Congrats Beto on holding your own

[Laura PourMeADrink]

With Chris Hayes tonight (not very friendly I might add)

Beto has grown since our campaign here in Texas!!!

[Indygram]

1. That's what happens when you spend all your time answering questions

He's gotten some very difficult and even combative questions from what appeared to be BS supporters screaming out about Medicare for All and accusing him of taking fossil fuel money. He handled them all like a pro.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. It was like Chris Hayes wasn't even listening..like

he didn't care one iota.

Bravo Beto! His one on one worked perfectly here in Texas. Until Cruz/GOP Facebook smears to low infos....(gotta solve that)

Just not sure if Beto can visit every place in America like he did in Texas. He definitely will be president one day.

4. Chris hayes is always like that

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. #1 most annoying to me on MSNBC

[Indygram]

8. Yeah, Hayes tried to go off the topic of the Climate Change plan

And tried to rattle Beto but it didn't work, lol.

[dalton99a]

22. Typical bro

Beto saw what he was trying to pull

[Cha]

35. Yeah, Hayes is too

obvious, and Beto's not the only one who notices.. I love it when he's called out in Twitterverse

[BaileyBill]

2. Rachel said this is his first cable show interview since

announcing. I thought he was excellent.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. Ya and Chris Hayes was like ho hum. FU CH

[Cha]

38. I just heard

a 2 minute clip on this thread, and he did sound really excellent!

[Gothmog]

7. Yeah for Beto

[TexasTowelie]

9. Everyone knows who Chris Hayes prefers.

It comes as no surprise that Hayes would attempt to trip up Beto.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Who?

[TexasTowelie]

21. The independent senator who isn't from Maine. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. You made me think. Sad situation that I am relying

In MSNBC to prop up our people

[TexasTowelie]

25. Chris Hayes had him on his show nearly every week the last time he ran

and he has been a frequent guest after the election.

[Cha]

36. I guess Hayes doesn't mind

showing off what a biased journalist/pundit/whatever he is.

[Cha]

39. Just heard a 2 minute clip

on this thread, and Beto sounded really good!

[Gothmog]

10. Here is the interview

[Cha]

37. Thanks, Goth! Just a 2 minute clip

but Beto sounded really good!

[Trenzalore]

11. He needs to do more TV

At a minimum for fundraising.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Agree. Only reason to go on MSNBC. it's like preaching to

the choir.

[Trenzalore]

14. The Choir picks the nominee

I think he had a good idea to focus small initially in Iowa and New Hampshire to introduce himself to voters there but it needs to be balanced.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Not sure what you mean. I know he was in many more states than that

[Trenzalore]

18. He has made a conscious effort to do smaller venues

Mostly in early voting states.

If I knew shit about whether that was a good strategy or bad strategy I'd be making 6 figures and not posting on DU.

I am sure he saw a bump tonight though in donations from appearing on MSNBC though, particularly if it can be framed it was at all contentious.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. Yet it would take an idiot to go to a state that has zero

effect on our nomination process/schedule at this early point, wouldn't it? It's his MO...one on one campaigning. And it works. Just not enough time to physically get eveywhere in US?

[Indygram]

15. He can't be doing too badly fundraising

I'm on his mailing list and have only gotten 18 emails in the last month and those weren't all fundraising. He's bringing in a killing from his live streams on facebook. There are supporters of 3 other candidates who troll all of his livestreams and spam the chat with promoting Trump, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg and Andrew Yang. Dozens of Beto supporters donate for every troll post, lol. I think they secretly love Beto, hehe.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. That sucks. We are SO far behind on the media game. It will lose us the WH, sadly. nt

[Indygram]

19. Beto will go on TV more

There is still a really long way to go and it's a massive mistake to do too much media too soon because that causes people to peak too soon. As long as he has plenty of money coming in it's all good.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. I hope so. He is actually my favorite - but love Joe too and think he is the only one

who can win. But, it's early.

[Indygram]

24. I think Beto will ultimately be the nominee

And he absolutely can win. Trump is campaigning on the border and immigration. Can you imagine Trump trying to debate Beto on the border and immigration? Beto knows his stuff on those issues and he'd be slapping down Trump's lies and spitting the facts like no one's business.

[dalton99a]

29. +1. Incidentally Beto is quite popular among Hispanics and immigrants in general

Not because of his Spanish, but because of how he has spoken up very publicly and insistently on their behalf

[MustLoveBeagles]

33. They're pretty much tied for first place for me

I love both of them and think either one could win. Really like Mayor Pete as well.

[BlueFlorida]

26. Beto rocked.

Chris Hayes is so different when he has the object of his devotion on his show (which is almost every other week) when he is effervescent, ebullient, enthusiastic and full of deference to the point of drooling.

[dalton99a]

30. No shit. Huge difference when the venerated saint pays a visit

[LakeArenal]

28. Mayor Pete on the Daily Show.

[ecstatic]

31. Chris wasn't friendly? That's surprising. I missed it. nt

[NYMinute]

32. Chris Hayes was just going through the motions

but Beto kept himself on his path and had a star performance.

Go Beto!!

[MustLoveBeagles]

34. I'll try and find the interview tommorow

I really want to see it. Gothmog's link wouldn't play for me.

[Gothmog]

40. Beto has a great plan
