Beto not having a narrow, sliced & diced coalition is *the point*—in TX, brought together the most diverse coalition in history: 500k Republicans, more Dems than any candidate in history; in big cities & small towns; Latinx, black, white, doesn't matter. @NateSilver538

If we’re going to make progress, we need to meet folks where we are and have open, honest, and sometimes hard conversations— even with people who’ve traditionally been written off or we assume disagree with us. @BetoORourke went to a gun show in Arkansas today to do just that.

Beto O’Rourke just went to a gun show in Conway, Arkansas where he spoke with firearm owners & sellers about gun violence. He spent about 30 minutes discussing possible solutions with people who had agreements and disagreements with the fmr congressman. ✍🏻 coming @ABCPolitics

@EmGusk @PostPolls Perhaps the most surprising finding in our poll: Majority support for an assault weapons ban -- *including a mandatory buyback*. Nearly everyone who supports the former supports the latter as well.

I can think of nothing— nothing— more irresponsible than the @AP printing a story about unsourced “speculation” at this time. Beto is running for President. He is staying in El Paso to be with his community during this time. Because that’s what real leaders do.

O’Rourke’s campaign is very proud of this speech. They’ve been flagging it in fundraising emails, etc. I don’t know what the technical threshold is for going “viral,” but check the view count on this clip- 1.3mil views in a day seems pretty close...

. @pbump breaks it down on @MSNBC while discussing mandatory buybacks and the politics surrounding: "It actually polls fairly well. A WashPo/ABC poll that came out last week actually found that a majority of Americans actually support that idea." Americans want bold leadership.
