Without a doubt, your ex-Congressman is winning the air war in his race for Senate.
But if wants to win he needs to launch a ground war.
And I am not seeing.
Yes, driving around town you see Beto signs...and that is about it.
I know this because my grandmother gets bombarded with political mail during the election season. She's elderly, and speaks primarily Spanish. In other words, the Democratic base.
She's gotten a lot of love from other Democratic candidates, whether it be mail or some asshole knocking on her door.
But from Beto? Ni mierda.
And I am not sure she even knows the guy.
Which is even more ridiculous considering Beto's cash haul.
He is playing it way too safe with his money which may suggest he knows he is going to lose, but at least with all that cash he can still play kingmaker.
And with all that cash, I ain't doing Beto's job of informing my grandmother about him.
Fuck that noise.
With Beto's latest stance on agreement to taking a knee during the national anthem, he's getting plenty of "air space" from Hollywood. When Beto loses, he should move to California where he fits in and could win an elective office.

Someone should ask “Beto” if he understands the employer-employee relationship. These NFL players are employees of the respective team owner. If the players want to take a knee during the playing of our national anthem, they can do it on their own time. I am damn sure Beto would not allow his employees to protest against his liberal political party while his employees are working.

GOLFER, Bayto has really never had a job. Just been letting father in law and mom support him. Father in Law was tired of it so told him to run for office. Bayto has no idea about employer and employee relationships. He is a mamma's boy.

In fairness, he did have a successful computer business before he sold it. I understand he's a real estate investor/developer now.
Pops wants to help him, so what. I don't know anyone that would say no to a bit of help. It's Pops money so why are you concerned ? Because you're not getting any help ?
His politics is politics. His business is his business.

Why waste a dime on El Paso when it's guaranteed Dem vote?

JK,
Just to be clear, I’m talking about suburban Dallas in an area that some describe as purple.

Not, Its his father in laws money and he didnt recuse himself from a vote on council that helped his father in law. Not to mention getting the rail yard in Santa Teresa. i thought he was a Texas rep and guess what. Father in law owns things out there too. So, its not his politics is politics and his business is his business. He mixes the 2 for his own benefit and family. Who bought his business ? Someone wanting political favors down the road ? Thats like George Soros buying Obama's book by the thousands. Real Estate developer now ? You mean being father in law's stooge.
