Pull up a chair and watch his rivals use gender and race accusations via proxies to try to sink his campaign.

The even funnier thing will be the people that don't see this coming as if they paid no attention to 2008 or 2016 primaries.

The only guy who can run as a moderate Dem and win is biden because he really IS moderate


I think Klobuchar is fairly pragmatic if not fully moderate. And Brown has is a liberal but also populist- which would serve him well in the Rust Belt.


The weird tactic for Dems is that they have lost as many votes to the left as the middle. So if they held their 2016 voters and brought more young and liberal voters out they would have a path. The problem for Democrats is that they voters who are demanding the most attention are also the demographics least likely to vote.

Miss Juanita Jean, over at the World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon said today Beto will not run against Cornyn. Does that mean he's looking to be a VP candidate?

Maybe Bernie's staffers quit Bernie's campaign a few days ago to join Beto's campaign.

Hmmm.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/28/polit...ion/index.html

O'Rourke aides have spoken with Democratic operatives in recent weeks about a presidential campaign. ...

Another change happened nine days ago: O'Rourke took the "for Texas" out of his digital presence. Emails sent from his team that used to come from BetoForTexas.com are now coming from BetoORourke.com

"purple" is what a Democrat says instead of admitting to losing badly.



The delusion around Beto, who spent $50M lose to lying Ted Cruz is something that has to be seen to be believed.

I hope the Democrats nominate this nu-male. Him calling himself "Beto" in that fake accent, it going to play really well in the battleground states.
