The fact that the DC consulting class and Obama alums chose him over Tracy Abrams, who did better under tougher conditions, is all we need to know about Beto.He says some of the right things but he's just too damn soft and didn't come off as having enough conviction in the debates with Cruz.
BTW, considering that his wife is a Billionaire Heiress makes it difficult for him to be a real progressive. Infact he supported eviction of people so that his father-in-law could demolish apartments to build.
But the background is equally fascinating. Corporate Dems want to make sure Bernie doesn't get nominated. That would sink their donors and with that their income stream. So, they first floated Kamala, when that didn't seem to work out well, they are floating Beto. Its interesting they are not getting behind Biden - do they think he is too damaged and won't win ?
