'Jesus Christ, of course he's racist!"

[superpatriotman]

Beto on Morning Mika just now. Hallelujah

[nolabear]

1. Beto is PREACHING.

He might not be president but he is serving this country right now.

[Roy Rolling]

16. So True

This is when having dozens of Democratic presidential candidates is a positive thing. There are dozens of surrogates out there hammering home this message and few right-wing imbeciles out there to counter the fresher footage.

Even the new footage from gun nuts is the same old tired “thoughts and prayers, mental illness, why can’t we just all get along?” shtick.

Let’s hear more, Beto...

[PatSeg]

21. Yes, I like having so many Democratic

presidential candidates. They bring so many voices to the issues and because of their numbers, they amplify Democratic values and viewpoints. Especially during times of crisis, this is a good thing.

[BlueWI]

31. Dominating the news cycle is easier with multiple candidates.

It excites more of our base. I don't get the rush to narrow the field, and leave a small number of candidates as the target for opposition research.

[PatSeg]

32. Yes, a narrow field

really didn't serve us well in 2016. Meanwhile, we are a diverse party and our many candidates reflect that diversity.

[olegramps]

22. At long last a leading Democrat is actually calling them what they are: Fascists

The Republican Party's use of fascist tactics is not something new, but what many of us have been screaming for the last forty years. I am waiting for a one of the leading Democrats to call him a damn lying fascist bastard racist. It is ridiculously delusional that anyone with any sense would delude themselves in to thinking that they can court and win the backing of any damn Republican. The situation is dire and it is time for some straight outright condemnation of the entire Republican Party as the enemy of the Republic. It must be destroyed if the nation is to survive. Its the Democrats choice. Either freedom or servitude. I am sick of the mealy mouthed major media. It is long past due that they challenge and denounce these hate Republican mongers rather than continuing to provide them with cover by claiming to be nonpartisan. The messages are not equal and do not share the same degree of objectivity. One is abject hatred and division against the principles upon which this nation was founded. Make the message loud and clear with no equivocation. We Democrats stand for the truth that is embodied in the nation's Constitution, Republicans stand for everything that the nation's founders abhorred. The Republicans are the enemy and must be defeated.

[RobertDevereaux]

24. Right on!

[pangaia]

2. cities that have hosted his fascist rallies have a 266% HIGHER rate of violence !!!

[dalton99a]

7. +1

[Scarsdale]

9. Plus, they have been

left to pay the expenses from extra security at his hate fests. Cities should demand payment up front, or refuse the rally. He has cost taxpayers more than enough for his golf outings. His "kids" are living high also, grifting from taxpayer money.

[pangaia]

10. ++++

Call out republican fascists and the media !!

trump is their tool who turned out to be the sorcerer's apprentice!!!

[Chemisse]

3. Thank-you! Why does everybody tiptoe around this?

You tell it Beto!!

Of course, he has the freedom of having nothing to lose.

[superpatriotman]

4. Beto is speaking to me

Unlike any other candidate.

He’s holding nothing back and speaking the truth - there is an existential threat to the Republic.

[Funtatlaguy]

6. It became EXTREMELY personal for him. He really loves El Paso.

[agingdem]

20. I live in El Paso and it's excruciatingly personal...

and good for Beto calling out the crap media, supposedly the eyes and ears of our democracy...they look but they don't see, they hear but they don't listen...and when a member of the pack says "we just report the facts, we don't make opinion" I say bullshit! Every time Trump spews hate..every time he targets a people and they report it that's not fact that's opinion..the media created this grotesque monster., they packaged him and sold him to the public and they are as responsible for the El Paso massacre as the deranged gun toting psychopath who drove 10 hours to kill hispanics...

[uponit7771]

5. K&R, he also compared Red Don's screeds to Nazi Germany and he's right !!!

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Everything we fought and did to defeat Nazi Germany

Trump is bringing home to defeat us.

[uponit7771]

14. +1, just what Putin ordered

[bucolic_frolic]

15. c.f., The Holcroft Covenant

[dalton99a]

8. It's plain as day that Trump is using the bully pulpit for evil purposes

[Hoyt]

11. He was very good.

[gademocrat7]

12. K&R!

[mopinko]

17. i have to say, as saddened as i am at the coarsening of our whole culture,

seeing politician curse back of the teevee makes my little heart go pitter patter.

[mainstreetonce]

18. When I first knew Beto I liked him

Then I was disappointed.

Today I love him.

Go Beto!

[Skittles]

30. he's the same he has always been

he's just doesn't play politics

[certainot]

19. wait, but limbaugh keeps saying he's not, it's the democrats. he should know right?

[DeminPennswoods]

23. You know,

I kind of like that Beto's been cussing up a storm answering these questions.

[world wide wally]

25. Bento's numbers will go up for sure

[zentrum]

26. Any city that continues

...to host his rallies is complicit in the murder of their own citizens.

[Texin]

27. I was excited to vote for him this past November in the Texas senate race.

I firmly believe he needs to withdraw from the presidential race and throw his efforts into running against Cornyn. I don't believe (despite what a masterful job of stripping away the veneer of civility of the rethug party, the racist-in-chief, and the media, now in the aftermath of the El Paso massacre), that he can win the nomination and run against the *thing* that is infesting the WH. I do believe, though, that he could unseat Cornyn in the senate. Cornyn has so mealymouthed aligned himself with tRump and his ungodly agenda that he might just as well have surgically sutured himself to the *thing's* ass.

[pamela]

29. He would be a great V.P choice for Kamala

His ability to draw huge crowds, his ability to raise funds and the potential to take Texas will make him a tempting VP choice if he can keep this up. He seems to have found his voice again. I think everyone has been underestimating Beto.

[fishwax]

28. no shit. Tell it like it is.
