So about the only exciting thing that happened is that Beto called out Pete by name, saying he's too afraid of doing the right thing, i.e. confiscating weapons from people. The girls are officially fighting.

Oh, and Hogg looked super lanky.

Well, Mayo Pete started it a few weeks ago with his snarky remark about Beto where Pete backtracked on a stronger anti-gun position.

Erm, what now? Pete has always been against mandatory buybacks, just like every other candidate apart from Beto and Kamala. And Booker, who reversed his position this week.

Let's also not forget that Beto himself was opposed to this policy right until the moment the El Paso shooting happened. You know, because it affected his own town. The gays dying in Pulse obviously didn't move him enough to change his mind... Which says a lot about him, i.e. he can only understand a situation and empathise with the victims when the mass shooting happens in his own backyard.

I'll also add that he refused to air attack ads against Cruz when he was running for Senate, but has now been doling out these personal low blows on Twitter all day today ("Think of the children!") against his DEMOCRATIC competitor. That tells you a lot about his principles as well.

Oh, and here's the kicker - he accused Pete today of following polls to determine his policy. He then brings up polls about gun control in the very next sentence. Gurl, bye.

Oh give me a fucking break. Only in America can an old man shoot and kill 60 people at a country music concert in Vegas and the population and media just yawn and forget about it in about a day and a half. Nobody is going to change this shit.
