The two runner ups in that election (both around 3%) were: Joy Diaz, a journalist no one has heard of and has never held a public office and Michael Cooper, an actual used car salesman who has never held an office either. Beto was the only name anyone recognized.
Fair enough, makes Texas Dem establishment look pathetic though for seemingly consolidating all their efforts around someone as unelectable as Beto. Especially considering the state could be very winnable with a decent candidate.
