just Beto's height alone would rattle Trump

Trump would have to wear Melania's shoes to be taller than Beto.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Perhaps the voters are beginning to look at candidates that would be at are past the retirement age TexasTowelie Jun 2019 #1

He has been doing national TV appearances and people are hearing him Indygram Jun 2019 #2

He's also not doing all those embarrassing social media stunts lately. hlthe2b Jun 2019 #5

They weren't actually "stunts" but that's how they were reported Indygram Jun 2019 #7

Maturing as a candidate is to anticipate and not do stupid stunts--a la Michael Dukakis in the tank hlthe2b Jun 2019 #9

His supporters like his livestreams Indygram Jun 2019 #23

I'm hardly criticizing doing interviews with a barber--No more than Dukakis going to a military base hlthe2b Jun 2019 #24

He needs to attract new supporters DesertRat Jun 2019 #32

That's what he's doing... Indygram Jun 2019 #33

"Nobody is taller than ME!" dalton99a Jun 2019 #21

I hate to think what shoes he would wear Indygram Jun 2019 #22

Then again, perhaps not. LanternWaste Jun 2019 #38

From your link: MineralMan Jun 2019 #3

I don't believe that will last Indygram Jun 2019 #4

I see. MineralMan Jun 2019 #6

My OP was about Beto Indygram Jun 2019 #8

Yes, I saw that. And I did start a new thread MineralMan Jun 2019 #11

I didn't mention other candidates either, but did provide a link Indygram Jun 2019 #13

this poll has always been a big outlier in terms of all but Biden and Bernie Celerity Jun 2019 #16

OK. MineralMan Jun 2019 #17

not having a go at you at all MM, I respect you as a poster Celerity Jun 2019 #18

Not a problem. All polls are questionable. MineralMan Jun 2019 #19

The Harris X poll always gets many the non Bernie non Biden peeps in a state of angst, lolol Celerity Jun 2019 #20

Reporters on the ground essadaw Jun 2019 #10

Yes, and anyone watching the livestreams knows he has very strong support Indygram Jun 2019 #14

I hope so Skittles Jun 2019 #28

Polls taken after the first debate customerserviceguy Jun 2019 #25

I don't think him not doing media in and of itself is what had an impact on polls Indygram Jun 2019 #30

You've got to do it all customerserviceguy Jun 2019 #36

I think he always intended to do it all Indygram Jun 2019 #37

Yes, O'Rourke does his listening thing customerserviceguy Jun 2019 #50

Beto has clear Plans that he put together after learning from people impacted Indygram Jun 2019 #55

It's all related, more media gives you more exposure, and marylandblue Jun 2019 #40

Glad to see Warren's continued advancement. Paladin Jun 2019 #29

Looking at the two graphics to compare and analyze shows that in two weeks... Indygram Jun 2019 #31

Beto is the only other Candidate that can get the Biden Voters JI7 Jun 2019 #34

I agree...I would really like to see him go to West Virginia Indygram Jun 2019 #35

It's the fact that Beto is backed by Big Oil & Gas that keeps me from supporting him. I wish it ancianita Jun 2019 #39

Beto doesn't Accept PAC Money essadaw Jun 2019 #41

He's #2 receiver of oil& gas donations. Most of his contributors are in other areas. ancianita Jun 2019 #42

Beto has not accepted ANY PAC Money from oil companies essadaw Jun 2019 #43

You link nothing, so I looked it up. Technically he's received $ through, but not from, a PAC. ancianita Jun 2019 #44

The only "oil and gas" money Beto got was from regular low level employees, like gas station clerks Indygram Jun 2019 #46

That was pushed by a right wing PAC and it's not true Indygram Jun 2019 #45

I know nothing of a right wing PAC push. I got my info from NBC in Texas through AP Fact Check. ancianita Jun 2019 #47

You keep accusing Beto of taking money from oil and gas companies and he doesn't Indygram Jun 2019 #52

You keep accusing me of accusing. I've linked OpenSecrets, that takes info his campaign GIVES ancianita Jun 2019 #56

he is supported by people who work there. just like ny will have a lot of people JI7 Jun 2019 #48

Explain how your analogy parallels a person running for president accepting what OpenSecrets ancianita Jun 2019 #49

When you make a donation to a candidate, you have to list your occupation dflprincess Jun 2019 #53

PACs Are the mechanism for companies to donate essadaw Jun 2019 #54

It's not a concern for me. I never once referred to PAC. Others did. I myself donated directly to ancianita Jun 2019 #57
