15. He's answered more questions than perhaps all of the others combined

He has almost as many detailed plans as Warren. Every single effing thing he does that would lead to any other candidate to get showered with praise is ignored and then the national media will take one irrelevant nano second and twist it into some disparaging story.

It's ridiculous. The only other candidates with more DC experience than Beto are Biden and Sanders. Warren and Beto have the same amount of time in Congress. Beto has THREE times the Congressional experience that Kamala has. I wish the supporters or other candidate would just be honest and admit that they don't like him because he's a threat to whoever they want to win.

Texas has more delegates than the first 4 early states combined. Texas has 38 electoral votes and if Trump loses Texas he can't win re-election even with all of the rust belt and every traditional swing/battleground state going to him. Up until June 30th Beto raised about 6 times as much as both Castro and Biden in Texas. He also raised almost THREE TIMES what Trump raised in Texas...in about HALF the time.

It is EXTREMELY foolish to write Beto off if Democrats want to beat Trump.

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