(2,113 posts)I honestly find this so astounding to hear people say this. I couldn't be closer to the kind of voter Democrats typically want their candidate to appeal to. I'm a registered Independent moderate voter. I have only volunteered for one prior campaign in my over 50 years. I did that mainly because my friend got me involved. I really liked Obama a lot but not anywhere near as much as I am liking Beto. My health isn't great but when I watch him speak I want to drop everything and go knock on doors and volunteer even though I can't. The guy has this normally unimpressed Independent feeling some kinda way. If Democrats sleep on Beto it will be a massive, massive mistake. I like Biden OK, but I'd rather spend an hour looking at the Obama/Biden memes than stand in line to watch him speak. I'd go see Beto in a heartbeat, though. So there you have it. Beto has the "it" factor and if some could see beyond any given purity test or anxiety over perceived odds at beating Trump they might realize they have a once in a lifetime type of candidate right under their noses.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
