This was so nice. Beto has done this for other people in the past. Beto is simply a good man

[Gothmog]

29. Agree! I sure wish his campaign would catch fire!

[Sugarcoated]

3. Very sincere and genuine man

I like him a lot

[FM123]

5. Human kindness, we need more of this!

[Beringia]

6. One of the surest marks of a good person is their emotional sincerity

[brer cat]

7. K&R

[Princetonian]

8. Imagine if he were Biden's VP... what a pair they would make. Total opposite to who we have now.

[Pachamama]

13. I have been really pushing for a Harris/Biden or Biden/Harris ticket

I feel so strongly we need a woman on the ticket - I also love Warren...

But watching this - I really like Beto O'Rourke and think he is a good man and has a great future.

Maybe he is best first as Senator from Texas....but I think he would be a good President someday.

[Pachamama]

27. So you don't think he would be a good Senator for Texas?

There is absolutely nothing inappropriate about suggesting this - he would be great and we need the Senate.

[Pachamama]

31. Only one week on DU....

I suggest highly that if you join DU and throw yourself so quickly into the democratic primary discussions, you can engage in conversations and not accuse long time DUers of being "inappropriate"....

There was nothing inappropriate or intended to hurt you. You accused me of something and I merely asking a very sincere question. Your defensiveness and sensitivity on this will be a very difficult process on you.

[Amimnoch]

34. No, he wouldn't this time around.

We already have an excellent candidate running for Senate in MJ Hegar. This is already a longshot because..well..Texas. A contentious primary of 2 strong candidates will make the shot longer, not easier.

Now, Beto on the national ticket in a “Texan vs New Yorker” race + Hegar with her military experience and growing popularity and Texas becomes one hell of an in play battleground state.

[Pachamama]

38. Thanks for answering and giving excellent reasons for why you don't think so

Strangely the newbie who got defensive on that question refused to answer my question and then even tried to alert on me.

[Gothmog]

25. Beto would be a great VP and Texas would clearly be in play for a Biden/Beto ticket

[hurl]

30. Biden would be a great VP again

We need a new direction forward along with a tie to what worked so well before. Texas and many other states could go for that too.

[SouthernProgressive]

9. He is being as sincere as it comes.

It’s my understanding he fosters a couple of phone friendships with people he has met through running. People having a difficult time.

[Gothmog]

15. I just posted that video on this thread

Here is the video

24. Again, this is not the first time that Beto has shown that he is a truly decent person

[ProudMNDemocrat]

10. This is what a President should be doing....

Trump is INCAPABLE if acting in such a way.

Way to go, Beto.

[R B Garr]

12. Wow, that was so touching.

Thanks for posting.

[onecaliberal]

16. This is what we could have. Such a great man.

[bronxiteforever]

18. Kick & recommend. Beto has been so righteous and compassionate.

[titanicdave]

21. ....That Is Something....

....that a REAL MAN does......Beto just proved he is a REAL MAN.....by reaching out to that young man who is obviously in a lot of emotional pain.....to offer he PERSONAL cell phone number and advise the young guy about counseling for him and then to give him two really big hugs is amazing......this is something that ....t-RUMP does not have in his makeup and could not and NEVER would even think about doing.....a big round of applause from our household to Beto......

[SHRED]

22. Tears

[TomSlick]

23. There really are good people out there with a basic humanity.

[Skya Rhen]

26. Beto comes across as a genuine, empathetic person - I am impressed...

[3catwoman3]

36. He comes across that way because...

...he IS that way.

[sinkingfeeling]

32. That is a compassionate man and a leader. We need that type of

person in our government.

[lastlib]

33. Our candidates have so much humanity...!

... Absolutely unlike a certain other party!

Maybe when repuglikans have their souls saved for Jesus, they have them pickled and smothered with preservatives or something--does anybody think for a moment that Donald AnusMouth, or even Mittens Rmoney, would have asked this guy about getting help, to the point of offering their personal phone number to assist? Don't hold your breath, folks.

This is why I am a Democrat.

35. Beto held a town hall here in the summer of 2017 with 600

people packing a hall. A homeless woman in a wheel chair came in the back door, and he got off the stage, went over to her and knelt down at eye level then talked to her for several minutes. You could have heard a pin drop in that room.

He also got down at eye level with a 9 year old who came up by herself to ask him a question, when it was her turn in line he treated her with as much respect as he would any adult.

My friend took pictures and sent them to our congressperson's office asking why Kay is afraid to have town halls.

[FakeNoose]

37. Amazing, he's a true mensch!

[MustLoveBeagles]

39. He's a wonderful and caring person

I don't care what the haters say.

[SMC22307]

40. That young man needs help and I hope someone (family/friend/etc.) is keeping an eye on him.

Beto has been impressive through all of this -- seems like a thoroughly decent human being.
