This is what El Paso Texas is about. Nice people, good values and safest city! I love my city and our future Senator Beto!!!!!
Looking for a retirement place....from New York state. Sounds lovely there.
kymjeff lol its hot as fuck in the summers but winters are good plus we have khalid
Damn, he's motivated and enthusiastic, and I've never seen a politician like that
He has yet to be broken
Here's hope that doesn't happen anytime soon. People need guys and women like him to run. Motivated, outspoken, eager to serve and free of corporate shit
Uh Obama was just so uninspiring....? We’re you 6 in 2008?
Bernie was better
He is young,about time the country gives oportunity to other generations.
And he still lost to Cruz 😂
Fuck Cruz
Cruz will be reelected
I voted for Beto! I met him two years ago at a supermarket, he is so smart and charismatic, yet humble... I'm sure he will be the next Obama!!!
Please don't say that! Beto is a TRUE progressive don't curse his future with a legacy as a milquetoast centrist.
@Tony Hargrove...Obama is progressive but any Democratic POTUS would be stymied by stonewalling of the GOP Congress. In summer of 2012, during the re-election campaign, Mitch McConnell stood in the Capitol Rotunda, on national TV, and pledged the rest of his career to the failure of Obama's Presidency. Nuf said? If O'Rourke or anyone else faces that kind of opposition, they'll do no better than Obama, if as good.
I hope so !!
That's what I thought too! They're both so articulate and intelligent while also seeming very humble and to actually care about improving things
Laura j a war Criminal...let's hope not
YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT I HATE TED CRUZ!!!
Bob Dole 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😀
I hate Hitler,,,,,so I'm going to vote for Stalin.......This guy is a Socialist.
Bob Dole 😂! I don't live in Texas and l can't stand Ted Cruz. He looks like he is always constipated.🤣!
I live in Florida but I need this man to win so he can run for President
Bro his fam has the bombast yola. Make your face go numb with one taste.
If Beto wins, perhaps that will energize other intelligent, principled people to run in southern states. He shows great strength of communication, unlike the GOP which specializes in cover-ups.
@@yootoob2193 Cruz
Ted Cruz, all the way.
This man is a moron. More so than Cruz, and I live in Texas.
I like congressman O'rourke. I've lived in El Paso my whole life and i lean conservative,but i really respect O'rourke. He is so involved, and he puts getting stuff done over partisanship which is the main reason i like him, and he is one of my favorite people to meet with because he is just so relatable and likeable.
Bill Diblazin You sound like an unhinged partisan hack. There's no reason an opposing political party should define whether you like a person or not. He did not even say he was voting for him and you jump on him like some psychopath.
thank you, i just said i respect him very much. I'm pretty sure in another comment on another O'rourke video I said that i feared he'd turn texas into california. I am a big believer in conversation and i believe he is to. I went to his town hall in july in el paso and challenged him on guns, healthcare and immigration. but instead of attacking me, he addressed me respectfully and afterwards we talked and he said he respected my civility. He's a good guy, and I respect his philosophy but that doesn't mean I agree with his policy. there's something El Pasoans have in common that changes the way we look at immigration, so that may be why i'm more open to his immigration policy, but that's it.
Andres Carrillo Yep that's exactly it. Someone can disagree with O'Rourke on his policy stances but he seems like a decent, respectful person. And he actually got off his ass and traveled all over Texas to talk to people / hear their concerns, which is more than can be said for most candidates.
texan democrats are even stupider than real ones, real Texans won't let this puppet win
Fox News has washed your brain clear out of your head.
Damn he didn't mess up one word!
I've never seen him caught napping. That's what happens when you're honest, say what you believe, and don't BS people.
Kaminoan Midgaurdian You definetly messed up some words!
Kaminoan Midgaurdian But I know what you mean, I've had to turn into a youtube dependent mechanic stacking bricks and tires to lift my car up to work on it! Saved $1500 so far ;) ;).
- It's for names ending in berto
- so you're Irish?
😂
and what are you? a Republican Racist???
Last name is O'Rourke duh.
O'Rourke makes a good impression. I'll have to check the polls and maybe send some $$ to his campaign. (US citizen living abroad)
I'm not even from Texas and I've sent money to his campaign, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Me too. I sent a campaign contribution. I would vote for him if I could, but I’m a Florida resident.
porcospino289 Watching from NZ and Beto rocks! I’ve been heavily watching US politics since your 2016 run ups and election and I’ve NEVER liked Mr Cruz. He seems to me a very shifty and weak fellow, not a back bone in him 🙄. He just regurgitates part line, PAC donors wishes granted and not an original though in that mans head. I will be cheering from over here in NZ come November if Beto gets the gig. I can’t donate, not a citizen but I would if I could 😢
*This* is the kind of candidates the Democratic party needs. Relatively young, relatable, progressive, willing to take a stand against the corrupting influence of money on our elections. More like him, please.
