Are you impressed by Beto's record shattering first day of fundraising?

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. -

BTW Beto finished third in his age group of forty in a 5k run.

For in everything that we do the body is useful; and in all uses of the body it is of great importance to be in as high a state of physical fitness as possible

9. Yes. I applaud his commitment to fitness.

5. I agree with you.

He has made it a selling point that he is running a grassroots campaign. You would think he would be eager to release that information.

7. Same here

O'Rourke's campaign provided only the topline fundraising number, not more detailed information that other campaigns have disclosed, such as the number of donors and news donors, the size of the average contribution, the geographical diversity of contributors, and how much money he's raised since the first day.

4. I'm amazed anyone is surprised by it

Again, think big picture above day to day specifics. Too many adjuster types were desperately trying to differentiate Texas from a primary, saying Beto could fund raise there against Cruz, but not here with so many other options.

Meanwhile, if it happened once to extreme degree there is a fundamental reason for it, and it is eligible to replay. We had to understand that with Beto's fund raising, and we better damn sure understand it regarding Trump's ability to win an election. Finding the best nominee is imperative, and that has nothing to do with reciting issues.

6. Surprised.. a little bit. If he has the momentum great!!

8. Yup it's impressive. But I do think the info other candidates have provided, i.e., avg $ and # of

donors, etc. would be appropriate. Missing those things makes it all a little suspect and I'm sure that's not the intention.
