The figures so far establish Beto and Bernie as the two most prodigious fundraisers out the gate and could set up a clash between the two. Bernie embraces socialism, Beto capitalism. Bernie the other day shrugged over Beto’s entry into the race. “Free country, anybody can run” — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke was a fundraising juggernaut during his U.S. Senate race in Texas last year, but there were significant questions whether that would translate to a national campaign where he was running against fellow Democrats, not Ted Cruz. The answer appears to be yes. — PolitiTweet.org

Voter continued to press him, saying a woman needs to be in the ticket. “I hear you. Again that would be my preference,” O’Rourke said. “I feel like it would be very presumptuous for me to talk about who I would select as vice president right now. But your point is taken.” (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O’Rourke is asked by a voter if he would pick a woman to be his running mate. “It’s hard for me to see a reason why I would not do that,” he says. “But talking about who I would pick as vice president just feels really premature.” (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org
