The GOP is terrified of Beto, as Cruz was when he asked Trump (the guy who insulted him and his family) to come help him get votes.
O'Rourke did raise a lot of money not using PACs, his own money or any large corporate donors. Remind you of anyone? Sounds a lot like Obama's first campaign. Charismatic and popular over many age groups and demographics with a lot of people donating small amounts. That candidate does not come along every day. (The GOP knows this too).

True dat. They wouldn’t be making fun of and misspelling his name so much if they weren’t threatened by him.
The part where he and his wife founded a software company.
There is also the part where Barack Obama was a practicing lawyer and then a state senator.
Sad that something as simple as Google escapes you.
Lawl. It costs $100 to incorporate a company. What software did they release and profit from? You guys have very very low standards unless you are talking about Trump.
As far as the hapless community agitator is concerned, I know his history, and I said he did bring more to the table. Beta is no where close to even to that very limited career.

I agree with this. If Beto runs, he'd be very popular and would appeal to a large swath of Americans.
The idea that he is "unimpressive" is funny to me considering the current POTUS that many of you complaining about voted for. He is literally a "spoiled little rich kid" who still acts like a kid and who is still spoiled and on top of that is an a$$hole. Another spoiled little rich kid, who knows how to speak and appeal to the masses, isn't a perv or serial cheater or triple divorcee/sleeping with porn stars (probably STD having) sorta guy who actually pulled out a huge amount of support is an overly conservative state - is one of the best candidates to give Trump a run for his money. Beto also has no baggage like Clinton did that Trump can make catch phrases about and isn't a woman so Trump cannot go into one of his misogynoir tantrums against him.
I hope Beto does run. He'd be a breath of fresh air, which is what many Americans viewed Obama as over old fogey HRC and McCain in 2007/2008.

That is why Sanders and Biden are not going to win--they are too old. It's time for some new young blood. I also like Joe Kennedy--he's smart, very articulate, easy going, experienced and younger than what we've got.
I get the silver spoon thing, but W was basically told he had to do something before running for President so he bought a baseball team and got some management experience. Beto should try some kind of career and get real experience before giving speeches about how great he can make the country.
What? W was given shares in the baseball team because his daddy was POTUS.
The team needed to condemn property by eminent domain to build their stadium. They took an old woman's house for the parking lot.
He parlayed the team spokesperson to the governor's mansion. The governor of Texas does not do jack. The Lt gov and the speaker run the state.
They just like him because he's young and attractive. They know nothing about his policies. He still lost after the most expensive campaign for 2018.
There was never any doubt about Beto's chances.
His coat tails were long enough for every Republican judge in Harris County Texas to be defeated. And that's saying a lot. And Congressman Culberson was defeated by a female.
So I haven't heard this guy speak, but his bio is pretty telling. Sounds like he grew up as a trust fund kid. Went off to boarding school. Got his DWI doing the frat thing. Trust funded it off his family living it up in NYC without getting a real job. Then, decided to do something like community organizing back in El Paso. Haven't we learned our lesson from similar characters in the past? How is this guy popular?
Some of us learned our lesson. It did work pretty well, after all. Twice. And the first guy who taught it to us is still the most popular man in the United States 2 years later.
