He's like all the cool Gen X stereotypes came to life. OILERMAN, MadMax, and thor 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I've started all the standalone threads I'll explain. Warren is a weak candidate, Harris is a little out there. I've spoken highly of klobachar but no one else seems to much like her and I've frequently stated my side eye about booker. The ones that are really intriguing me right now are Beto and Buttigieg and klobachar Actually I take that back I think it Does say something about us. There is a Harris standalone - it's an ugly one saying she f***ked her way to the top started by tuxedo. There's 9nines standalone making fun of Warren about the native American thing. And then one about klobachar being a big meany. I think this is all pretty telling. Edited March 17, 2019 by Legaltitan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Maybe Biden shouldn’t run? Beto out raises even Bernie. Will this translate into votes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begooode Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Damn, no wonder the GOP is going after Beto so hard from the jump. Omar, and Legaltitan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legaltitan Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Two things with those numbers: (1) Beto had a very good list already before entering the race, but then again so did Bernie. Money doesn't equal votes, but folks that donate are obviously hardcore and are going to get out the vote, so it certainly is indicative of support at the polls. (2) While Beto is one of the most exciting candidates, I think the huge numbers, overall, reflect the excitement and energy on the Democratic side in general. But yeah, at the end of the day, cash is king. Not only does it indicate you deep bench of excited supporters, but of course a lot of money early on allows a candidate to spread a message further, earlier. Beto's got about as good a head start as anyone. Let's see what he does with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am relieved to see so far they've dug up a DUI from 20 years ago, and some rambling poetry and crazy writing from when he was 15 or 16. If that's the worst there is, seems like he's in pretty good shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Earl Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Asked about the Green New Deal, O’Rourke says, “I haven’t seen anything better that addresses this singular crisis we face — a crisis that could, at its worst, lead to extinction.” The clown doesn't have a chance.

IsntLifeFunny Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 For some reason I don’t like the guy. The video with him and the idiot posing as a news broadcaster on Fox left a bad taste. Pragidealist 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I guess I must agree with it cuz libs is stoopid socialists. It is about conflict yes and identity politics is the bastard child of his ideas. nice try but I'm afraid you may have pulled something with that stretch The reality is Marx did not write one single thing remotely similar to what you claimed in your first post. You could backtrack and say you misspoke but I know you won't do that. Likely the response to being exposed will be more anger and petty insults. It's ok, we've come to expect it.

Titans_Win_Again Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Something odd about a guy polling at around 5% out raising everyone else. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html I want to see the average donation size... and his actual policies. His website doesn't even have a policy section. Rolltide 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
