Thank you, Beto, for displaying such courage on issues like gun control and immigration. I hope you find a suitable platform for your unique vision and voice.

glad he is gone. We don’t need a self loathing apologist as President. He really hoped to use that tragedy to ride the anti gun wave to the Presidency, didn’t happen.

saying he would take assault weapons away from existing owners.

We certainly don't need a reactionary in the White House. We need gun control yes. But we don't need gun bans. And we sure don't need someone proposing impossible ideas off the cuff without a shred of planning. Even if I agree that all existing owners should have their assault weapons taken away, how is he going to do that when most are not registered and police are going to bulk at that dangerous scheme?

America needs workable ideas and he proved clearly he is not the man to put them forth.

I thought Beto said he was born to do this.

The majority of American citizens are not for having their guns taken and open borders.

I thought Trump said he would be too busy draining the swamp to play golf.

Thought you weren't worried about him. Why the relief?

No, a petulant manchild that refuses to educate himself or listen to anyone is far better, right?

Odd that you cheer this given your repeated statements that he wasn't a threat to Donny. Seems like if that were the case, you'd want him to stay in because it drains resources from other democratic candidates. It seems your hyperpartisanship wins out over logic.

I don’t worry about mosquitoes either, but they’re still annoying.

He wasn’t but the guy is a total piece of...and not to mention, No one cared what his mouth on the inside looked like. He was just a charlatan and an idiot and it’s good he’s out. I’m happy.
