Why am I all of a sudden...

Why am I all of a sudden... feeling like Beto is a threat to my candidate ? Man, he's getting the crowds, and raking in the donors. Anyone else feeling this way?

1. Because his speeches are boring, with no proposals in them

Est. 12,000 came out at 10:30 last night in Austin:

2. Since I want the best person who can beat Trump, it doesn't feel like a threat

I gave money to Kamala, but also a little to Beto. I like both of them.
I think that both have a good chance to beat Trump.

I want a winner and I want all Democrats to vote Smart! DON'T be stupid!!

3. Not at all. Pete has no threats when it comes to policy, Bernie and Harris have no trouble

getting crowds and donors. Biden hasn't announced so he's not a threat. You are undecided, so who is your candidate that Beto is a threat to? Or Beto is your secret candidate and all the others are out to get him?

6. There's no secret

DSB is definitely pro-Beto.

8. Yeah but Undecided seem to rule.

I've noticed a lot of Undecided's seem to post about Bernie, Biden and Pete. Not supportive posts either. There are two candidates that seem to be safe from Undecided.

4. Early on in the 2008 primary many

said this about Obama. Lots of show, big crowds but no substance. Don't get me wrong as I do not personally believe Beto is another Obama. There will never be another Obama but I don't think there is much question that Beto has the X-factor. His responses to some of the difficult questions he receives are brilliant. He has tons of empathy and he can give inspiring speeches that inspire folks to believe that maybe we can truly save this democracy. The fact that in this particular environment he could come that close to winning a senate seat in Texas is quite impressive. With a crowded field of very competent competitors, if he is still standing and still drawing big crowds at this time next year he will be a force all the way to the end. There is a long way to go. We will have to wait and see.
