Beto's idea of visiting and campaigning in every county of the state so was noble, but ultimately, he changed very few minds in the those deeply red (and less densely populated) districts. There's obviously no way to know for sure, but if he had instead spent that time in the quickly growing/changing (and more densely populated) suburbs and exurbs, he may have won.
