2. If Beto is half as good as Governor as he is as a candidate

He'll have Texas turned around before the Easter Bunny arrives, and wonders if the air in Austin isn't a little fresher than it was last year.

3. You got that right - the stench is pretty damn strong these days. ☮

16. Don't forget what he'll have to deal with

If Beto wins (and I sincerely hope he does), just remember that he'll STILL be dealing with an overwhelmingly red state legislature. Yes, he'll do his best to implement his policies, but it'll be a very steep uphill climb.

17. Just to halt the current descent into hell

That would be a wonderful start. The longest journey, as they say.............

4. We are fortunate to have a great Democratic candidate in Texas,

who is working to build the Democratic party there, even when chances of success are not great this year...



Even if it does not happen this year, I think that Beto will achieve higher office, if he keeps coming back!

I don't even know who else ran for governor or US senator, in the last 20 years before his attempts... He is getting national attention.

Who knows? We could get lucky this year. I pray for Texas...

18. About 20 years ago

I was at a meeting of the Texas Democrats, and Jim Carville was the featured speaker. He said that when he was asked to speak to the Texas Democrats, he thought the meeting would be taking place in a phone booth. There are a few more of us now than there were back then.

8. Ill be honest. At first I wasn't impressed. But...

That was a few years ago. And I'm older so I thought he seemed too young. And really not together.

Now I see him maturing, and how quick he is, and his empathy, and more and more I am reminded of Bobby Kennedy.

9. I met Beto at the 2016 National Convention

It was part of a group of delegates and he seemed nice but quiet. Again there were a couple strong personalites in this group. . I went to an early event in 2017and like him. Beto has really developed.

10. He Really Needs To Establish Residency In A Different State So He Can Run There nt

20. That second tweet from Junction TX

This is retail politics at its most retail. Small room, maybe three dozen people, and O'Rourke is working it like a backwoods pastor at an altar call. Responding to interruptions in real time, respectfully, and forging ahead with what he wants to say to the people there to hear him.

He doesn't have to win every vote from the deeply conservative areas of Texas, but if he peels off a couple-three percent of the vote from Abbott, or just persuades some people to leave their ballot for governor blank, he greatly enhances his prospects for winning. I'm really interested to see if this works. I've been saying for many years that this is a campaign tactic that could prove decisive for Democrats.

13. I'm in that pic! I am standing in the blue and white

plaid shirt at about 10 o'clock from Beto, next to the guy with the Beto shirt. That's a good friend of mine with the
"Wir leiben BETO!" sign. The Abbott people were being stupid, for lack of a better way of putting it. One of them shouted at me if I had a bad of weed on me as I was leaving. That was a great rally.

14. Beto is going to win

Go Beto!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. Beto shows up. Abbott just shows his ass.

19. Beto also got a question/remark by a trumphumper telling Beto he couldn't be on the ballot

because Beto is a Communist.

Beto got a chuckle out of that. Beto told him that as a business man he is actually a Capitalist and makes payroll every week. Beto also acknowledged he usually gets called a Socialist, Beto had the crowd jumping to their feet.


Beto is unwavering in his passion to speak to all voters.

I just worry about his safety.
