Beto = textbook example of all style and no substance.
In this regard, he's almost the diametric opposite of some of the hard core policy wonks with little charisma the Dems used to trot out and unsuccessfully run--think Dukakis, Adlai Stevenson, Gore, Mondale, even Hillary.
Sorry Beto, a good chunk of the youngsters and the housewives may like you, but it takes more than that to compete on the big stage. IMHO, he's a fake Western movie storefront or a hollow manaquin. To put it as kindly as I can, he might not be among the smartest candidates in the field either. He can't or won't do a deep dive into the issues.
So Dem voters sometimes are left with the choice of a no-charisma policy nerd who belongs on a Sunday morning political tv show, or some dipsh!t who happens to look good on camera.