Wait, wasn't that what we thought Obama was ten years ago?
@@mistercool3859 we're better off thanks to Obama.
Yep, and that's why Hillary won the election, right?
MisterCool She lost because she was the exact opposite of Beto O'Rourke. If she was actually against corporate bribery she would have almost certainly won. Obama spent his political capital on healthcare, and his Senate supermajority was so tight that the corporate Democrats there would sink any campaign finance reform, if the conservative Supreme Court wouldn't have ruled against it regardless, so early in Obama's term.
No she lost because she campaigned on following the same policies of the hope and change candidate that was Obama. Many people didn't want that. Trump offered a New Deal which was enough to win the electoral college and thus the Presidency. That is why 6 states that were blue for Obama turned red in the 2016 Election.
It’s not blue or red, it’s that he cares about us Texans and I will support him till my last breath
WELL YOUR A MORON THEN.
Why should we use our money to pay for other people's Health Care? That's called Social Security and everybody knows that's failing. But let's try it again. That's the true definition of insanity. Why should people get paid more money when they choose to work "high school" jobs. Save your money, go to college, get a better job. That's what America's about. Not handouts
@Mark Rogers that was funny
Well sweetheart, I'm afraid Darwin has some bad news for you.
Lol. Except when he was kicking Latinos out of their homes using Eminent domain. Derp
I am from Dallas and his signs are everywhere! They read BETO Lol I am not into politics but it's funny to see who beto is now.
Please vote
I'm asking as a fellow American and veteran
@@davidcarbon9771 Thank you for your brave service to our country for your fellow Americans!!
Jason J Please, go vote. Registration is easy and everyone should want to do their part
Yes from down south Houston Texas and u see vote for Beto signs everywhere. Proud to vote for Beto in November.✌️🇨🇱 🌊
You had me at "He's running against Ted Cruz." That's all I needed.
Lmao... sweet!!!
Heard that
Well that makes you very similiar to most on the left lol the person doesn't need a substantive arguement they just need to be on the left
@Donald Trump if you call acting like a preacher half the time and strawmanning the other half "mopping the floor with his face" then sure
i could give you an example of cruz appealing to emotion for everyone you give me of beto, ted argued against nobody for half the time, because he made up a version of beto to tear down that didnt even exist
I had the chance to speak to him after a town hall at my high school my senior year, he was kind and allowed me to quote him for 2 of my articles that week.
I'm a native Texan living in California. I've donated money to Mr. O'Rourke's campaign. He makes me proud to be from Texas.
Then why are you in California, buddy?
+lost gamer Maybe Ken Campbell is only specifically proud of being *from* Texas. If he were in Texas he couldn't say he was from Texas, so he had to leave.
You must have a lot of money why would you give any person money to run for any office,..you're DUMB for doing so.
What is the most annoying is that people don't even realize that the facts are that the cops do not shoot unarmed black men at an appalling rate. Beto is spreading false information and propaganda. In 2017 30 unarmed white men were shot by police and 20 unarmed black men.
www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2017/
Emily Helgeson you're not factoring in the demographics. If whites make up ~62% of the population and blacks only make up ~12%, that's a significant disparity.
damn, Bill pressed him quite hard. lol.
But Beto's answers were good. Go beat that slime bag Cruz.
Archie's Gaming In a demonstrably tainted nomination process where superdelegates immediately began throwing their weight behind Clinton.
Do you have evidence that either would have done that in an untainted election process?
This interview has not aged well.
I live in NC but I wish I could vote for this guy.
I'm in Texas telling everybody who'll listen. Wish us luck (and a high voter turn-out)!
texan democrats are even stupider than real ones
No PAC $, really? He has Got to win this one!!!!! More than Ted Cruz in donations without any $ from PACs!
@Mane Event
Shut up sheep.
My 41st birthday is Nov. 6th... And I'll be excited, now for TWO reasons!
This Texas liberal is going Blue!!
Same! November 6th b-day here and a Texan. I'm gonna vote and eat cake! lol

Getting money out of politics is the most pressing issue the country faces. It is linked to all problems that, right now, seem unresolvable, because politicians have been numbed by donor money. Support this man
Laurent D'Hondt I totally agree. Money is the core problem in this country right now. It has to be eliminated. If not, then we all make a pact to only vote for candidates who are self funded. Voting for candidates who take pact money=no vote.
