One month into the race, even some of O’Rourke’s supporters are starting to worry about persistent criticism that the charismatic Texan is missing big policy ideas of his own

O’Rourke has at times appeared confounded by criticism that he is glossing over policy. When an MSNBC correspondent relayed to O’Rourke recently that some students he spoke with found O’Rourke “wishy-washy” on climate change, police violence and other issues, O’Rourke said, “Hmm,” then paused.

“I’m going to make the rare admission for a politician that I don’t have a good answer to your question,” O’Rourke said at a recent campaign stop, when asked what he would do to help in-home child care providers. Earlier this month, O’Rourke’s campaign publicized a pledge by O’Rourke, if elected, to sign an executive order requiring his Cabinet secretaries to hold monthly town hall meetings —

Truth

Politico has Beto issues. Humans vote not undermining articles. What’s the difference btn you and Russian bots?

Saw this in a meme group 'Beto MEH nia' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he's talented, nice guy, but sadly, it's true.

Then give more time to the women! They are qualified, they have real ideas, and they are being ignored!

sfpelosi Can always count on Politico for slightly right of center undermining. Some things are eternal.

sfpelosi BetoORourke has my vote

Communication 👍

I'm beginning to think that replacing an empty shell of a man (Trump) with an empty suit may not be such a good idea.

He's just a pretty face

Seems like Beto's role for the Ds is to energize the base and get people voting, get people talking. Real policy issues and ideas will be carried out by the heavyweights who aren't as appealing to crowds and the media.

He is no progressive and just look at his voting record

Looks good on top of a table. Lmao he is a perfect example of how the left is nothing but hot unAmerican air. bob is a joke.

Bogus premise from a lazy journalist.

Yes to SenKamalaHarris

The fastest road to extinction would be to elect a centrist posing as a progressive... a platitude filled neoliberal who will not do the will of the people but the will of the corporations, banks and MIC.

He would've been a Great Senator?

1,O'Rourke is asking Americans what they want, he listens. 2, O'Rourke will draw upon the ideas he has heard from us. 3, he bring his policies to the American citizens to see if they agree by voting for him. It's early, lets give the candidates time to flesh out their agendas

Trump still has no policies and his base doesn’t care. There may be a big advantage to not laying it all out in details to be picked over by all sides.

That’s why he’s a beta

No plan = no vote Tired of 'big picture' thinkers with no substance

He sucks, flat out. And he has no business running.

Well so far none of the other candidates can jump up on a table like he can.

Beto is cool he don't need no policies. He just has to be likable 😎 He has potential, he just needs to be more policy oriented and not just all talk

I think he just wants the rock star moment.

Who is giving this guy money?

Almost like he is a completely empty suit who got a tailwind from a fawning media during his Senatorial campaign even though he is a total loser.

Sanders, Yang, Gabbard or reluctantly Warren. The others aren't even on my list. I hated her vote of the defense budget and her superdelegate pledge for Clinton.

He has none! Walk away

none Dem party tell the Americans how they make more for growth & pay the debt. It's so silly campaigning. 🤪🤪🤪

I've said it before and I'll say it again. BetoORourke is a charismatic pretty boy without a lot of direct experience. If we elect him, we will regret it. ewarren has shared extensively not only what she intends to do but HOW she intends to get it done.

Trump says he's the only one in charge of setting his immigration policyPresident Trump offered praise for top aide Stephen Miller on Wednesday but pushed back on the notion that the hard-liner is the force behind his immigration policy.
