5. I sure agree - let's hope that the voters do too!

Great that Bill had him on, he needs all the exposure he can get! I'm hoping for that "blue wave," both for him and in my congressional district, too!

Such a likeable, smart candidate. I just can't imagine anybody voting for obnoxious, condescending Cruz over O'Rourke.

9. You're more than welcome! And we know that the incumbent has the advantage,

But in this case it's Ted Cruz! And we heard Bill's quote from Al Franken - he said "I like Ted Cruz more than most of my colleagues like Ted Cruz - and I hate Ted Cruz!"

Billy Bush seems to have disappeared from the lineup, but the video still works.

6. This is pretty much all of the show except for the panel discussion in between

But that's the way it always is, these are considered the "high points" I guess.

7. Haven't we been telling our leadership to get cajones for decades now?

How close to a national meltdown (irreversible) will we have to be before they wake up and get the truthful, correct and strong message out and quit apologizing for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am really impressed by Beto O'Rourke. I think he is going places. He HAS to take down Ted Cruz at least.

12. It was a good show, especially Beto - kudos to Bill for giving him the exposure

And with the "blue wave" we've seen, defeating objectionable candidates, I do think he stands a good chance! I loved Bill Maher's quotes about Ted Cruz - it's obvious he's very unpopular!
