate cheat code for better Democratic turnout. The same may be true for Latinos, and it seems weird to entirely credit Beto for any Dem Latino turnout when Lupe Valdez was on the ballot.
