Reposting here because even though this is not campaign related the admins locked my thread as off topic in the general forum.

2. I admire O'Rourke's emotional no nonsense sincerity and lack of panderspeak.

3. Beto on a rampage on Morning Joe

This is a leader! This interview is a defining moment in this election. The turning point is here!!!! THIS IS IT!

Multiple leaders - Beto, Klobuchar, and others are calling for Trump's replacement, removal even. But Beto has now articulated it. This interview on Morning Joe will be remembered for generations!

5. I just saw that, wow

He is still very upset, understandably.

[IronLionZion]

14. The sign of a good representative is when they get angry when their constituents are murdered

a terrorist from Dallas drove 9 hours to El Paso to conduct this attack in Beto's district.

18. I watched the video and it was incredible

its on the Morning Joe web page.

19. Got a link?

I didn't know MJ had a link page.

Beto spoke unscripted, with emotion, no parsing words, everyday language that anyone could understand, he moved Democrats 35 yards in a few sentences.

I had written Beto off. But now he's really decided to enter the race. If Beto is on the ticket, Texas is Blue.

22. He says "Trump is dismantling this democracy"

This is an impassioned speech!

[OldDem65]

25. It sure is! He has given me hope with his honesty

that America can finally rise up and put an end to the insanity. Right now, he's earned my vote. I don't care if he isn't the best at attacking other Democrats. Being the best and most effective at attacking Trump is what matters. He's doing that in grand old fashion!

4. Good for him!

6. They want the "get" sound bite from asking the controversial question.

[SilasSouleII]

7. He was just on morning joe

Not mincing any words.

15. Wow!

Speaking the truth with passion!

[Skittles]

28. you can see in Beto's face the grief and anger and disgust

I still think he THE best candidate

[Gothmog]

29. Beto is an amazing man

I met him at the National Convention and attended a very early meeting with Beto in a small group. I like Beto a great deal and was an early/first day donor to his campaign.

10. Thank you, Beto. Keep up the good work. (nt)

[liskddksil]

13. Excuse me...His city was just ambushed by a terrorist. He speaks for me nt

[IronLionZion]

12. There is a lot of WTF about this issue

like how one side is openly encouraging violence. It's delusional to pretend they're not. Dude's staff has been deleting tweets but there is plenty of video from his rallies and speeches.

Trump did make a weak call for background checks but is probably not going to push the Senate to pass any House bills on that while Moscow Mitch heals his broken shoulder.

[Scruffy1]

16. I would call Trump an accomplice.

Every time he goes off on his racist rants he feeds the beast. Any politician who doesn't call him out needs to be pilloried by the press. When I pulled into the parking lot Saturday morning and saw the bodies laying where they were shot, I had one thought. Trump did this. He is just as guilty as the shooter. We know of his many crimes and yet we dither and mince words. Beto was right on and everyone in El Paso knows it. Impeach now.

[bullwinkle428]

17. Beto has been kicking some serious ass on this subject! Clearly proving

where all of the initial buzz came from.

[Scurrilous]

20. K&R

Don't couch things in niceties.

[renate]

23. I would have posted this in GD too

Even though he's a candidate, he's really not speaking as a candidate here, but as a resident of El Paso who has had enough of Trump's virulence and the milquetoast questions about it.

24. This is what the country needs to hear: The raw emotion directed at the key problem. nt.
