It's okay when Trump does it though? I hate parts of this country.  God forbid he speak the way literally 95% of people I've ever heard speak.

Either way, a very strong number for someone with relatively low name ID. He's gonna have more than enough money to compete heavily.

Unique contributions wasn't unique donors. Of course they dump this on a Friday.


Your fear is showing

It's quite obvious who the Bernie people fear right now.

Can he use any left over money from his senate campaign?

Pretty sure I read he donated the remainder to the Texas Democratic Party. Not a bad investment though. If there's one state I'm most optimistic about as a Democrat, it's Texas. The opportunities and rewards are huge. If Texas falls, Trump is gone and Democrats could once again become the natural governing party in the House.

Likely because Beto will be Obama 2.0 and compromise on every single thing? He already backed off Medicare for All, and don't give me the stupid pragmatism argument.

I support Medicare for All and so does Beto, but he's realistic as well. We don't have the votes in Congress. The Medicare for America Act would be a massive improvement over what we have now.  That is something that could potentially become law with a Democratic President. It's not a debate over pragmatism. It's a debate over realism. The failure in the ACA was the inability to get a public option through, but that was because traitor Joe Liberman f-cked us over.

I'm thinking if he can't have a massive breakout moment in the first or maybe second debate, he should consider moving his candidacy to the Texas Senate race. I donated to his campaign in March. I wouldn't be offended if he transferred that money to taking out Cornyn.

I'm off the ship now, I'm sad to say. It's obvious now that he was unprepared for a presidential campaign, let alone the Presidency.
