1. I'm really starting to like this guy!

Keep it up, Beto.

[OldDem65]

4. He has singlehandedly changed the whole narrative

And some in the media are actually at least attempting to be more responsible. He is NOT afraid to call Trump out and speak the truth but he's doing it in a way that calls on others to stand up against it too. That's a winning recipe.

[jrthin]

8. Me too. I haven't decided on anyone, but since his response

to the reporter in El Paso, I am kinda rooting for him.

[yellowdogintexas]

29. now you know why Texans love him

There is so much more there than these idiotic debates could ever show. Spend time in a room with him especially if he is doing a town hall and you will feel it

[friend of m and j]

37. Hey yellowdog,

I think there are more of us out there than people realize. with a pack of yellowdogs with Beto leading it we'll chase those Re-pubs out of Texas with their tail between their legs.

[Funtatlaguy]

2. Wont happen with Cuomo. His brand is both siderism.

[LiberalLovinLug]

15. It goes deeper than that

If he wants to keep his job he HAS to do the " both siderism".

There are CNN executive meetings that, I'm sure go over the daily stories and deciding how best to present them so as not to even APPEAR to favor one party over the other. Or, in these times, do there very best to try to as much as possible.

Even when one party has totally morphed into a full fledged white nationalist junta. What's important to them is to cling into as many consumers they can to watch their ads.

[NewJeffCT]

17. A few months back

he had on Kellyanne Conway. No idea why I kept it on, but the yelling back & forth just gave me a headache (for real) - she should NOT be given a platform to spew with her Firehose of Falsehood

[True Dough]

41. I stopped watching Cuomo's show a long time ago

because it was too confrontational. I enjoy good dialogue but not bickering or shouting. And Kellyanne should not be a guest on ANY show. She's just an unrepentant liar.

[dalton99a]

3. What The Fuck is right.

[aikoaiko]

5. The mainstream media did call out Trump on his racism and nothing happened.

He may even be more popular because of it.

[melman]

6. There's been a lot of bullshit about a 'different tone' this week

like this bullshit here

7. He pivoted - so presidential!

Fucking brainless parrots

[Traildogbob]

10. Wow

This is the unity we need to end the treason. Trump style names thrown at our on. Well done.😡

[Delmette2.0]

11. Fuck that!

Dipshit had to be on drugs to read platitudes that someone else wrote. I agree with the DUer who wrote that he looked like someone with a gun to his head. Most of this country knows when Dipshit is talking about his own beliefs and when he is forced to say the right thing.

[friend of m and j]

38. I dont think Stephen Miller could have forced himself to write the teleprompter speech.

I wonder who wrote it.

[happy feet]

19. I can't watch Norah O/Donnell

or another woman, whose name escapes me, who is a so-called White House Press Correspondent. I always turn the station when I see them. So mamby pamby pretending #45 is becoming 'normal'.

[world wide wally]

9. Beto has become the guy I was hoping to see.

[Skittles]

26. he has always been that guy

[yellowdogintexas]

30. absolutely, Skittles

but then down here we have known that all along.

[Skittles]

34. yes

waiting for the rest of the nation to wake up

If someone says it's raining, and another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true.

18. +1. A keeper

[YOHABLO]

13. I'd like to know why they have to stand in front of the mall where the shooting occurred.

And Cuomo does play that both 'siderism' crap. Com'on Cuomo really?

[melman]

16. That's a good question

They always do that whether it's a shooting or natural disaster..or whatever it is. Whenever something big happens they all come in and set up camp. It's like saying we are here. Well so what you're there? What does it really mean?

I was living in Boston when the Marathon bombing happened, and the whole Copley Square area was packed with media people and TV trucks for like a week. I saw 'em all...Cuomo, Wolf, Anderson Cooper, Erin Burnett, Lawrence...and on and on. And it really made me think about that. Just what are they doing here? What do they think it accomplishes?

[cp]

14. Thank you, Beto!

[BeckyDem]

20. Yes, but they helped him get elected.

[Princetonian]

21. Beto is a terrific extemperaneous speaker when he gets his blood up.

If he doesn't win the nomination, I can see him vetted for VP to help put Texas into serious play. What do you think?

[yellowdogintexas]

32. I have no doubt he will be on the short list for VPOTUS.

I also believe that if he is the VP nominee, it will impact how Texas votes. Usually that really doesn't make a whole lot of difference but I think with Beto it would, especially if he keeps this up and shows the country the Beto we saw as he campaigned across Texas

He and Mayor Pete are the most genuine of all the candidates.

[friend of m and j]

40. Both Beto and Mayor Pete are the real thing. What you see is what you get. As is

Joe Biden. They are all honest moral men filled with integrity. I support Biden for the nomination even though he is getting up in years (same age as me) because I think he can beat Trump. And Biden is smart. His big problem is finding the right spot for all the really talented and smart people. He will listen to the youngsters and use some of their young ideas in making policy decisions. And he will mentor them making them even better candidates in future elections. Kamala Harris would make a great A/G. As strange as it sounds, I think Elisibeth Warren would be great in the judiciary (SCOTUS) I don't know what to do with Bernie except maybe make him Advisor Emeritus. Maybe Mayor Pete as Housing and Urban Development. You'll notice I didn't name anyone for DHS because I think that monolithic monster needs to broken into several agencies.

