I'm very much on the left and I don't quite get it either. I think people respond to him mainly because he eschews Big Money, and is of a younger generation. Personally I think he's a pretty classically center-left Dem and fairly run-of-the-mill in that respect. Juxtaposed with Cruz, though, and considering he actually gave Cruz a race, Beto comes off in the media as quite the shiny new penny. Personally, though, I think he's a bit of a Biden 2.0 in the making.
