Two Beto Staffers Bail for Bernie
Texas Tribune: “Bryant Young and Autumn Lanning grew disillusioned with O’Rourke and convinced he was not the true progressive they had imagined.”
“From oil policy to health care, these two young Beto exes said they never took the time to pore over votes and policy positions. Once they did — and O’Rourke went from Senate hopeful to presidential wannabe — they abandoned him and are now supporting reliable liberal Bernie Sanders in the race for the White House.”

Joe Biden Deserves Better Than This
Tim Miller: “In a convergence of the tribalistic crazy that has infected our politics, the former vice president has managed to find himself a target of hungry, outraged opportunists across the spectrum who have had just about enough of his hair sniffing. Defenders of an unapologetic serial sexual assaulter, and the pussy-grabber-in-chief himself, spent last week gleefully pretending that they thought Biden was the real creep.”
“And certain socialist-curious Democrats were quick to call the Cancel Cops, obviously hoping that the fallout would knock Biden off his perch atop the Democratic primary polls.”
“But here’s the thing about these critics, left and right: Vanishingly few of them seem to sincerely believe that Biden’s enthusiastic shoulder rubbing would inhibit him from being a successful president.”

“National Democrats are ratcheting up their Texas offensive yet again ahead of 2020,” the Texas Tribune reports.
“The chairwoman of U.S. House Democratic campaign arm announced Tuesday morning that her committee will open a new satellite office in Austin.

‘Are You Here to See Beto?’
Matthew Rowland, a University of Iowa student, to the Iowa City Press-Citizen: “I was in the bathroom, minding my own business and I was washing my hands. And this guy asked me how it was going, and I said good, ‘How’s it going. Are you here to see Beto?'”
