Paul Brancato Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I cannot understand why Beto has permanently closed off the possibility of running for Senate in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Varnell Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Looks like Beto is going to skip the first 4 states -- Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and So. Carolina -- then bank on winning Texas on Super Tuesday to propel his campaign. All I know is that I had to get rid of my crystal ball. Sold it for scrap, alas...

Ron Bulman Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 You want gun control because we're the worst nation in the world on dealing with it? That's the issue at the moment. Though it will quickly be diverted. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/orourke-visits-arkansas-gun-show-after-releasing-gun-control-platform/ar-AAFWTqz?ocid=spartanntp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Marshall Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Beto's idea of a vibe is pathetic and hardly an heir to the Kennedy I liked most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine Bobby Kennedy taking the beat-down Beto took from Julian Castro during the First Dem Debate? No, I can't imagine Bobby getting rolled like that, no...

Ron Bulman Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Beto's not Bobby. Trouble is among 20 plus candidates nobody else is either. Who can beat the anti JFK, trump? Biden stumbles over his words these day's in addition to his cfr ties. Warren or Sanders might be a better choice on policies but are either electable? A younger generation may decide this election if they do in fact turn out but a candidate who appeals to them, their parents and grandparents is necessary to win. Apathy could be a problem. Among the top five, or ten, who is inspiring, Harris? Whoever the democrats throw out there May overwhelm trump. Would the country support a woman from Hawaii of a "different" religion, or one with roots in the middle east? Unfortunately, I don't think so. Maybe Booker will rise as "electable." I don't know. He's inexperienced in foreign affairs, but probably can't do worse than trump. He has made some logical statements regarding plans for internal U S affairs. Gun control is a big issue right now. One that could influence the election significantly. He's on the Right side of that now imo (pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bulman Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Maybe as Elizabeth Warren's running mate? A winnable team? Full screen, volume. Hang around for the guitar pickin. Memorizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden is perceived as old, bumbling and the past. Bernie as old, too far left and un photogenic. Warren is a teacher from Oklahoma, as well as a Harvard Professor and Senator from Massachusetts. Grandmotherly but old enough to understand World and US affairs, but not too old. Can she argue persuasively with Orange hair? Between a black president in Obama, and Hillary winning the popular vote the US would support a Woman president. Beto's name recognition from his almost beating Cruz, Congressional experience, and recent exposure regarding the hot topic of gun violence as well as his "Bobby Vibe" and his youthful appeal to younger voters could make for a winning ticket with him as VP. Not ideal for many, but winnable. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis Morissette Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Beto is a POS. He is that nowadays Democrat that you're not sure if he is pro-America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, but, but, he's got that Bobby vibe. The name, Robert Francis and the Irishness of O'Rourke. He was raised on the border and get's along with Latino's. I guess Irishmen, and women, along with Hispanic's are un American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
