Beto is great, but his chance at winning are low. There are other great Democrats as well that are running that have much more realistic chances than him. We have races in Missouri, Indiana, Arizona, Nevada, Florida. These are just as important and all the Democratic candidates have much better chances than him. As much as I want Ted Cruz gone from the Senate, I do not want McSally or Rick Scott coming to the Senate! The ladder's chances are a lot greater than the former.

and rightly so. Charismatic. He's young and represents the upcoming generation. He's not old. He's not bought. He doesn't use PACs. He's been to every state in that huge state. He doesn't say bad things about his opponent. He has received 3 or 4 times more individual donations than Cruz and his few large donors.

I hope that answers your question. And since I'm not a resident of any of those states and don't contribute to any of them...hey, this is news. You'll find a few million more are just as obsessed as I am. Go on You Tube...he streams live on Facebook. Dude's got it down.

I don't see the use of even your question? Why not? We could use a couple dozen of him in getting rid of the skeletors like Grassley. Then the country could be obsessed with 12 more.

Gotta start somewhere ... Go Beto !!!!!

Out of all the Republicans running for Senate, she is by far the biggest lunatic of them all -- and that is saying something considering Rick Scott is running.

She is the wackiest by farrrrrr.
Google her positions and statements.
She is Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin rolled
into one big bigoted ball.

Great point. I completely forgot about her (there are so many to keep track of). Yeah, she certainly takes the cake. Does Phil still have a shot to beat her down there? I am really hoping so.

Those Republican members of Congress who voted to kill ACA "root and branch" are now branching out to root for it. I gather most voters are not going to buy the bullshit,
