(3,196 posts)He always seems to me to really care about women's issues, where a lot of male politicians don't even mention them. He brought up several in this speech. He's very energetic, and it's also impressive that he can switch to Spanish so easily. These attributes are good to have.

He has a way of making sure everyone feels included and important...and that's because it's not just him saying what he thinks people want to hear. The man does not poll test anything. So he says the exact same things to every group of people he talks to. He damn near beat Ted Cruz in Texas just by showing up everywhere, not writing anyone off and talking about the same things to Texans...even gun control. Once people actually listen to him they usually really like him a lot...and he has the most charisma out of anyone running. I really think he is going to be the nominee when it's all said and done. I'm fine with him flying under the radar for awhile longer. Keep an eye out for the debates though...he's incredibly good on the fly with answering questions.

(2,113 posts)There are always some who are so inspired that they are moved to get involved. He has that impact on people and that is so desperately needed to bring new people out to not just vote, but volunteer. I don't think anyone else can bring that to the table to the same level he can.

(153,142 posts)I initially donated to Beto just because I HATE Ted Cruz - but then I started reading Beto's emails and watching videos, and I found him to be very impressive indeed.

Go Beto!!

(2,113 posts)I think he was just waiting for Biden to get in and for the media blitz to die down a bit first. Once he finally does a CNN town hall he's going to shock people because the media has set expectations so low. In the end it will really help him.

(2,113 posts)I am keeping a mental list of all the tv news hosts who keep minimizing him. They are so petty and vindictive over him not wanting to take away from campaigning yet to go on TV for interviews. They think they are king makers or something. He was absolutely incredible at She The People and the SEIU Workers Forum, too.
