Dems liked Beto compared to Ted Cruz. Not so much compared to Bernie, Kamala, and Biden.
He was an $80 million marketing plan. Not an actual candidate that can win.
Beto in his day one fundraising email told supporters to donate so they could show the campaign's strength when the release fundraising numbers 24 hours later.
They have not released fundraising numbers.
- Raises more than any other candidate
- Instantly top of polls with Biden
Beto's campaign launch:
- Won't release fundraising numbers
- Apologizes for not letting wife speak in launch video
- Apologizes for wanting to run over kids with a car
