9 Nines Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Sen. Ted Cruz's strategist nominates O'Rourke: “The Democrats don’t have anybody like him. I’ve seen all of them. They don’t have anyone of his caliber on the national stage. I pray for the soul of anyone who has to run against him in Iowa in 453 days.” — Ted Cruz’s strategist Jeff Roe, quoted by Politico, on Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s (D-TX) chances if he ran for president in 2020. IsntLifeFunny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 If the don’t pick O’Rourke they better offer him the VP slot. I could see a Biden/Beto ticket as being pretty formidable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I still say Booker. And I think Warren will run with the support of the liberal wing (and Bernie's endorsement). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Democrats would have at least let Jim Webb speak. I was interested in what his ideas were but they never gave him a chance. Webb had his chance and blew it at the opening Democratic debate. He isn’t a realistic candidate for president. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately when I tuned into the Democrat Debates he got to say maybe 2 sentences and then was shoved aside. I didn't get to hear enough of him to decide on him or not.

I guess there are still some people who are just hardcore Clinton fans. Idk if you recall the PUMAs in 2008 (party unity my ass) who actually voted McCain over Obama. 12% is disturbingly high though!

By blew it, do you mean he didn't come out radical enough, offering free everything to everyone not white, and condemning all to bigot hell who disagree with him? Because I watched all debates from both parties and Webb barely got to speak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Lincoln Chaffe when he gave his lame excuse to justify a bad vote “it was my first vote.” 2016 was a joke. Starkiller 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legaltitan Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 11 hours ago, Cyrus said: I think Biden would win. I'd certainly vote for him. Of course, I'd vote for anyone over Trump, but I'd like voting for Biden. I have no clue why anyone would think Beto would win a national race. Democrats need to make a big tent. "Progressives" are incredibly fickle. Put someone on the ticket who holds up a lot of traditional Democratic values and can win over the working class. How does beto not fit that description?

Legaltitan Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 It will sort itself out. Bill Clinton came out of nowhere to deny Bush a second term. Obama demolished Hillary when 2008 was seen as her turn. Hillary won nomination in 2016 because the deck was cleared and fucking Bernie sanders still took her down to the wire. Hillary can do and say what she wants but there is zero chance she is gojng to win the nomination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Beto will be forgotten by Christmas. His first task is to reestablish himself on the political stage. He's going nowhere in 2020. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first task is to reestablish himself on the political stage. He's going nowhere in 2020. I don’t think this is correct at all. His ability to raise small donations was Obama lite. ThTs when Dems do the best is they show the massive difference in who is funding their campaigns, much like Obama in 08. Beto may wait a while. I hope he does. I would have liked it if Obama was a little older when he ran, but he isn’t going anywhere and he may feel like striking while the iron is hot.
