[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going to give some tough love here.  He isn’t that impressive.  He doesn’t impress with intelligence or vision.  And regardless of his nickname, he is a rich white boy who went to a posh boarding school.  I think the party should learn from Virginia.  By now, the Democratic Party needs to offer something other than a rich white guy if it is going to succeed in convincing people it is the party of diversity.[/quote]

Agreed. I think he is the screw up in his family. I would much rather have one Julian Castro run. He is thoughtful and deliberate, instead of being a loose cannon.

Beto has flailed around quite a bit to find his path.

I was disturbed once when I read or saw in interview where he was dropping F-bombs in front of his very small children. Not impressed. [/quote]

What is stopping Castro from running if he wants to?

I don't understand this line of objections. Can you please explain where you're coming from here?[/quote]

Whatever they did/do, they need to be cohesive and not run people against each other and ideally figure out the best person to beat Abbott and go all in on her. This isn't the time to have tough primaries. It looks like the Dems have decided on Beto. It is mistake.

Her. You keep mentioning her. Which female Texas State Representative, State Senator, Mayor, or Lt. Governor are you talking about? I'm assuming she has the experience needed to win across Texas. [/quote]

Nope. She doesn’t need to be an elected official or a politician. Even better if she’s not. Even better if she was a successful private industry exec. They are out there.

The best thing I can say about Beto is that he may help down ballot races. [/quote]

So you want someone inexperienced, unqualified, no political background and you don't even know who this mysterious lady is?[/quote]

It’s tough being a moderate Democratic woman these days. Who wants the job? If you buck the party line you get activists chasing you into the bathroom and posting the video online.[/quote]
