    wow, so a guy who is irish pretending to be latino is okay. fleeing from a dui/accident is okay. 90% of his funds came from outside of the state. there were numerous stories of voter fraud in the state. i see you are setting your standards high
    The only reason I would vote for him is to get him out of TX politics, lol. Even better would be if Hillary was running against him :)

    And this is why you don’t announce your candidacy a year and 11 months out from the election.

    Why does it even matter if x% came from out of state?  That's neither illegal or immoral if they didn't violate campaign finance laws.  And if there was fraud in TX, why is that more Beto's fault than Cruz, or the governor, or the secy' of state?  Geez, I'm not even a Beto fan but if this is the best that the Right has circulating on 4Chan, then Beto is in good shape.

    Yeah it kinda matters. It was a state election, so $ coming from out of state is not great. But that’s what elections have become. 

    Surely you can see that?

    Maybe it's not ideal, but it's in every state.  Making it out like it's a Beto thing is ridiculous.  Do you consider financial support from the DNC out of state money?  What about the RNC?  Because I guarantee they helped Cruz as much as Beto.  

    Come to think of it, I don't give a shit that it's US money from out of state.  These are federal offices.  Are just making up goal posts as we go along?

    If that's true, maybe he could have beat Cruz with more money.

    It’s definitely not ideal and it’s where our politics are today. So I wasn’t saying him getting that $ was bad, it is what it is. But it does highlight the issue with our politics. And perhaps campaign finance reform should really eliminate $ from out of state donors for local or state positions...and being the elected Senator from a State is a state position in the federal government. 

    It just got me thinking about this and it bothers me.

    I don't agree.  When you think about potential candidates, they tend to be older (Biden, Bernie) and/or women.*  I think Beto is the most Obama-like candidate out there.  Fresh face.  Maybe less-than-ideal experience (but that's a good thing since there's less to criticize him on).  Positive.  Energetic. Smart.

    Is he the most qualified?  Maybe not.  But that's never what it's been about.  I think if Mitt Romney was sitting in office for his second term, and "Trump-Derangement Syndrome" wasn't a thing, Beto would still have the same momentum.

    *I don't think a woman can beat Trump.

    So no Hispanics for president?  I can get behind that.  I don't want none of those eye-talians either.  And no fucking pope-lovers either.

    why do people keep running with this "fake mexican" shit? Wasn't he given that nickname by someone else down the line? I don't believe he's ever claimed to be hispanic or anything other than he actually is.

    More so due to the idiots that are voting for him because they think he is (I’ve personally talked to one or two) I don’t think he has ever claimed to be.

    I would personally vote for him for the primaries because of the campaign slogans alone; “Up with Beto, down with Cheeto” and so on, lol
