Is Beto O'Rourke the new Obama?

The dems answer will not be a Trudeau from Texas

I agree. Well really I give him about 5 percent odds. If he knocks it out of the park at debates and catches fire then maybe- but I doubt that.

Biden, Sanders, Harris. There is a slot for Beto only if Biden doesn’t get in (99% chance he does) or gets out after the get in. Your standard neo liberal business dem (the money) want Biden.

Would you support any Dem?

Yes. I voted for Obama in 2008.

So almost as tall as Trump’s recent growth spurt to 6’3". And Beto has no need to grow taller to hide his obesity. That should get Trump pretty upset.

Stacey Abrams is considering a 2020 run. If she runs it will be funny to watch the fat comments magically go away. Once a female POTUS is in the WH, the physician yearly report will no longer cite weight.

And I hope he does. The more the merrier.

I hope he does too. He’s gonna be seen as the centrist establishment candidate. That will add some needed differentiation when we get to the debates.

[Demon]

I wouldn’t comment on Trump’s, either, if he didn’t make rude comments about everyone. And can you explain why he’s suddenly taller, other than to look less obese on his health checkup?

@blueapplepaste

He can ramble and is not as polished as the others. But he’ll win on the likeability score. The dude is just someone you’d want to hang with and crack open a beer with.

Honestly, the Dems just need to be smart and pick someone young and charismatic. I just hope to holy hell Sanders is out early and doesn’t fart around mobilizing his support like last time.

I absolutely agree that we need someone charismatic- Biden and Beto fit that bill. Sanders does not- and now that the candidates are agreeing with many of his positions he is no longer needed as someone who is pulling the party to the Left. He has done his job.

I had my favorites in the game, but since watching numerous videos and the CNN Town Hall last Sunday evening, I’m interested in Mayor Paul Buttigieg.

Oh, and I think it’s silly that a candidate must have 65,000 donors in order to secure a place on the debate stage.

I liked him a lot too. His stock is rising. He ain’t gonna win the election but I hope he gets a plum position in the White House as a high up advisor.

Yes you would. Trump is not your excuse.

If/when Biden gets in- he’s gonna have a hell of a time. All of the others have tacked to the Left. Unless he has gone there too he will be seen as a mushy Clinton Centrist and will have a hell of a time winning the primary.

You know all about me. Right.

@CaughtInTheMiddle

’m just looking for a president who doesn’t lie as much as Trump and who can hire people who aren’t criminals (and get departments staffed and functioning again).

Sounds like your bar is just laying on the ground.

@Demon

No, it’s just when someone says they do something because someone else does, well that tells me a lot.

[pam95650]

Do some research on Mayor Paul Buttigiet (South Bend, IN). He’s young, charismatic, intelligent (Harvard graduate & Rhodes Scholar).

[Demon]

Find any other comment I’ve made about anyone else’s physical condition. I’ll wait.

Beto is one to watch. A Red State Democrat who worked extensively with the GOP while in Congress, where he served for 3 terms. He used to be in a punk band, which is a huge plus for me, and still skateboards in parking lots around Austin.

He went to every single county in Texas when running for Senator and listened extensively to what Texans expected and desired. He is very high energy, unlike HRC, and is eager to press the flesh with voters.

I do think he will hold events but it wouldn’t surprise me if he spent a lot of time simply knocking on doors around Iowa and NH.

He has got Kennedy looks, is smart and is moderate, all the while appealing to Millenials and the GenX/Baby boomer crowds. His ability to generate small donations compares to Bernie Sanders.

The guy is one to watch.

Yes, he is young and cool, the “Hey there, fellow kids” candidate.
Kinda resembles Napoleon Dynamite. He does have that Kawabunga Dude aspect going for him. Yes, he looks like a Kennedy cousin. Shallow leftists will love that.

Uh, have you seen Napoleon Dynamite? Like with your eyes?

Read the OP.

Thanks, that will help me decide which Democrat to cheer on. They’re all so good it’s hard to decide.

Don’t worry about that. Fox will decide. Just wait for the marching orders.

Sorry, I don’t intend to watch Fox.

Ted Cruz isn’t that popular.
