Beto O’Rourke narrowly tops a recent poll of possible Democrat presidential contenders.
The poll was conducted by liberal group MoveOn.org.
"Mr O’Rourke came in first with 15.6 per cent of votes, followed by Mr Biden at 14.9 per cent and senator Bernie Sanders 13.1 per cent… The three men were followed by California senator Kamala Harris on 10 per cent support, and senator Elizabeth Warren with 6.4 per cent…"
I don’t understand O’Rourke’s popularity. I watched his losing campaign in Texas and wasn’t impressed.
I\m also linking to another article saying the radical left doesn’t like O’Rourke. They think he is a Clinton centrist stalking horse, sent to deny Bernie Sanders the nomination.
He showed an ability to inspire voters while coming off as genuine. I think he would have a solid chance in the primaries and would likely do quite well against Trump.
Pray ardently for a Democratic ticket that includes Clinton and divides the party again. Assuming he doesn’t quit in a fit of pique or is frog-marched out in a jumpsuit of his favorite color, Tiny is going to need all the help he can get in 2020.
Surprised his DWI arrest hasn’t been mentioned yet. Even if Trump isn’t on the ballot in 2020, hard to see how Republicans could make that big of deal about it with a straight face.
If Trump is not on the 2020 ticket, Republicans will do a 180 and proclaim to be all about Christian values again. And they will use their faux “holier than thou” attitude to try and shame O’Rourke with his DWI arrest.
