I have collected a few video clips from twitter of Beto speaking about specific issues. I will try to add more as I find them. I know there are videos on nearly everything, including healthcare and education, free community college, debt free 4 year public college and debt forgiveness in exchange for public service, Medicare for America, etc. But for now here are these:
First, the video clip that made the nation fall in love with Beto. His answer to a voter who was frustrated over NFL players kneeling. It is one of the most powerful, moving and beautiful speeches I've ever heard.
Father's Day March to Tornillo, child detainment tent city in the hot desert where kids kidnapped from their parents at the border were taken. Who better to debate Trump about immigration and the border than this man? Beto speaks about half way through after interviewing Texans.

A very obnoxious heckler kept screaming and interrupting stump speech, yelling about single payer health care. Beto stopped to answer his question. As he began to answer the guy kept yelling and this was how Beto dealt with it while also responding to the question.

(11,658 posts)A lot of people think he's goofy so they don't take him seriously. I get people preferring someone else but saying Beto has hasn't been talking about policy is just wrong.

(2,113 posts)Since he isn't going on all the cable news shows by choice they tried to punish him by trying to minimize him as a candidate because they believed that would force him to give in and go on their shows. I think he's just waiting until after the novelty of Biden finally jumping in dies down. Peaking at the right time is crucial.

Beto won't allow it to happen again and will demolish Trump in a debate on this issue.
