Beto’s two new hires show he's trying to run a more buttoned-down operation than his improvisational Senate bid

Beto O’Rourke is adding a pair of seasoned strategists to his campaign, injecting a measure of establishment credibility lacking in his improvisational Senate bid against Ted Cruz last year.

O’Rourke’s efforts to bring veteran staffers on board has come as a relief to supporters who feared his unorthodox campaign in Texas — largely an effort to turn out hundreds of thousands of inactive voters — lacked the discipline necessary for a presidential campaign.Sign Up Still, O’Rourke is also trying to replicate successful elements of his Senate run. That includes some version of a “distributed organizing” model of field organizing in which the campaign recruits and trains volunteers to run their own outreach programs on O’Rourke’s behalf.

“Our campaign started out with the benefit of one of the most innovative and remarkable organizing teams in Democratic politics,” campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon, an Obama veteran and data expert, said in a statement. “These folks dramatically raised the bar on voter engagement and turnout in Texas for the first time in generations.

They’re just collecting a paycheck. Beto should fold up this POTUS run and take over running the DNC. He’d be perfect for that job. That Perez guy is doing nothing for the party.

Run. For. Senate. You’re young. You can run for President again. The Senate needs you. Stop the hemorrhaging.

Does he still have his skateboard? You know, the method of transportation that most boys stop riding when they learn to drive a car.

Who cares about his Senate bid? That's ancient history. The man announced his presidential candidacy under the pretext of 'I am born for it' and then apologized for insinuating privilege or elitism. Friggen sheep!

Obama is a glib huckster who betrayed us by backing the cackling psychopath HillaryClinton... and now, Beto who is a vacuous hack who is appointed to sheep-herd mindless citizens to the defunct DNC party. Pathetic NeverBeto

Yeah, saw his new buttoned down video of him getting his ear hair trimmed. The voters are clamoring.

I know he seems to be a target for naysayers recently, but I have to go on record to say that I like this guy. He's bright, charismatic, empathetic and sincere. He is in the Top 5 for me in the candidate pool. His energy is infectious.

Beano's numbers are sinking faster than Teddy Kennedy's Oldsmoble.

Does that mean he won’t be hopping up on the nearest table?

That doesn't change who he is.

If Bran can do it so can Beto!
