[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And Beto O'Rourke? That's the guy who was hyped beyond belief yet lost to the Senate's biggest a-hole? What's he supposed to do in 2020 again?[/quote]
Beto is nowhere near my shortlist of preferred candidates, but you don't think that a Democrat who came close to winning a statewide race in TX would fare well in states where the electorate isn't nearly as red?[/quote]

Beto is definitely on my shortlist. Agree that if he can nearly win a deep red state like Texas he will play well in the heartland plus he’s got near progressive credentials and an authenticity that most politicians lack.  And he’s honest, not suffering from dementia and not a dictator lover! He should beat trump in a landslide.

Advisers to other prospective Democratic candidates for 2020 acknowledge that Mr. O’Rourke is worthy of their concern. His record-setting success with small donors would test the grass-roots strength of progressives like Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont. His sometimes saccharine call to summon the nation’s better angels would compete with the likely pitch of Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey.

And his appeal to some former Obama advisers — and, potentially, his electoral coalition of young people, women and often infrequent voters — could complicate a possible run for former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who would aim to win back many of his former boss’s constituencies.[/quote][/quote]
