Beto for 2020

[Starbuck1975]

Who donated though?
According to all polls I have seen he's polling around 8% or so... and has a massive amount of funds raised in the first 24 hours... It's possible but probably not from small donors...

While Bernies campaign did release the approximate numbers of individual donors...

150,000 within the 1st day and about 360,000 in the first week.

An interesting video...

A comment from the above video....



In short does Beto's amount of money raised reflect grassroots support or support from the Monied Interests? Given the details that CNN didn't report because they didn't have the information and won't until FCC is told by law I'd bet on the latter.

Exactly. He is not truly a grass roots candidate. He is a shiny object that attracted big donors because they thought he was the key to Texas.

The GOP has issued their St. Patrick's Day message for all to enjoy:

I guess the GOP has decided that the drunken Irish stereotype is a winning message for them this year. Republicans are fucking tone deaf in their attempts at what they think is humor.

Are the GOP sure they want to start trading pictures of people arrested for criminal behavior?

Spread the FUD! With some help, you can tear down all the Dem hopefuls before any of them get a shot at it.

I would. To borrow from Bernie Sanders, I'd say that any Democrat is 100X better than any Republican. It wasn't necessarily that way 40 years ago, before the GOP became the party of hurt feelings, xenophobia, racism & greed. To vote GOP is to vote for the economic demise of the middle class.

And the Democrats are the party of: "who needs facts when I have feelings?".

Hey guys, remember when that well-known Democrat Newt Gringrich said feelings are what matter?

Y'all are still chanting "Lock her up!" at Trump rallies last I checked. Meanwhile, more Trump cronies are getting locked up on a regular basis.

When I watch Playoff or election once my team loses it still matters but a lot less. I am trying to remain neutral as not to be disappointed by the candidate I will eventually vote for.
If there is an R by their name I intend to give them a pass. Do not let turmoil and dissent think voting doesn't matter. Vote the traitors out!

No, just the ones that can lose to Trump, or prevent the premature anointment of a frontrunner.

Oh the ironing.

Climate change.

You'll do your best to see to it that none of them can defeat Trump.

Brandonbull doesn't iron.

I think this is a good analogy

The world is burning

Trump pours gasoline and hydrogen airships on the fire.

Joe Biden, Beto O'Rourke, Kamala Harris, and Amy Klouchar are flame retardants, might make things a bit better, but, maybe won't be very effective.

Tulsi Gabbard, Andrew Yang, and Elizabeth Warren are the fire extinguishers.

Bernie Sanders is a big ole fire truck. with hoses, ladders, and the works.

 

[brandonbull]

Climate change.

Which climate change? The one where the Earth has been doing it's thing for maybe a few billion years or the Al Gore one? Of all the rebuttals to my "facts" claim, you go with that?

You are on the right track about them being retardants.

Oh lookee there I think we have an idea why Ted Cruz beat BetOnMyStork in Texas.....

BTW that's not bashing that is providing evidence as to why it is ok to not support BetOnMyStork
