Beto explains his reasoning on every bill he supported or was against.

Yet another thing I really love about him. Good or bad, agree or not, he lays it bare.

Edit: Alrighty, removing the @ this time didn’t work. Just makes it a broken link..

Will have to copy and paste. Apologies.

It is a fair question. Yes, he did. Not the best answer imo, but it is an assessment more than a few others shared at that time.

Can you tell me if there was ever an accounting from Bernie, or his campaign leadership for Booing Nancy Pelosi at the convention that same year??

By my own way of thinking, Betos vote had no effect at all, Nancy did still win hands down.

The atmosphere that played out at the convention very well may have been a factor in us having Trump instead of Hillary for the last 2 years.