So you can buy a politician but a company representing its interests and hence its employees jobs cant. Makes sense. Democracy is mob rule and mobs burn everything down.
Yeah, we need something like England, where running for politics only lasts a few weeks.
Senators and Representatives spend more time campaigning than actually doing shit.
+Tylr ??? they thought otherwise in 1776 - then they had the rule of a monarch (and a British parliament that represented money, trade, landlords, and aristocracy). In the new American Republic around 40,000 white males with at least some property had the right to vote. So it was by no means a democracy.
But the PEOPLE over time demanded more participation. They were the ones how had to fight and die in the Independence War after all.
The more modern idea: every adult gets ONE vote. The regular people are as foolish, ideological and selfish as the former monarchs, ruling feudal overlords, artistocrats or the 1 % in the former colonies in 1776.
But there is something like swarm intelligence - and the selfish interests of all are taken into account and weighed against each other. We still have very rich people, they are a minority (the 9,99 % according to the Atlantic: The New American aristocracy).
The majority has NOT OPPRESSED the rich and wealthy. But in human history it was always the other way round (and is the case right now as well despite having democracy in a formal sense, the rich have way too much influence because money has undue influence in elections).
The interests of the companies are NOT per se more important, the economy does not only consist of corporations.
The economy has to serve the people not the other way round. Corporations are not natural things, the rule of law allows and protects them.
Corporations act in narrow self interest - but society can rightfully demand that the concept of having corporations at all must serve the the common good.
And the interests of rich people are not more important that all the other (the "mob").
The upper class, the privileged and well educated (= not the mob) do not show more wisdom, foresight or moral fortitude than the rest.
I think if there was a benign, wise leadership to be had, people would chose it (the wise and kind dictator aka absolute monarch) - it never has been availabe, never will be.
So the rule of the mob - hopefully with a lot of accountability - is the next best thing. And an informed electorate. With access to information. The corrupt gatekeepers of mainstream media can be circumvented by the internet.
Ideally when the majority ("mob") rules it makes sure the interest of ALL is considered.
Rich and powerful people are doing just fine, no matter the society they are in. It is the regular people (the little people) that need help against exploitation. That's why Republicans are so against "big, bad government". They represent Big Biz even more than the Democrats and get paid by them (campaign donations, cushy jobs when they leave office).
Sure government _can_ be bureaucratic and corrupt - but it stands between citizens and the RULE of the UPPER CLASS and BIG BIZ.
The rule of the "new aristocracy" (The Atltantic wrote an excellent article about it -search with aristorcray ) - or more accurateely that ONLY THEIR interests count.
Government CAN be made accountable and can be voted out (admitted the party duopoly very much promotes collusion between the parties (both of them) and the Big Money interests.
There is no political competition. Voters have no choice. Where do you go as Conservative if in your state an Evangelical and a Democrat run and you do not find yourself represented by either.
On the other hand corporations ONLY answer to the owners, shareholders. The organizing principle in our economic system is GREED. The HIGHEST PROFIT, the LOWEST PRICE.
If we formulate it more friendly: SELF INTEREST.
Well that means automatically that a corporation can never take the big picture into account - of course not.
Nor will the rule of an elite (monarch, aristocracy, dictatorship) provide more wisdom. They are all fallible humans, and overstep their power and infringe on the freedoms of others if they CAN. W/o accountability there will be corruption for sure.
Yeah, get the money out of politics yet Beto is taking it in from all places and comers, with a large portion coming from out of the state. He’s getting more and spending more than double Cruz is. Clinton’s campaign has $500,000,000 more than Trump’s, as well.
So, after Beto loses, we’ll have yet another example of how the “money out of politics” leftist trope is not only false in who wins elections, but it’s liberals who violate their own beliefs the most.
Oh my God a potential senator that knows Medicare’s overhead! I thought it was just me!!! Yes the federal government runs a single payor healthcare program, it works, and has almost no waste. This is why when people say “government can’t run healthcare” we should all tell them they are full of it. Send this man to the Senate!!!
Matthew Nelson well so far they're have proven they can't run many things except tax cuts for the rich
Two things Beto stated that are not true: 1. that El Paso is a very safe city [referring to crime]; not so. And 2. that Medicare is efficient -- wrong. Medicare does not work, is badly broken, and has nearly killed those right here in Texas by not providing competent medical providers, therefore we have to do without care.
If Congress' Republican Party of No stays in office, that universal Medicare alternative will continue to be obstructed.
