dude is like a cross between bobby kennedy and barack obama.

he will prolly lose his senate race cuz tx is a brainless conservative shithole. but he should throw his name in the hat for 2020 shortly after that.

people love an inspirational candidate and dude is 10x more compelling than bernie/warren/biden/kamala/etc. he still has that new car smell too.

i dont think theres ever been a non-presidential candidate able to generate excitement (and money) for a single race like this. in this lightning in a bottle era of politics...dude could easily become the dem frontrunner.

Oct 15th 2018
64
      I agree, they are both too old to run
Oct 15th 2018

      these early polls are really just name recognition and favorability poll...
Oct 15th 2018
67
Too early
Oct 14th 2018
62
first things first ......but
Oct 14th 2018
63
Is this one of those things where after Beto looses we all go, what
Oct 15th 2018
65
No. But it’s one where Righties will brag about him losing
Oct 17th 2018
70
does anyone make up their minds after watching debates?
Oct 17th 2018
68
Rumor, win or lose - he would be top presidential candidate
Oct 17th 2018
69
Bad news: He ain't gonna win - so what now?
Oct 17th 2018
71
Can he win Wisconsin, Ohio, PA and Michigan?
Oct 17th 2018
72
i wonder what his plan is
Oct 17th 2018
73
      abraham lincoln lost a senate race in 1858 and won prez in 1860.
Dec 04th 2018
76
           Yeah, so he'd need to just be equal to Abraham Lincoln
Dec 04th 2018
88
                that is not what he said...did Beto f*ck your girl?
Dec 04th 2018
96
                Shit.. lol
Dec 04th 2018
98
                oh is dude just a beto hater? i musta missed it.
Dec 04th 2018
100
                     lol I think its him
Dec 04th 2018
103
                          lol damn i wish i knew. woulda saved me some keystrokes.
Dec 04th 2018
106
                          oh, y’all ain’t know???
Dec 04th 2018
111
                          haha I was pretty sure
Dec 04th 2018
125
                          Yup, running someone who JUST lost is not a good look in general
Dec 04th 2018
128
                lincoln was actually a pretty unspectacular candidate.
Dec 04th 2018
99
progressives are now attacking beto since he might run against bernie
Dec 04th 2018
74
Bernie Bros gonna be big mad if they elbow out Beto and Kamala
Dec 04th 2018
75
yeah i dont think bernie wins the dem primary.
Dec 04th 2018
78
      Bernie looks good vs Hilldawg... but just old vs Beto
Dec 04th 2018
80
           yeah beto appealed to non-white voters that bernie struggled with too.
Dec 04th 2018
84
Pointing out who his major donors are doesn’t seem scorched earth to m...
Dec 04th 2018
77
context is key tho.
Dec 04th 2018
81
      I doubt it works this time since Trump is in office
Dec 04th 2018
82
      i'm just saying this doesn't seem like a smear
Dec 04th 2018
85
           trust me. its a smear lol.
Dec 04th 2018
91
           it's not malicious or a smear, at all
Dec 04th 2018
92
                Better now than later
Dec 04th 2018
94
                it is when it's purposefully misleading and lacks context
Dec 04th 2018
127
                how is any of this misleading?
Dec 04th 2018
129
                     smh
Dec 05th 2018
152
                          yeah I'll take my L on this
Dec 05th 2018
154
                          the thing about clapbacks is they aren't sensational though
Dec 07th 2018
181
                          do we know if any of the donations are bundles from corps?
Dec 06th 2018
159
                               yes, we know the answer to those questions
Dec 07th 2018
180
                The question is, to what end is the investigation going?
Dec 04th 2018
132
                     I think Beto could probably roll with that explanation and be fine
Dec 04th 2018
135
                          that's silly bc the initial "wtf" is based on ignorance
Dec 05th 2018
153
                               Fair point. It's reasonable to ask who he gets money from, though
Dec 05th 2018
157
                                    yup
Dec 05th 2018
158
                                    in theory sure
Dec 07th 2018
176
Tried to tell Handle that Beto would change his mind
Dec 04th 2018

130
