Meanwhile, Beto...

[kpete]

[Peacetrain]

1. This is what I am so proud of!!!!!

Democrats take action and do not sit on their backsides spouting people would rather die than have regulation of their utilities..

[Dale Neiburg]

3. And I doubt if Beto is working from Cancun. nt

[Raster]

2. Texas had a chance to have one of the BEST Senators they could possibly have.

Beto is the real deal and damned decent human being.

[pandr32]

8. True, and Beto isn't a sore loser

He's working to help Texans whether he has Senator in front of his name or not.

[Raster]

18. There is NO DOUBT Beto loves Texas and its people. All of its people.

[pandr32]

20. I really hope he gets enough love back to make him Governor

[cilla4progress]

4. Beto truly loves

Texans

[liberalla]

5. Brought tears to my eyes! So glad they were able to help that man! 151,000 calls -- WOW!

Love Beto! and the volunteers!

[dalton99a]

6. Beto can seriously mobilize people.

[ancianita]

7. He needs to run again. Know what happened when Cori Bush lost, then ran again?

[AllaN01Bear]

9. unlike cruz who fled to cancun whilst texas freezes .

[demtenjeep]

10. MAYBE a GOV run?

he would be a fantastic Gov!

[Pachamama]

28. +100000

That would be great

I actually think he would be an even better Governor than a Senator (and he would have been great at that too)

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. Human nature can be strange.

Obviously, it's completely natural to have a lot of empathy and trepidation over the catastrophe in Texas. But the story of that man in Killeen, and that of Laelth and others hits home far harder, at least for me.

I think Stalin summed it up with: "One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic."

I hope it's not so stark and bleak as that, but it does contain a large measure of truth.

[Mr. Evil]

12. I'm not holding my breath but,

Could this event possibly be the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back? Will republican voters finally realize that their elected republican officials Do Not Care?! All elected republicans care about is being in power, making sure their benefactors grab more profits and their subsequent kickbacks.

Millions of people need to finally realize that republicans simply Do Not Fucking Care!

[RussBLib]

15. A whole lot of Republican citizens also do not care

Too many selfish bastards.

Surely, there are more of us than them. This recent presidential election proved that, but I see too many selfish Republican senators got reelected.

[Mr. Evil]

17. Sad but, you are correct.

For those people the only importance in life is owning the libs.

[VA_Jill]

13. Well, Texas

Here's your next governor...if y'all have any sense at all!

[Martin Eden]

14. Rethugs leave citizens at the mercy of uncaring privately owned power grid

While Democrats roll up their sleeves and help people desperately in need.

The contrast between Beto and Cruz could not be more stark.

Turn Texas Blue!!!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

16. Maybe Beto should call his volunteers "Team Texas"

Subliminal messaging since sports analogies are serious in TX.

[EarnestPutz]

19. Compare this to the mayor who told people "only the tough will survive" as he ignored poor people.

[Initech]

21. Let's flip Texas blue!!!

[GopherGal]

24. Yes, FLIP Texas blue, not FREEZE Texas blue

We'll leave the "freeze" part to the Repugnicans.

[onecaliberal]

22. Texas, you could have this person in the US Government working on your behalf.

Imagine what he could get done for your state.

[Blue Owl]

23. Hey Ted needs a ride to the airport, can anyone help?

[moondust]

25. Killeen is next to Ft. Hood.

Wondering if military bases have their own power supplies and if there is anything they could do to help out???

[trof]

26. That's what we do. We help people.

[BootinUp]

27. This is important work. Bravo. Nt

[Withywindle]

29. Good for him and all his volunteers

This is saving lives.

Also, this is what grassroots politics looks like. Reach out to real people, ask them what they need.
