Why can't Democrats win in Texas? Former Congressman Beto O'Rourke has been running for one office or another for years, first challenging Sen. Ted Cruz, then running for president, now challenging Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. But while O'Rourke comes close, he hasn't found a platform that can build a majority coalition in American's second-most-populous state. This episode considers why.
