When the best dirt you have is a dental visit, it's probably not a good sign. Warren is damaged goods, Biden represents the past, and Harris just doesn't have the political chops. The optics of O'Rourke vs. Trump will not be good for your side, but time will tell.

His dental visit was just the first jerry brown moment he had. Moon Beam11.

He's a vacuous twit.  Male-ish version of Kirsten Gillibrand and possibly even ditzier.

Gilibrand is a trash candidate. I'm not gonna get into a substantive debate because I'm pretty sure you know where I stand and vice/versa, but Beto is a political force. Damn near won in ruby red Texas. If an up and coming republican came within a few points of representing Cali or NY in the Senate, I'd consider them a threat.

Sanders running

All the DNC will be pitted against him which makes me think he has a legitimate shot.  I don't see him drinking a beer in his kitchen to prove his authenticity.

Are you making the trip up to Oakland for her big kickoff this weekend?

 

 I'd rather go to a Raiders game. In Oakland. While wearing a Bills jersey.  And dragging a black-and-silver Chucky doll around on the ground, hanging from a twine soaked in the sweat of the entire Black Hole.

 

Y'know, for all the yelling the left does about racism and bigotry and white supremacy, you'd think they'd do better than Barack Obama and Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren and Beto the Furry and AOC. You'd think they'd do better than a Jackson Lee, a Maxine Waters, or a guy who is worried about Guam tipping over because of too many people.

 

Surely the left has some smart minorities. You would think.

 

Yet no sooner is a Barack Obama in a rear view mirror, here comes a Kamala Harris and AOC, eager to take the crazy reins and yell Giddyap!

 

Unreal.

Beto doesn’t worry me for three reasons.

 

1- his previous campaign is indicative of the fact that the left didn’t learn their lesson last prez cycle- you don’t win elections by having the media and famous people celebrating how happy they are that you’re going to win. there’s no evidence that blue platform 2020 won’t be the same.

 

2- the fact that he can’t win with that much money and media backing, even in Texas, is problematic.

 

3- Beto made his name by being a charismatic, relatable, every man. The problem is that trump already owns that and does it better. A Beto v. Trump debate is a personality contest, and that won’t work for Beto.

 

all the above is my opinion, of course.

Depends on the level of Trump fatigue and the state of the economy 18 months from now.

Yeah, problem is that, unless the dems change tactics, it’ll be a passing contest with no substance.

the only way Bernie wins is if Hillary decides to run again.

Will the democrats put up any moderates, or will they all be far left socialists? If the dont, even with liberal millenials now voting, it pretty much means Trump or Pence will win 2020

 

 

Some will call themselves 'moderates (carefully - as to not offending the vast majority of dems)

 

but they aren't really.

 

for God's sake...............they consider Hillary a Centrist.........?
