  1. The world's had enough of egotistical idiots. Make America Safe Again. Vote President Tulsi Gabbard 2020. She has integrity, intelligence and real experience.

  2. Beto is clearly a centrist that leans toward the corporatocracy that is enslaving our nation. His policies surrounding health care and other social issues are not representative of the progressive wing of the Democratic party.

  3. Tulsi Gabbard has more integrity than most of the other candidates combined. Find out more about her and don't just listen to main stream media. Tulsi is the last candidate the establishment would want to see as president. Democratic party and country is extremely corrupt and totally under control of congressional/ military/ industrial complex.

  4. To many of us progressives, as I and many of us older folks are, Beto is basically a clown. That style may work in Texas, but it is going to fall flat in many other parts of the country. He also is basically a republican.

  5. Right Wing Democratic Party vs an even further Right Wing Republican Party. Give ppl the choice between a Republican and a Republican, they vote for a Republican.

  6. How is the 2nd largest recipient of Oil Industry campaign contributions in 2017 (after Ted Cruz) be able to put the breaks on fossil fuel burning and switch tpo green energy needed to stop Global Climate Change?!

  7. Beto O'Rourke is more like Reagan than Kennedy, he's all anecdotes with no substance. He's also like Reagan in that his policy record is abysmal, but Beto is goofy and awkward where Reagan was charming.

  8. Somehow having an economic approach somewhere in between Obama and Bill Clinton is getting sneared at as being alien to the Democrats. You don't have to be Bernie to be progressive.

  9. Cover Pete Buttigeg. Keep hearing he's a great candidate but no one has ever bothered to explain his political past.

  10. If he could't finish off Ted Cruz in debates where he was presented with huge open goals by his second rate opponent, he'll be eaten alive by Trump.

  11. As soon as I saw Beto, I saw naught but flowery words with no policy whatsoever. "He's as fake a progressive as they come," was the very 1st thought that hit my mind.
    Now that I've seen him more? I've come to that same conclusion — FAKE!
    I see a corporate centrist who's hands can speak more than his fluffy words.

  12. Who he (Beto) really is? "Reuters held a Beto story until after his Senate bid
    " I will dismiss what a lot of teens say but it's totally not normal for any 15 year old to visual running over children and killing them. While I can only state my opinion on that since I am not a health professional but that's some serious mental problems IMO. Who he is, is a monster IMO. But even for people that don't disgust, his record is not progressive! He is another Obama, full of pretty speeches to make you feel warm and fuzzy all over where you won't care what his real positions are! Bernie/Tulsi 2020

  13. I'm not sure to have correctly understood everything said about O'Rooke, but I definitely still hope that Bernie wins the 2020 election, and I think he should definitely make sure to do as Jacqueline suggests, or as she says he must definitely do. Maybe Bernie could take on Jacqueline as a campaign advisor. She's made it clear a number of times now that Bernie needs to focus on getting the votes of Black Americans, who she says seriously or strongly are in favor of his candidature.

  14. Betos such a coward hes guilty of a dui hit and run..im madd.why is he employed in public office right now?

  15. I have this sinking feeling that 2020 will in many ways be a rerun of 2016. Bernie will stop short of the finish line and sheepdog for whichever corporate lackey the Democrats are running (he's pretty much said this is what he is going to do), Trump will win again, Democrats will be screaming bloody murder again and the left will have been fooled yet again. By other developed countries' standards Sanders barely qualifies as a centrist liberal, let alone a social democrat…he sucks on foreign policy and he unequivocally backs the Democratic status quo. Too many people have swallowed his "democratic socialist" baloney (he is a dyed in the wool liberal) and forgotten that the Democratic Party smothers the life out of leftists and progressives. At the very least we should be talking about what the plan is if Bernie doesn't work out.

  16. What motivated
    🍄rump when he said, during his Campaign,; " I will never cut Social Security " ? Just political expedience .. Beto will say anything he thinks the working class would like, then when he gets in .. well who knows .. he will most likely just kow tow to his corporate owners & forget the people ..
