Notes from Beto's Campaign Rally

First Read has some good observations from Beto O’Rourke’s campaign kickoff in El Paso over the weekend:

He doesn’t use a Teleprompter.

His campaign didn’t release speech excerpts.

His campaign excels at building picturesque rally settings (also see his last stop in Austin).

His speech covered the bases on policy (health care, education, climate change), clearly reacting to the earlier criticism that he had lacked policy specifics.

His speech had a heavy emphasis on immigration and the border battle (“Let’s make sure that we never take another child from another mother after her most desperate and vulnerable moment”).

And he made unity his other big theme (“Let’s agree, going forward, before we are anything else, we are Americans first”).