About your 2nd point: I don't really know how Medicare is about to work out, since I am not American, but German. What I can tell you about the healthcare system in Germany (and most of Europe) is: It works! I for myself am forced to pay about 90€ (104 $) per month and I mostly don't need it. But in case I break down because of a not diagnosed diabetes or heart condition or anything, those 90€ per month are enough to pay my medical care until I am without any symptoms. Damn, i had a fratured bone four weeks ago and I didn't have to pay anything in the hospital, not even for X-Ray or computer tomography.
So if everyone joins in it will work. Even if you have about 40 Million peoplle joining in it will work for those 40 M people.
Little side effect: My insurance company also pays my workplace the money they lose because I can't work and I still get my salary!
Wow sounds great.
I hear some Bernie Sanders in Beto O'Rourke. He's energetic, informed and sincere.
And a lot of Bobbie Kennedy.
Both fake socialists. Who is William Sanders?? Betos billionaire father in-law.
Michele Oppenberg ????? Sincere but mistaken, if anything.
and theyre both losers
This has to be one of the most refreshing interviews in a very long time. Get out and vote America .... take your country back.
Yess I'm out to get my country back!. Back from you morons

Mr. O'Rourke goes to Washington.
He does look a lot like Jimmy Stewart, doesn't he?
There’s something special about this guy! Vote for him!! I’m from Australia. And even I can tell he’s a jewel!
O’Rourke is making me so proud to be a Texan
He seems to be a politician that your country needs. All the best to him in the election. I hope he wins.
Alan MacLeod please donate to his campaign. His election in Te as an have nationwide implications
He looks heaps like Bevis and Butthead at the same time. Bravo.
"Eh heh heh, heh, heh heh heh"
"Uh, huh huh, huh, huh huh huh"
Napoleon Dynamite...
Hope you win Beto. You're a good man and the financing of your campaign is what all politicians should follow.
Love this guy.
Love you Beto....startin to hear some trash talk on TV, love YOU, for where you stand. Kerrville Tx
He Has the charisma of a Kennedy
I voted for Beto in the primary and I'm voting for him when it counts again! GO BETO!
Jessica Jansen Me too! Let's do it! I'm gonna vote so hard lol.
Me too! And I donated to his campaign.
FUK beto soros candidate !!! your a soros troll idiot !!
Same here. For the first time ever I'm actually exiting about a candidate. Please encourage friends and relatives to go vote for BETO!!!
Vote for Cruz not Beto
"how bad are you gunna feel if you lose to that guy?" - queue audience laughter
Beto didn't lose, He had the Biggest Crowds. Cruz said that He was with Trump to get his help and he did, even when He and Trump had a fight before and Trump insulted Cruz and his Wife really Bad (shame on Cruz!) He "Won" with tramps! I hope Beto wins the Presidency and for Trump and all The Republicans applauding him, to be Fired from the W.H!
@@mariabeltran1690 lol
Texas please, please vote for this man.
Please, PLEASE!!
joe zanella vote for this guy give him a chance the way you give it to trump who hasn't done nothing for us and like trump said WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOOSE!
No thanks
Your an idiot for voting for this socialist. He will take what little we have left.
We are gonna try!! VOTE FOR BETO!!!!!
I love how he stays on policy and not personality. In different interviews i have seen they try to get him to attack Cruz but he sidesteps and focuses on policy and representing people.
Good observation
Cruz does that toxic attack type of methodology. This guy isn't going to sink to that level. Ive seen a lot of shitty politicians not sink to that level, pretty bad when a prominent republican still does attack ads.
gregory boulware
We can only hope.
@@cathiehardy5819 what's cannoli hope?
Good observation. He treats his opponent respectfully and doesn't seem to take the bait when people offer him the opportunity to say bad things about Cruz. He stays on point and I know his message as he relays it clearly.
Chris your closing passionate comments are highly appreciated . 3rd generation American here. Mom from Mexico 1st generation, dad 2 generation and military veteran. Kids public school education. Myself a computer programmer. Sister college professor, younger sister lawyer. Brother owns a very successful construction company. The American dream....
Right On Beto! The tip of the state awaits.
+Luis Ortega Yes, shoved in right in front of the enormous dong Cruz is going to eat this election if people turn out enough
I am an Illinois resident and last week I bought a Beto T-shirt. It is my way of throwing some money, some name recognition and a little karma Beto's way. He just seems like a common sense candidate. Do the same, wherever you are - buy a shirt and let's get behind a cool guy.
I've sent money to campaigns in other states, too. From a Texan who's sick of being told my state is "red" when I know the "red" team has gerrymandered the state to steal elections, thank you so much for the support. I would've voted for anyone other than Cruz, but I'm so excited that we've got somebody who's worth voting *for* completely without regard to who he's running *against*.
