      This is why you should not assume “candidate receives a lot of derisive snark on Twitter” automatically means “candidate is unpopular with the wider populace”https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1107605096597078016 …

      I'm not saying the claimed totals are automatically legitimate or don't warrant closer scrutiny (although if the NYT had such concerns, it shouldn't have phrased its top-line tweet this way). Just saying the figures could be reflective of support that is not evident on Twitter

          Also don't think it's necessarily suspect to wait till Monday to announce the numbers. (He announced the campaign on a Thursday.) That's a pretty common tactic to "drive the news cycle." Also, Beto apparently hadn't even hired a campaign manager yet when he announced

          I think it does, by definition it has to. Big Donor Class support is frowned upon in this cycle, so keeping it hush hush would be expected. AND $6.1M strictly from small, mom and pop donations, could only be done very loudly online. There would have to have been massive buzz!

          Relying solely on your social media circle to determine pop sentiment, should be an obvious no-go. When that sentiment, though, relfects what you see everywhere else, including the streets, well, it means a lot more than msm spins and shenanigans.

          You're right. The size of someone's bank account generally isn't evident on Twitter.

          There's a lot of Boomer Prog support for the guy. They have money to invest in his throwback candidacy. This is a good take: Beto O'Rourke https://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=16776 …

          The support is likely mostly coming from big money donors, Crazy to think he had more grassroots support than Bernie.
