you know, the metal festival that ozzy osbourne started, but i guess this is cool too.

It's an incredible opportunity and Beto is at his absolute and most energized when speaking to large crowds.

That's A LOT of people to learn about Beto.

Beto's grassroots spread like Kudzu in rural Alabama and Georgia.

At least 500 showed up to listen to him in the heat and humidity. There was a small crowd who had to stand outside. He was dripping in sweat at the end.

I noticed Shannon from Running with Beto was there near the stage when a woman in the audience got overheated and Beto stopped to make sure she got some cold water.

Castro is at the very bottom of the list in my book

And I didn't see a single positive post about him. There were a lot of remarks about Castro's motivation for things always being self-serving and that when it really counts he has never really been there for Texas, not like Beto has been. His career in Texas is over and he may have hurt his brother as well just because they sometimes get confused with each other.

for a come back from being an underdog. the biggest problem is the media and what they intentionally do , especially jealous types .

but the fact is that Beto is much more appealing than most if not all others. if people just got to see each candidate for themselves they would see that. without ignorant jealous talking heads . the latest was that pig chris christie telling beto to get out . these are the types that the media are going to for comments .

he does need to practice a bit with the debates , but dont overdo it with a goal of winning . mostly focus on just dealing with things like people interrupting him with bs. debates don't matter that much in the long run. Biden did the best in the 2008 debates and Obama didn't stand out much in them. although he didn't do badly so this is what Beto needs to do .

and then focus on where he does well which is pretty much all other events .

He often compared his background to Beto's and mentioned the role of affirmative action in his Stanford & Harvard degrees. It's weird

He and Beto had rallies about a mile apart Friday night. Beto had over twice as many people and stayed for HOURS meeting everyone who wanted to meet him and taking photos. Apparently Castro talked for about 7 minutes, talked with people for about 10 minutes and left. Beto is authentic and in it for the RIGHT reason...for the PEOPLE. You can tell who is in it for the right reason by their behavior.

I met him once, and I was not impressed at all

How they were like the 20th in line and by the time it got to them he was kind of rude and acted like he couldn't be bothered. Then the same person met Beto after about 300 people and he was so nice and friendly. I haven't met either but you can tell a whole lot about a person on video, too.

Texans love him not because of what they saw on TV, but because many have seen him in person and interacted with him during his travels throughout the state. By contrast, Julian Castro is widely seen as a mean, arrogant and entitled character.

He'll be really good here--hopefully it is streamed so those of us not there can hear
