Beto lost to a man very popular in Texas! I'm in Houston, I voted for Beto, his campaign called me three times- they did an awesome job.

Beto only lost because Republicans managed to disenfranchise/gerrymander a very slim couple percent of D voters....

disenfranchised D voter I personally know was scammed. Someone registered him in another Texas county, he only found out when he went in to vote & he was turned away.
I checked the public rolls today just to see if he took my & the polling station Judges advice to please re-register!. He didn't re- register, still on public list in the wrong county and listed as an active voter! That means someone used his vote, there is fraud happening!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

I live in Texas ... Rafael Cruz was sweating bullets and the RepubliCONs were pouring money SFnomad Mar 2019 #8

This was a mid term year and Beto still made it close Gothmog Mar 2019 #42

I think that's something people aren't considering enough of SFnomad Mar 2019 #44

Love him and hope to have a chance to vote for him in the future. But this time I have Squinch Mar 2019 #9

Good points. nt cwydro Mar 2019 #16

I don't like that he's starting out apologizing either. marylandblue Mar 2019 #17

Well said. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2019 #25

I'm looking forward to watching him. NT WeekiWater Mar 2019 #12

I think he lost because Cruz gave polling data to the Russians and INdemo Mar 2019 #13

Agreed. I pointed out same to my father who disagreed bc Texas has 34 electoral votes RestoreAmerica2020 Mar 2019 #14

Yes. O'Rourke should take on Cornyn. chimpymustgo Mar 2019 #15

Yep. And if I studied Castro and O'Rourke, I bet I'd end up supporting Castro. Hoyt Mar 2019 #28

They are very different, for sure. If Castro could only amp up some energy... Laura PourMeADrink Mar 2019 #30

Rafael isn't that well liked, even in Texas. Cornyn, even though he's an ass too, is liked SFnomad Mar 2019 #45

He seems to be a bit of a mess. He didn't even have a good answer for why he was running! Luciferous Mar 2019 #20

Sure he did! He was "born to it." Lol. Tipperary Mar 2019 #21

Yeah he seems a bit too flaky Luciferous Mar 2019 #24
