Beto at Little Rock for Moms Demand Action rally. [View all]

[TomSlick]

Herself and I just returned from Little Rock for the Moms Demand Action Rally.

It was 95 degrees, blazing sun and high humidity.

I was expecting a couple of local Democratic politicians and they were great. There was a high school student who was simply amazing.

When I thought things were winding down, the Arkansas head of Moms introduced Beto - who had not been announced as a speaker.

He really wowed the crowd. His proposal for a mandatory buy-back of assault weapons was particularly popular. If nothing else, he is an amazing speaker who has found his issue with gun violence.

I'm still not convinced he's the right guy but I am, in the words of the old gospel song, "Almost Persuaded."
