    Yes and no. I’m all for examining and critiquing Beto’s record, and the word “war” is too much, but it has bled over into something else. And I’m not in th CAP wing and some of it irks me.https://twitter.com/lwoodhouse/status/1077246728527462400 …

    But that's the thing: this entire allegation of a "war" on Beto came from a simple examination of his voting record. The CAP wing of the party sees the two as one and the same.

        It’s not an “attack” if it’s accurate. Facts are facts, even after Trump. Let’s evaluate candidates based on their records, not their star power.

        Love Bernie but he had no issue smearing Hilary in the primaries I’m sure he’ll have no issue smearing Beto. Last time he won my vote with this tactic and in my own opinion ultimately helped Trump get elected. I hope this time the message is ANY OF US IS BETTER THAN TRUMP! Lol

        That exact message is the reason why Trump won. Dems need to offer an actual alternative to the Rep platform. If not, Dems will continue to lose. The fact that the CAP wing is even a thing shows how both parties are actually just ONE party. The US is a ONE party state. Ugh.

        Dems flipped 40 seats in 2018, so I doubt that having a diverse set of democratic voices and ideas is going to lead us to "continue to lose"

        It wasn’t even a Net Gain. If anything all it served to do was to put Pelosi back on as Speaker. She belongs to the CAP wing of the Dem party. She doesn’t offer a “resistance” to Trumps policies, instead she offers complicity, instead of full PRyan support. Same coin, diff sides.

        Beto voted for a deregulatory bill with Republicans that makes it easier to discriminate against African Americans on car loans. He caved in on the omnibus bill without DACA before the rest of the party. These are important positions that should be called out respectfully.

        My thing is why are we even talking about this guy like he's a frontrunner? The national media is creating this "War" to try and get attention on him. He's not on Bernie's level and no matter how hard they try, he never will be. He himself even questioned being a Progressive.

        I think many Bernie folks, myself included, harbor resentments against the Dem establishment, which used (and still uses!) power politics and propaganda against him, and won’t be swiftboated with this madeup “attack” propaganda on Beto, so are pushing back, hard. Understandable.

        my dude what exactly about beto do you like other than “he seems like a nice guy.” his record is not progressive so if you’re telling me that personality is enough to substitute policy/politics then that’s how you get a second trump term.

        We all know that once a dem candidate gets the front runner label they will get huge advantages from the DNC. Therefore early vetting is important.

        You and Howard Dean are selling the same talking point. Howard is obviously selling that talking point from the moneyed intrest side of the party. I just can't figure out why you are on this hill he's done nothing but a single decent speech and lost to Cruz.

        Beto should run. His views are important to the hopeful "regime change" in the Democratic Party. But, he will not be nominated and odds are, he'd lose, even if he was nominated...

        Come on, Shaun. There are power players who pay bots to go after Bernie and progressives & push narratives in the press and then turn around and whine about scrutinizing their choice candidates as being “mean” and “waging war.” You can’t really be falling for this.
