At his inauguration he will have his kids play piano while he rocks out. USA goes *awwwwwwwwww*Beto playing guitar and singing at campaign events with rock stars is something the media won't be able to pass up. He's going to look cool af and be the guy you can have a beer with. That's all that matters to alot of the voters in the USA. He's going to help Dems retake the Senate and regain a foothold for Dems in the Midwest.
Beto has charisma and substance. I can see him being elected, but at this stage it's still very hard for me to visualize what exactly his Presidency would look like.
I am telling you what I think, it's not like a riddle, I think that small donations is what made the Democrats move away from even exploring the idea of public finance.This tells me that you think of votes and donations as rewards, rather than strategic choices to get the best choices into office.
Nobody is going to give away half their net worth (which is 5M is, for Beto) to have a shot at office. And if our choices were limited to people who were able/willing to spend that much of their own money, I don't think we'd like the choices available very much. Unless you are a Schultz fan.
I remember the Obama thing now, I recalled the specifics incorrectly.
For the record, I am 100% for mandatory public financing of campaigns, limited campaign windows, and overturning CU. 100%. Have been for the first two parts of that since before CU even happened.
But until that happens, I don't see how self-sabotage does anything to make things better.
FFS, not everything is about Bernie (and for real, I post a lot here, why on earth would anyone think I'm a bernie stan is beyond me, but like, I learned I can't talk about Sanders without people losing their shit, but now I can't talk about anyone without this happening?).Just out of curiosity, were you this affronted when those same poor college kids gave their money to Bernie? Or did you just save it for Beto?

Did you mean to type "BETO"?
It's an understandable typo, the V is right next to the B.
*edit*
lol, I didn't read the posts after the one I quoted.
We're almost like a hive-mind here.
The lincoln post in that thread is murder alert the modsBut she supported Bernie!
Despite not agreeing with most of his platform!
And is currently running against him?
wait something's not right
This is about the only major worry I have right now.The longer Bernie hesitates on his tax returns the more nervous I get
Bernie is the only one with the cult fanbase that attacks everyone that joins the raceI worry with all these candidates in the running, that we're going to get even more people disinterested in voting if their guy/girl isn't the nominee like we got due to Hillary beating Bernie. Most of these people have some robust fan clubs!
It would probably be bad if Obama didn't have like a 90% approval from Democrats so the "he's like Obama" while funny also probably not actually detrimental

lbh he's pretty much a combo of Bill and Obama.
Now I feel obligated to serve.
Hard to get over the fuckery of that Ben Sasse statement. "I believe the president is overstepping his constitutional authority, but I'm going to let it slide because I don't want him to look bad in front of the Dems, and I want Dems to pass legislation to make sure that the precedent I'm setting doesn't stick."

Cummings requesting docs from the Fox News reporter that uncovered the Stormy Daniels stuff (via MSNBC)
I never really thought about it like that bur he does sort of merge a lot of Bills traits with Obama into a blender.
This is true. He lacks the country accent of Bill, but otherwise he's a pretty good mix of them.

Also Cummings requesting docs.from the Fox reporter seems kind of pointless? What will it accomplish? Still waiting on those subpoenas.

We already know the story thoughThe reporter *wants* to tell the story but is tied up by NDA.
Governmental investigations (no subpoena required) are exempt from NDA so now the reporter will be able to talk.
We already know Trump paid off a porn star and Playboy model though. We know Fox protected him by not.pitting the story out. There's really not anything to gain from her talking to themNot the whole story. The leaked story did not come from the reporter.
A combination, not a perfect melding of the two.Bill Clinton is one of the smartest people on the entire planet though. I don't get that impression from Beto.

What has Beto done?
His only legislative accomplishment was to rename a courthouse and he lost a Senate race.
At least Robert Francis O'Rourke announced at an opportune time – right before St. Patrick's Day.
