Bet O’Rourke is in Pennsylvania today eating ice cream — for breakfast — and meeting with potential voters at Penn State University:

And while the ladies (except for Kamala Harris) running for the 2020 Democratic nomination wasted tons of resources putting policies on their campaign websites, Beto brushed off a question on when voters will get “actual policy from you instead of platitudes.” You see, his website, which sells merchandise, is totally policy-free:
In State College, O'Rourke encounters a skeptical questioner, who asks 2 pointed questions:
– When will you release number of donors from 24-hour haul and average donation size?
– Your website has no policy on it. "When will we get actual policy from you instead of platitudes?"— Patrick Svitek (@PatrickSvitek) March 19, 2019
O'Rourke's answers:
– "We will release the average & number of donors." (Questioner asks when & O'Rourke doesn't say.)
– O'Rourke says he's "trying to be as specific as I can" & cites a few areas where he's suggested specific policies (i.e., on health care, Medicare for America).— Patrick Svitek (@PatrickSvitek) March 19, 2019
Yes, policy is important, but Elizabeth Warren doesn’t post photos eating fast food:
The single most frustrating part of campaign coverage so far has been seeing Warren go so under-covered. Her ideas are exciting. She has done the work of gaming out solutions – what her policies will look like and how she'll pay for them. She's warm & engaging. Yet she's ignored.

And then he jumped up on a counter and everyone cheered!
Well, not really, but it is becoming his thing:
