Beto O’Rourke 2020 campaign megathread

He's hired Plouffe and Obama's 08 IA director Paul Tewes as advisers, with a launch expected this week.

Interesting. Would not be surprised to see Obama be Team Beto.

Sweaty Betty!

Useless candidacy. Some Democrats need to realize that they can't just be president and that it would be better for a lot of these people to do other things rather than continue to crowd the field.

I agree. Joe Biden shouldn't enter the race.

Leaning toward Beto and Amy early on, but still in the undecided camp.

I think she'll make a good first lady as well.

So Beto has like 100K less donors like half the number that Sanders. He has more nunber of donors who has maxed out & most of his donors have on an average less to give vs Individual limit.

I don't think how this is bad for Sanders. He has double the number of donors (almost) than Beto & has raised equal odd amount but his supporters have much more money to give & will donate again & again & again.

Sanders had 8.5M odd individual contributions from 2.5M individual donors in 2016. Beto is polling less than half of Sanders & has shown no noticeable bump in the polls YET.

Man Russian bot English is failing.

Calling Beto O'Rourke "Robert O'Rourke" is going to be the new version of calling the Democratic Party "the Democrat Party," isn't it? 

Yes. Rove has been doing it for a while now. Only he always uses the middle name too.

I'm planning on going to the Houston one today.

Houston - 2K going + 7.4K interested = 9.4K