Matthew Halpin where’d you get your shirt? I am buying one for everyone I know!
We Texans thank you!
Yes, where can I get one?
Mane Event, remember this: to sit and do nothing is to condemn our Children and our Grandchildren to a World of pain and desolation. I am not a Democrate nor Republican.
He should run for President in 2020. Very charismatic and optimistic. He can unite young and old, urban and rural.
Absolutely, he spent more money than any senate candidate in history, was the absolute best punch democrats could throw in Texas, running against a not very popular or likable incumbent. AND HE LOST. You proggies are stupid.
Beto is showing why El Paso is a good city. I've already voted for him in primary.
I did too :-)
Me 3!
jag10 better put some respect on our name bitch
Does your mom know you're gay?
Cristal Spradling good
Yes I’m a proud democrat from El Paso fuck yeah sorry I’m emotional
Nicole Torres I grew up in El paso. Went to San elizario :)
Nicole Torres you go girl - make the rest of your nation (and global citizens) proud
Beto for President 2020!! You have our votes in Minnesota!!
Sold me. This guy should run for Prez someday regardless of the Senate race outcome.
Absolutely.
LOL. Every time someone is on TV and seems smart and charming, people say, "THIS PERSON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!" I like Beto. A lot. But try to think critically. This is how we get Trump.
He has a presidential vibe, i'd be surprised if he isnt president one day.
He will need one of three things to run for President. Beating out Cruz and winning a Senate seat, unseating Abbott as Governor of Texas, Or a prominent seat in a Dem’s cabinet. I’m going to do my part and vote for the first time for Beto this November
I like him. He's like a Kennedy throwback.
When l first saw him l thought he was a Kennedy. "Go Beto"
he may remind u of Kennedy by his looks but he is NOT a Kennedy = pray for brains moron
It feels so good to hear a politician speak so eloquently and with a lot of sense and willingness to contribute to the masses rather than the otherwise ...my vote is with this guy :)
i live in texas and i know all my neighbours and myself are voting against republican antiquated ideas
That's fantastic! I don't think that Texas would regret voting for this dude! He's Just what is needed !
God bless you & your fellow neighbours #BETO2018 #BETOFORUSSENATE2018 #BLUETEXAS
Keep speaking to friends and family this guy will represent Texas better than Mr Cruz who would let a man disrespect his wife then ask him to campaign on his behalf
This is true. I'm a conservative and me & all of my friends are voting & campaigning for Beto. Cruz is jus horrible.
El Paso, Texas! 💗

Yes Me Too! EL Paso in the House!
The Prodigal Knight the only county he will win in West Texas.
I’m from Texas and I will vote for him, finally it’s so refreshing to see a politician that cares about the people he wants to serve
He wants to gain total control by deciding to spend the citizens money so he can increase suffering and therefore increase the need for more government control/programs
@@elli003 at least he's doin somethin instead of Lyin' Ted.
@@Chadronius What did Ted lie about ? Do you really remember ?
but he lost?
Talk is cheap. His record sure doesn’t show that. Typical politician

He's getting millions in donations from out of state donors, especially California.
eyeball
Yes! From citizens who want a better country. NOT from corporations.
Except he's backed by none other than George Soros,, a well known nazi collaborator.
@@lehrerayne you're backed by Trump a known Nazi sympathizer
I'll be voting for him! And regarding George Soros: snopes.com/fact-check/george-soros-ss-nazi-germany/
Beto has always been on he side of the people i grew up in the county next to El Paso and he was always standing up for local businesses and civil rights. He really represents the middle class and stands by his beliefs no matter the pressure like on higher minimum wages
Be to is my neighbor in the Sunset Height area. He is a down to earth man. Very well loved in El Paso.
You know he's down to earth because he rides a skateboard.....
Man I hope he beats Cruz
helloohhi nothing says "superb" like throwing DREAMERs under the bus
Probably not, as Texas is, despite the state priding itself on its culture of independence, more conservative leaning than it is liberal. Most Texans don't like any gun regulations and pro-choice activism, two things that O'Rourke supports. In addition, The Establishment might not like Ted Cruz, but Texans here love him. We also saw in the primary that Ted Cruz got more votes alone than the Texan voters that voted any of the Democratic candidates. Here's hoping that Texas elects O'Rourke, but I highly doubt it.
Oh yeah, I hope O'Rourke beats the Zodiac. But tbf the chances are not that good.
Hope Ted wins.
