..trying to manipulate them. Latinos set to Veto Beto.

He hasn’t earned it..

“I’ve distilled it down. And that’s basically the refrain I’ve heard from dozens of Latinos who — unlike the news media, run by white liberals who are fascinated by other white liberals — refuse to go loco for Beto.
They’re concerned that Robert Francis O’Rourke, 46, who on Thursday joined an already-crowded field of 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls, is trying to put one over on Latinos by tricking them into thinking he’s one of them. Or, at the very least, they think that his strategy, or that of his handlers, is to come across to Latinos as a simpatico who connects with them the way that Bill Clinton — whom writer Toni Morrison mischievously dubbed “our first black president” ..
 
Since O'Rourke is a privileged white guy that Latinos don't like, does that mean Lectro is a fan?
 
Beto is an empty suit.
He's the perfect represention of the Democratic Party donor class. Rich family, history of local conservative politics, establishment politician who runs on aspirational rhetoric that doesnt actually mean anything, but he makes people "feel good".

Beto hurt himself by waiting to get into the race. Now it looks like he’s leeching off the ideas of others.
