      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

          Beto O'Rourke is running for president This contradicts what he promised last year: “I’m not looking at 2020. In fact, I’m completely ruling that out. Not going to do that...Win or lose, I’m not running in 2020...Since people have asked, the answer's no” pic.twitter.com/0fTVFxC9o1

          His wife's father is a billionaire. I'm sure coughing up 6 million would be pretty easy for them.

          I'll accept a loads of improbable ideas this early in the day, but if that road trip wasn't a staged cover for massive organization & fundraising prep in an undisclosed DNC bunker I don't understand this world at all.

          I say it one more time, ”Sarah Palin”. O’rourke is a flawed candidate, its who Hollywood want but unlike Obama, he's already showing weaknesses, with every interview, every speech, he digs down deeper

          If the dem plumb for beto then Trump has already won 2020. He will inspire only the smug hillary base while the MAGA crowd will come out for Trump. Throw in the advantages of a corrupt electoral system and orange man wins a second term.

          Though it def is suspect that "O’Rourke’s aides would not say what their average contribution was or how many total donors contributed within the first 24 hours of his bid."