It is increasingly obvious (at least via certain social media discussion) that there are irreconcilable differences between fullthroated Democratic Party loyalists and faithless Democratic Party voters on a litany of policy postions as well as the regard of elected officials. One side has a notion that the other should effectively "fall in-line" and "stop being naive purists". The other believes that the party effectively acts like its "too big to fail" and that the party "needs to wholeheartedly represent the people and not be corrupt". In the court of law, irreconcilable differences are grounds for a divorce and I believe that is what the current division within the party merits. IMHO I feel that an effective way to do this is to take advantage of the unpopularity of DJT and the likely, yet not permanent, overthrow of the GOP in state legislatures, governors' mansions, Congress and the Oval Office between 2018 and 2020. Before power is likely obtained in these branches of government, a clear, executable plan needs to be agreed upon by all candidates and elected Dems in order to enact the divorce process.
This can be done via Comprehensive Election Reform. This will include but may not be limited to anti-gerrymandering laws, anti voter suppression laws, voter empowerment actions (expanding election day, no excuse absentee/early voting, same day registration, mandatory-ish voting), open/hybrid state run primaries, campaign finance reform (public finance of elections, "get money out of politics") and electoral college review & reform. However most important to the divorce process, federal and state ranked choice voting need to be implemented. This will nullify the "spoiler effect" lamented by many of those against third-party voting. Furthermore, the Commission on Presidential Debates and other debate/town hall/forum regulating bodies must immediately allow at least Green Party and Libertarian Party candidates on the debate stage. Also, rules must be put into place that make getting onto the debate stage and ballot easier for all hard-working candidates.
In order to receive the immediate party unity that apparently held in such high esteem, it is strongly encouraged that all candidates and elected Dems agree to this Comprehensive Election Reform Pact. Failure to agree could result in consequences (for Dem party) similar to the elections between 2010 and 2016 on all levels of government. Since nothing in this reform is abhorrently objectionable in nature, it should behoove wholesale, fullthroated agreement. Once in power (respectively for each level of government), this Comprehensive Election Reform agenda must be signed into law and executed upon within the first 100 days in power for that branch of government.

Why? so he can make deals with Iran...maybe drop boatloads of money to Venezuela this time before even making a deal. Or maybe your free obama phone stopped working.

I will vote for him
Nawal you are an invader and your vote is illegal. You are not an American and need to leave our country
Cool story
Another NPC !
I sure won't. He talks too much and says nothing. So what he raised so much money. We dont want your liberal policies!
What good were you?
HE LOST!! 😂
Cannot wait to vote for Beto
Convince your friends and family to do so too!
My friends and family will be voting for Cruz!
He gives me chills. I feel proud to be an American again.
on top of having better policies and ideas than Cruz, Beto doesn't make me want to punch him every time he smiles.
EXACTLY!!!!
What a waste if people hear this guy and still go vote for lying Ted.
I know.
He's already won. He's a Texan for sure.
Locura The problem is that such people never listens.
The problem is the people who vote republican. They dont do it out of logic they do it out of a mixture of racism, fear for their guns, and because their fathers told them to do as a kid. Anybody else of course compares the two and thats it.
I think if you watch statistics you will see there is a fluctuating number of people voting for democrats or not, but the republican number stays the about the same. A democrat winning is mostly a thing of how much to encourage to vote
Unless you don't want Texas to be like California, which clearly this guy wants to have happen.
Don’t call yourself Beto, you’re a politician, your name is robert. Thank you next
If this gentleman can win in Texas, there is little that can stop him. He can bring respect back to the Democrat Party and sever its corporate reins. He is the perfect successor to Bernie Sanders. I hope he sticks to his principles and goes far.
You said it. O'Rouke is a much better replacement for Bernie Sanders because I think he is smart enough not to sell out the people who support him like Bernie did when he found out Hillary Clinton sabotage his campaign and then climbed onboard her bandwagon. Yes, the real indicator of his worth will definitely be if he can manage to stick to his principles after he wins election and resist the temptations to sell out the people he represents to big business and the wealthy. If he can do that, he will make an excellent candidate for president one day.
LMAO, respect,blue fucktards have been twisting the system to long,you probably voted for Hillary,you know she's so pure,hmm
what made you even think that was a chance?
I've had good experience with Beto with VA related issues.
Congratulations Bill, you just interviewed a future POTUS.
Andres I Over my dead body will this loser become POTUS!
@@gmilla2825 #RIP #GoneHomeToGlory
Why because the media is choking on his cock right now? Grooming their next Commie to anal rape the country.
Andres I Nah, he’s gonna get easily defeated , by #Bernie2020, because he’s a centrist deep down inside, and that explains why he lost.
Andres I but he lost?
Beto O’Rourke will definitely beat that guy that everyone hates
I hope so, but it's going to take a LOT of leg work.
