OMG! Beto will be on The Rachel Maddow Show tonight.

About time!

He's on ! My god his deep voice. What a man

It won't help

Déjà Vu, loser.

What does this man have to lose with running? Beto is just a schmuck.

He's trying to make a comeback. Mayor Pete came along and quickly bumped him out of the spotlight.

It's too soon to tell what's going to happen since Joe Biden is the most popular candidate at the present.

Bless his heart, he is an earnest little thing.

Too many democrats running. Beto got lost in the crowd.

He's weird and inauthentic

VERY disappointed with his response to her questions about foreign policy. She specifically asked him what she thought Pompeo was up to, pin balling around Europe, and if this is a precursor to action against Iran. He gave her talking points about everything but.

I like him, but.....

He did not do well. It was borderline embarrassing.

Halting, stammering responses. Pete seemed far more presidential and made him look out of his depth.

Is it too late for him to run for Cornyn's Senate seat?

He did better than Trump.

He really is a humanitarian running among politicians.

Unique even in how he relates his message to others. While Biden and Kamala narrow and focus their international policies towards Europe, Beto clearly focuses more in Latin America which flatfooted Rachel. She was not prepared to asked him about politics in South American countries which Beto has clearly studied well coming from a border city.

He would be an [bold]excellent[/bold] US embassador to the UN. My god, he is made for the UN. Whoever wins the presidency needs to put him there.

[quote] Is it too late for him to run for Cornyn's Senate seat?

Ted Cruz is hated in Texas, Cornyn isn't hated, if Beto couldn't beat Cruz then he isn't going to beat Cornyn and Beto knows it.

Can Beto beat Trump? That's all I care about.

[quote]Is it too late for him to run for Cornyn's Senate seat?

I think the DNC is waiting for how things pan out after the first debate (June) before it starts telling people to drop out and run for congress or governorships instead. I think both Pete and Beto might fall into the latter.

[quote]Ted Cruz is hated in Texas, Cornyn isn't hated

Cruz is more popular in Texas than Trump himself, Cruz was the most popular Republican in Texas in. Beto would have an even bigger shot to win the Senate seat in 2020.

A female Democrat is already running against Cornyn in Texas.

Beto lost it when he decided not to challenge the Senate election after it was proven that the machines were changing votes from him to Cruz....and it was verified by the election board. He just let it go and walked away.

FF R13

No one should be praised that much on PeteLounge. Bye Felicia!!

How are his hands? He needs to drop the jazz hands unless of course he wants to do six weeks as Roxie this summer in "Chicago."

Tonight he was holding the edge of Rachel's desk for dear life while you could see the restless leg syndrome went unchecked.

Maybe he forgot to go pee before going on set

Damn. The ONE Texas Democrat I like as much as Beto, maybe even more, is running against Cornyn in 2020. Julian may run too.

I love the idea of Beto at the UN.

He needs to take several seats. With the exception of GWB most presidents, including Trump, have hustled to make something of themselves, Beto is a former skateboarder that had parents or parent in law push him towards success. Between him and Pete, I'll go with the guy with executive experience, military service, and an excelent education. Beto should run for DNC chair when that opens up again.

There is a place for him but the WH ain't it.

r13 he knows about Latin America, that's great, but our threat is from beyond our waters at the moment and in the WH. There a ton of career diplomats and staff in the State Department that should be sent to the UN over Beto.

He gets people motivated, why not start him someplace like the Chairman of the DNC? UN is not a job for slackers or people unprepared for even softball questions from a friendly news agency.

Beto is an unorganized mess. Any Democrat should keep him out of their administration.

Unimpressive in debates. A dilettante who should not have responded to losing a statewide race by running for president.

Such a lightweight.

The Bernos have arrived. He was refreshing in Rachel Maddow. Beto is definitely using his 2018 Senate run as a springboard. I hope he is given a position at the DNC or UN and later runs for the Texas governorship in 2022.

As it is now, he is a clear frontrunner for Vice President.

Beto lost a major Texas Senate race to the one Republican all Republicans despise and then he thinks he should run for president?

Ego personified. He'll be one of the first to drop out.

[quote]Senate race to the one Republican all Republicans despise

Cruz was coming off fro a runner-up place in the Republican primaries and was the most popular Republican politician in Texas in the 2018 midterm elections. Add to that that there were serious question about the legality of the election results.

R31 Then Beto's ego shouldn't have challenged him. Cruz is a douchebag.

I can’t stand his stupid nickname. He was still shamelessly begging for money when he already knew he’d lost the senate.

In my 1970s grade-school days, we would have called him a spazz. He is twitchy and comes across as inauthentic. He may be sincere, but he seems too aware of trying to sell it, rather than just being it. I liked him when he was running against Cruz, but now he seems like he's [insert cliche of choice*].

*all sizzle and no steak *an empty suit *a dog that don't hunt *flamed out already

We need a statesman (or woman). Not sure who that is yet, but it ain't Beto or Bernie. Biden is old, but he looks pretty vital compared to Orange Shitler. However, no matter what, I'll be voting blue.

At least 20 of the 22 Democrats are either unqualified or have zero chance of winning including Beto, Booker, Amy, Warren, the blond chick, Castro, Kamala, etc. Biden will fuck it up. It pains me, but Pete has no chance either. Bernie had his chance and lost it. The other candidates I didn’t mention aren’t worth mentioning.

Voting for Beto

Voting for Pete!

Why r35? Do you want to get into his pants or are we missing some leadership quality that makes him unique for this cycle?

R38 the real odds are against all of these candidates. My horse in the race right now is Steve Bullock. He can challenge Trump in Red State and he's socially liberal.

I want to win! I can't stand Trump!

Hey Beto bashers, Pete has no chance either; you think this country will vote for a gay man and his HUSBAND to be in the White House?

LOL! Don't count on it.

R40 DL is in Pete fantasy land.

#PeteForAmerica #Pete2020 #MakeAmericaSmartAgain

Beto's 2.0 has already crashed and burned. The dude's running out of something to do.

I'm not voting for either Beto or Pete in the primary.

But saying we shouldn't make Pete the nominee because he's gay but we should support Beto because he's hot and straight is pretty close to the dictionary definition of homophobia and gay self loathing.

You Beto people aren't really helping your case.

Doesn't seem it generated much interest.

MSNBC primetime host Rachel Maddow brought in her worst weekly ratings of the year last week.

Her show last week averaged 2,324,000 viewers, with an average audience of 337,000 in the 25-54 age demographic, both of which mark yearly lows according to Nielsen Media Research.

Doesn't he have advisers? Is there no one there to say don't get your ear hair cut online?

No, he’s too arrogant for advisers.
