I never really got Beto's appeal.

I like him well enough that I worked a phone bank for couple hours* to support his run for Senate, but I never lifted a finger when he announced a run for President. Not because I don't think he'd do a good job, I'm sure he'd be fine. I just wish he would have focused on taking on John Cornyn's Senate seat here in Texas. He came really close before, I think he would've had a good chance. Now he's saying he won't run again. As for the guns thing, I think the mass shooting in El Paso just really hit him hard in a personal way and clouded his political judgement. Obviously one can't go around demonstrating human emotion during election season!
*Which isn't much, I'll grant you, but it's 100% more than I've ever done for another.