Well spoken and unapologetic to be a progressive demarcate. Finally, a little more hope for Texas. And the more green energy jobs topping carbon jobs is also more hope for TX.
M M i don't think it tops our oil and gas industry it just tops other states.
He said in the video that green energy is creating more jobs in Texas than fossil fuels are. Not compared to other states. Feel free to do some Google searches and fact check that if you don't believe it, but he said quite clearly that he was talking in Texas.
Green jobs without subsidies? Yeah right. Go look around and youl see those wind farms ONLY pop up in 1 county thats given it huge subsidies, usually off the oil taxes they bring in. Not that i blame them for trying.
He should be........you guys stop hiding behind the word progressive!!! He is a Socialist!!!!! Democrat's are the Socialist Party now. Stop with the lies. You talk like your a moderate Republican then when you get elected you throw yourseles in the socialist hat. With all the other RATS in Washington. TEXANS WILL NOT BE FOOLED.
every time he speaks he manages to leave me with this powerful impression of just what an honest, genuine and grounded person he is. plus ted cruz is basically a real life chuckie doll.
Makes me proud to be born and bred in El Paso. Texas, let's get out in November and VOTE! It's time to send Ted Cruz back to Canada.
Edward Patrick Molina we don’t want him back...sorry about that by the way.
Vote for Beto he is amazing but you can keep Cruz Canada does not want him or any conservative
I'm voting for this young man. I usually vote Republican but I did not vote for Trump
you're a frickin liar
So you voted for Hillary then.
So?
You're worse.
Wow, most Texan's want more of border security then a fence, did you move here from Californification land? GTFO DH
I feel Beto is probably the first guy l've seen in a while who is willing to fight not just for a particular group of people such as Dems or Reps, but for what Texas needs.
He looks like Robert Kennedy, which can't hurt.
John Matthias Robert was the best Kennedy
John Matthias and his name is Robert Francis, and Bobby Kennedy’s name was also Robert Francis.
Kay Muldoon mind blowing
I wonder if Beto is the reincarnation of Bobby. Lol could be, actually, as Bobby died in 1968 and Beto was born in 1972.
Well I believe O'Rourke's parents were progressives too, so it might not be an accident.
Our next POTUS! BETO 2020!
BETo for POTUS 2020🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'd be open to that. Or be another candidate's running mate.
BERNIE / AVENATTI 2020 BERNIE / AVENATTI 2024 AVENATTI / BETO 2028 AVENATTI / BETO 2032 BETO / ? 2036 BETO / ? 2040
Short term we need some serious fighters in the White House and *TEXAS NEEDS BETO!*
Texas used to be an independent republic and it's in serious need of reform from within. Beto will be an amazing instrument of change before taking that energy national.
Don't mess with Texas, it's already messed up enough (but Texas BBQ is the best food in the world and Austin's music scene is outstanding!)
We need more leaders like O'Rourke in this country
You got that right! 💪🏼
The GOP put out an old punk rock pic of Beto looking like a fly Jesus and thought it would hurt him. LOL! #backfire #flyjesus #beautoandthebeast
Cynrhia Scott It's so hilarious & ironic - they are one sorry bunch of campaign planners! 🤣
a gerrymandered district in PA just elected a dem. Blue wave is happening
kimberly s voter fraud, illegals and dead people voting democrat
i do remember when i went to vote for hillary, there we ghostly apparitions voting too. it was crazy. i though it this real life?
kimberly s you know what i meant. Still, my favourite part of all this is that Hilary doesn't have a ghost of a chance to become president. 😌
of course not. she had a law school education, political experience, and didn't collude with the russians!
kimberly s oh she does have law experience, when she was a lawyer she got a child rapist off a guilty charge with the defense that the little girl enjoyed fantasizing with older men and remarked afterwards how happy she was about it. She also kills people who threaten her political aspirations like Seth Rich who was a DNC staffer. And lastly, Russian collusion is a politically motivated conspiracy theory.
🔹This is just the beginning, the fight is not over. We are just testings the waters. Now Beto for President 🇺🇸 #Beto2020 lets make this go viral!
You need accomplishments to run for president.
@@hominem3731
Barack Hussein Obama. Not so much these days.
for the love of god please make this man president
That was a near perfect interview for Beto, I did vote him and support his views and position.
antonio avvocato I’m sure anybody could sell you anything
Gullible
you support open borders?
NJ Urban Angler of course- a simple lying speech and he would sell his soul
Eastwestmommy im just always amazed by the stupidity of the left
He legit wanted to send police into peoples houses to take their guns
This guy really wants to make things better I'm a Texan I'm so votting for him
Beto will either be senator from TX or governor of TX in the not too distant future.
