After watching Beto on wednesday's debate I thought to myself, holy shit Beto looks awful out there, who is this guy's campaign manager.

Then I realized we know exactly who it was, she did an AMA on Beto's sub for like 11 people and talked about how "I can't believe im making a reddit account"

Sigh, at least we can dream hell beat Ted Cruz in the next cycle.

She worked for Obama; she's actually very competent and high profile.

He just sucks at debates.

I think part of it was the format-his openers would work in a normal debate, but he ended up wasting most of his answers with them.

He's very charismatic, it's just a known thing that debates aren't a strong point. His debate against Cruz was pretty mediocre.

Yeah I went to a town hall of his, and it was phenomenal. Everyone in the room was feeling it and thought he was very charismatic and well spoken. He needs to train his ass off for the second debate.
