You do realize that referring to Beto as "Beta" in every post is the exact behavior exhibited by angry children when they don't get their way, right?

But you're still all about ME.

Now, back on topic.

Beto has Cruz and Trumplings very nervous.

And Hillary had them petrified.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and give that poster the benefit of the doubt. If they are posting from a phone or some other device that autocompletes, Beto becomes Beta.

Or, if I'm completely off-base, how exactly is "Beta" bad? Is it in reference to alpha personalities vs beta personalities?

I do realize that I can call Robert anything I like and that your comment is hilarious given the left’s history with attacking Ted Cruz’s name. 😁

I'll go out on a limb too and say he's doing it on purpose as judged by his post below. Name calling, no matter from which side, just makes the person look childish. On the other hand, posters like him are the face of the typical Trump supporter. Anything that makes them look foolish is a good thing.

No one actually cares about Ted Cruz's name choice, it is the fact that he mocked Beto's that caused his name to be a source of discussion . It also had to do with the argument the right had mad of calling Barack Obama by his entire name, but never Ted Cruz by his entire name .

Yes, it's meant as that ridiculous alpha vs beta thing. Funny enough, i have never met an "alpha" who hadnt been curb stomped by someone they had described as a "beta ".

I'm sure his campaign has made some excuse but we all know the truth, he isn't prepared to debate Ted Cruz and he's scared.
With two years of (pseudo)manly Trump at the helm, and one year before of being the four Cs - crude, crass, callous, and cruel; it's about time we get a beta (Beto or not) in the Senate.

Yep, instead of that monicker having the desired effect, it just makes me want to vote for him even more. Maybe the O'Rourke Campaign can throw you an appreciation party. And you're welcome.

You mean like Trump struts his own stuff to a voting block in desperate need of testosterone detox? Or another one consisting of aging fundamentalists? Meaning, kind of like an overgrown kid trying hard to get the approval of his grandparents friends.

Whiskey Tango?????

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...b0cf7b00312637

Of all the things Cruz's campaign thinks is negative about BetA (I mean that admirably) -- his...punk...band...membership?

How the hell is this going to be viewed as scandalous by anybody under 60 years old and certainly under 50????

BTW, I'm right at 50 and I don't care one way or another that he was in a punk band.

This is just Cruz throwing "red meat" at his base. You tell me what Cruz's agenda is based on that.

So, in your opinion, Congress needs another wuss? That hasn't gotten us far, particularly given the U.S. has been cursed with milquetoasts as Presidents the last 20 + years.




Lol, our country has needed to elect someone with a pair for a long time. Anyway, Beto certainly won't add to the testosterone pool anytime soon. He's a bit effeminate (to each his/her own), and we have enough of that in Congress.
