Get to know Beto's policy positions here! (Updated to add Father's Day March to Tornillo tent camp)

Last edited Tue Apr 23, 2019, 11:21 PM - Edit history (6)

I have collected a few video clips from twitter of Beto speaking about specific issues. I will try to add more as I find them. I know there are videos on nearly everything, including healthcare and education, free community college, debt free 4 year public college and debt forgiveness in exchange for public service, Medicare for America, etc. But for now here are these:

First, the video clip that made the nation fall in love with Beto. His answer to a voter who was frustrated over NFL players kneeling. It is one of the most powerful, moving and beautiful speeches I've ever heard.



Father's Day March to Tornillo, child detainment tent city in the hot desert where kids kidnapped from their parents at the border were taken. Who better to debate Trump about immigration and the border than this man? Beto speaks about half way through after interviewing Texans.

Beto on Foreign Policy and Wars




Voting Rights Act




On Climate Change




On the justice system and race




On school shootings, gun control and universal background checks




Partial comments on Mueller Report




The Equality Act, unifying America and overcoming division in the US




A very obnoxious heckler kept screaming and interrupting stump speech, yelling about single payer health care. Beto stopped to answer his question. As he began to answer the guy kept yelling and this was how Beto dealt with it while also responding to the question.






Universal all day Pre-K, teacher salaries, protecting schools against Betsy DeVos, Trade Union apprenticeships, free community college, debt free 4 year college, debt forgiveness for public service and refinance debt to make it less of a burden, etc.

A lot of people think he's goofy so they don't take him seriously. I get people preferring someone else but saying Beto has hasn't been talking about policy is just wrong.

Since he isn't going on all the cable news shows by choice they tried to punish him by trying to minimize him as a candidate because they believed that would force him to give in and go on their shows. I think he's just waiting until after the novelty of Biden finally jumping in dies down. Peaking at the right time is crucial.

Trump wants to separate families on the border again.
Beto won't allow it to happen again and will demolish Trump in a debate on this issue.