With all the talent available Biden could have one of the best administrations in a long time.

[RLG]

22. "But he's not Mayor Pete." or "He should run for the Senate," says other candidates supporters.

Over the past few days, I'm thisclose to supporting Beto.

It's too bad it's not showing up in the polls.

[OldDem65]

23. I think he will have a sharp rise in the polls and he's really earned it

He has stepped up in the face of tragedy and shown he is courageous and honest. He's also able to really swing hard at Trump and actually land the punch unlike any of the others have been able to do yet. He has Trump on the defensive.

[yellowdogintexas]

31. Beto is not afraid to step up that 's for sure

and another thing, his position in the 'rankings' actually gives him more freedom to tell it like it is which should actually allow him to gain some ground

[MustLoveBeagles]

28. Yeah, those memes got old very fast

It seems like Beto was cast as the runner up in a two person contest early on. Don't get wrong, I like Mayor Pete a lot and I don't think this is coming from him. The two of them seem to get along well and I've never seen either one speak badly about the other. As for the Texas Senate race, the Democratic party already has a strong candidate running. I don't think she'd appreciate being elbowed out of the way.

I think it's a little early for any bounce to show up in the polls. I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least a small one, but even if there isn't one? So what? He's saying and doing what he needs to support his hometown. That's the important thing.

It would be great if you took the plunge and decided to support Beto. He could use more support on this site. No pressure here. It's entirely up to you.

[lame54]

24. Cuomo's a hack

[A-Schwarzenegger]

25. Chris "Both Sides" Cuomo

[NastyRiffraff]

27. He's been schooling the media in general

beginning with his memorable, "Members of the Press, what the fuck?"

You can feel his anger, sorrow, and disgust.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. what hurts El Paso hurts him to the core. Shit got REAL personal

and he won't back down. I hope he is asked about this on countless interviews.

[BigOleDummy]

35. Yes, I agree with most here

Mr. O'Rourke has really stepped up and more of our candidates should take a lesson from him. ESPECIALLY how he puts some of the onus on the Media. Our chump-in-chief has Fox, "we" have ………….. less and less these days it seems. All chump's whining about the media being unfair to him has worked , in my eyes at least, because everyone seems to be bending over backwards to not invoke his displeasure. Fuck that! Call it like it is! Kudos to Mr. O'Rourke.

[MadDAsHell]

36. Problem is in 2019 we don't even have generally agreed upon definition of racism anymore.

When Joe Biden and Donald Trump are being described with the same word, we've lost the audience.

Shoot, both Bernie Sanders and Secretary Clinton got the label from sectors of our party in the last decade or so.

A great start would be to stop calling other Democrats racist just to get a 1% poll bump. Then the word might actually regain some of its power and be meaningful as a label.

[live love laugh]

39. ❤️❤️ Beto. nt

[SayItLoud]

42. Leopards and Spots

At some point we realize that some people will not change.
That point for tRUMP was a looooooong time ago.
Cuomo keeps hanging on to "we need to have this discussion".
People die and our country is dying under tRUMP. It's time to move past the "conversation" and get to the action.
Impeach, and vote these MF's out. Or we deserve what we are getting and will get a ton more of it.

[Perseus]

48. Great point "we need to have this discussion"

With whom are we supposed to have a discussion? The right doesn't know how to discuss, the media has to have their part to give it all the strength they can to show how vile the creature is, if they continue asking what the creature needs to do, all they are doing is validating him as if he knows what to do or is willing to do it. The creature is a vile SOB who doesn't care about anything or anyone but himself, he is so compromised by Putin that he is only trying to save his skin and that of Ivanka.

[sigpooie]

43. Man, your gone if that didn't fire you up.

It's not what you said
It's not what you did
It's how you make them feel.
Beto , Harris, Pete
Please support them. We need that attitude to break through these lines of bullshit the gop feeds us.

[raging moderate]

44. .

Andrew Jackson was the worst, wasn't he?

I apologize for the dual post. Something has been preventing me from posting normally. And not only here. I also have trouble answering surveys, signing petitions, and naming a new recipient on Paypal. As soon as I do a keystroke of any kind, I get flipped out of the internet, instantly. Here, I had to try several times before I could click fast enough to get my post online. Also, that little autofill function for my personal information stopped showing up. This is a shared computer, so I am not sure what is happening.

[Perseus]

47. Russian trolls have taken over your computer...

Seriously now...I would have it checked for viruses, and do it sooner than later.

Good luck.

[Perseus]

46. Very well done Beto, just one advise

Look at people in the eye when you talk to them, you are "the leader" and as such you need to look at people's faces when you are listening to what they are saying and when you talk to them, you can not look at the ground, if you do that your message looses a little bit of power, and that message was so good that it required all the power you could have given it.

Beto has been the best voice of all candidates during this crisis, and he has not put any breaks on what needs to be said. I like that.
