There is a significant amount of money to be made between media, lobbyists, professional campaign mgrs and political establishment types if they can make this a race. The money will flow and they will make their coin.
That is on top of their natural inclination to seeBetoTalarico as one of them.
To get the ball rolling is all about hype.
I imagine his campaign advisors spitballing. What memes can we create? Can he skateboard for us? Ride a horse? Show up at BBQ events? Serve as grand marshal of a Juneteenth parade? What about hispanics? Can he appear at quinceaneras with tv crews? When should we go on CNN? When do we do the fundraising trip to California? When do we appear in NYC,Colbert, DC?
On the broader nationa and international scene, there are trillions at stake if they can eventually get the border opened up. So the NGOs and foreign interests will be paying attention.
Beto and Jasmine made bank