Ha you wish.
This dude might be better off running for president
&one no Texas needs him first. if he does a good job, maybe it will make TX a swing state. wouldn't that be a better long term strategy. then he can run for president
President of California maybe. This liberal twirp will never represent Texas.
It's not unusual to be a douche like Ted cruz. It's not unusual to be left behind by everyone
@&one, he is running for president already...via the US Senate.
Tom Jones He currently represents Texas in The House of Representatives..
Did.. Did you not know he's already in Congress as a representative of Texas? Lmao.
I will say it again
I am not a democrat
I do not live in texas
But if beto lose
I hope he run for president
This guy is the real deal
This guy is just a senator and is already smarter than the president.
That is the understatement of the century! Like saying that Neil DeGrasse Tyson is smarter than a microcephalic!
He's not a Senator yet. He has to be elected first
literally everyone on this planet is smarter than the president.
My rat too
He's in the house
Mark my words whether he beats Ted Cruz or not, this man will be the President one day
Love to see this guy run for POTUS
It's happening! Hope you're still on board!
Yayyy a fellow Texan who’s not a bigot!
Most aren't, I think. Not naturally, anyway. There's the people from diverse communities who grew up with the frontier mindset of helping other people, regardless of race or background. Most people in the Western half, and many in the eastern half of the state come from that sort of thing. The biggest problem is the communities that are predominately white. They still have that helping others mindset, but most have never met or spent any length of time with someone of another race or background, and thus fall prey to thinking in terms of stereotypes. Politicians like Cruz exploit this lack of knowledge and sow fear of the types of people these small town folks have never met, thus perpetuating the bigotry.
There are, of course, actual bigots out there who hold their stereotypes up as fact even in the face of actual truth, but for the most part it's pure ignorance.
He needs to be running for President.
I'll tell you..... I'm not from Texas, but this guy is awesome. I would absolutely love to see him as our next President.
I'm a libertarian but this man has my vote.
thegooseman How could a libertarian line up with his views at all?
@@miniontemple He's against small government but I agree on some of his progressive issues. And I despise Ted Cruz as a human.
@@miniontemple well...Ted Cruz have no views !!! ...nobody likes Ted Cruz ...
Then youre not a Libertarian, youre a Communist if you support universal health care.
Nice try, you’re a shareblue employee. Libertarians aren’t dumb enough to fall for your bullshit lies.
He got our votes last week and will in Nov. Go Beto Go!!!!!
Beto is absolutely amazing. I truly hope Texas votes in their own self interest and elects him. I'm voting for Beto!
He's a lot like Bernie, actually. All for living wages and universal healthcare, doesn't accept a dime from PAC's. We need more senators like them.
But money from George Soros is ok?
What's your point?
Lol
This is precisely why Bernie flipped so many Republican and swing counties in the primary for his populist, workers first issues that didn't catch on with Hillary's out of touch approach and went for Trump in the end.
He's a smarter, more realistic Bernie
Beto O'Rourke is a badass name. This guy is damn sharp and articulate also. Would be a shame if he lost to a toad like Cruz.
Mane Event his name is not Cruz regardless of your mullet.
It's practically Tobin Snow
Beto for an Irish dude?? He’s a beta... he lies to get Hispanics to like him
Thank you for acknowledging the droughts here in North Texas. Our city had to filter and drink our piss water few years ago...nice that he acknowledges how important advancing environmental technologies are.
Democrats are used to drinking piss.
@Dz Nutz our city was in a drought. We had no rain water. We had to use sewer water... it wss actually so groundbreaking that our little town made many major news networks and we received an award for the innovation. Not your basic freshwater reservoir method...i work for the department that does this and it was a big deal. First city in the nation to recycle their sewer water like this.
Can this guy be my president?
Michael Gutierrez if he wins the senate seat there’s a massive chance he’ll be a top contender for 2024 or 2028
O'Rourke is already 46 this year. Obama was only 47 when he was elected in 2008.
Nope
I believe he will be
lmao
Need more Democrats to stand up and yell if they have to that they are not taking a dime of PAC money. You'd get my vote for sure.
Thank you! Legalized bribery needs to stop!!
Voting for O'Rourke in the primaries felt wonderful! Humans against Cruz!
Oh wow... He won me with doesn't accept corporate bribery! Hell yes
R3drift And those dreamy eyes.
And you believe it Hell yes
He used to be in a punk rock band as a teen with the lead singer of the Mars Volta/At The Drive In. “Cedric Bixler-Zavala”
Brian Wunder DWI charge was also dropped.
@John Berard Got proof?
