    Did you just discover D&D? Congratulations! Perhaps it would behove you to bone up on your political acumen, broaden your sources for news and opinions. Just a suggestion.

    I think you must have seen enough of these kinds of posters to know the life cycle.

    Maybe he's dyeing his hair gray to make himself look more presidential.

    Ha, the rapid loss of hair color happens pretty quickly once you become President... I've never noticed it amongst candidates

    I mean seriously, the pressure of being President takes such a toll. Interesting how many politicians want the job.

    The desire for power. Ego, as in “I’m the President!” A desire to line your pockets, or dance to the tune of an oligarch running a hostile foreign power. Who could that last bit possibly describe?

    I certainly wouldn’t want the job. At least my hair, what there is of it, couldn’t get any more gray than it is now. I guess it could become a pure white. No thanks!

    Beto proposes a war tax on non-military households:

    Households making less than $30,000 per year would pay $25; those making less than $40,000 would pay $57; those making less than $50,000 would pay $98; those making less than $75,000 would pay $164; those making less than $100,000 would pay $270; those making less than $200,000 would pay $485; and those making more than $200,000 would pay $1,000.​

    Beto is floundering. He should drop out.

    Maybe we need a “Beto tax”: if you’re a smug douchebag with a billionaire wife trying to pass yourself off as “authentic” and a man of the people, then Ted Cruz gets to punch you in the face.

    He looked awful tonight. I think it's safe to say his campaign is officially done.

    Poor Beto. He looks like he needs a vacation from running for office. He also looks like he should have remained a US Rep as it would have given him some structure or something in his life. I had a yard sign and all, but he is starting to look sort of ragged.
