Beto has a following, because the insipid left loves a shiny object. Ones with little gray matter, as their love affair with AOC proves.
Once the scrutiny of a campaign starts to heat up, he'll have a lot to answer for. Starting with his push to bulldoze a historic Hispanic neighborhood, to benefit his wealthy FIL, while he was a councilman.
Based on the results of the last presidential election, people have already proven that they don't care about these sorts of issues.
I wouldn't count on anything like this to torpedo O'Rourke's candidacy.

I think Individual 1 supporters like a good reality junk show. It's telling since they elected the most radical unhinged president in history. They certainly elected their Celebrity Apprentice. He stays in the news based on his negative rhetoric AND polices. Beto is turning out people from all walks of life including young, minorities, LGBT and the Never Trump GOP.
Today some D candidates announced their first quarter 2019 donation totals. Harris and Saunders so far. Did Beto's campaign make this announcement yet?
NEW YORK — Beto O'Rourke had just finished speaking about racial injustice to the National Action Network when the Rev. Al Sharpton, its president, pushed him to say a little more.
“Your fellow Texan, Sheila Jackson Lee, has proposed a commission to study reparations,” Sharpton said. “If that passes, and you are president of the United States, would you sign that bill?”
O'Rourke, who had spent 15 minutes talking about how white America left black America behind, didn't hesitate. “Yes,” he said, to applause and a few surprised cheers. “Until all Americans understand that civil rights are not just those victories that I began with at the outset of my comments, but the injustices that continue to be visited on people, we will never get the change that we need to live up to the promise of this country.”
You'd think this would kill his chances, given the extreme unpopularity of reparations with most voters, but then most of the Democratic candidates are coming in favor of them...

There are lots of ways reparations could be delivered. Not all of them directly involve money or would have much impact on the nation's budget.

we already had reparations... nearly a million Americans (1861-1865) gave their blood, sweat and lives to pay for following the English mistake of slavery

Mayor Pete is so sensible--shocking for a politician!!! Sure would like to see him be the nominee. He's the complete opposite of Trump, thankfully.
