O'Rourke pairs well with other people, not only Harris.
I say he goes nowhere fast just like some of the GOP early stars in 2016. In fact I see none of the above doing much. Probably Trump, baring any impeachment or other serious trouble, will pull it off, but maybe he will decide not to run. Then we are looking at a whole new ballgame.
define "working class issues " and "middle America"
Ideally middle America should care about stuff like healthcare and social security and retirement and upward mobility. However, in our culture war era everyone is distracted by issues like immigration, abortion, guns, religion, and gay marriage.
Charisma could have been enough in 2016. In 2020, the D candidate needs to beat Trump on working class issues in middle America. That would be changing the party values, which they don't seem ready to do yet.
Clay County, KY, mostly GOP.......40 percent below poverty line. Translation: Still poor!
Marianna, FL.....pro Trump......devastated by hurricane Michael and shutdown! Folk there getting ansy!
Biden didn’t run because his son died....period. You may not buy it but it’s the truth. My husband and Hunter are friends. It was an extremely emotional time for the family. You can’t run for our highest office and give your all when you are grieving. But back to your post. I’d like to see a Biden and Beto ticket.
This ticket would never win. Biden's so old, thought has to be given to who would step into the presidency if something happened to him. And there is no way Beto would be the one voters would want for that job.
I'll have to look back through your posts Natalie, being that close to a candidate you must have some unique perspectives.
Didn't know much about Beto until very recently. But if the Democrats have any chance, I'd say he needs to be on the top of the ticket. Why? Biden is too old. Beto is far more likeable. Beto has a lot more energy.
The election of 2020 will be all about the Millennials and Gen Z, and Joe Biden is simply not going to draw that vote, at least with any enthusiasm.
Beto's inexperienced and crooked. "Likeable" won't cut it this time.
I'm not at all sure Pence will be on the 2020 ticket. He was chosen because he was thought to be a help in corraling the Fundamental Christian voters, but Trump showed he didn't need the help.
Pence hasn't hurt Trump, but he doesn't help him either, and Pence has failed to build anything like a loyal base of voters who support him. He's pretty much a non-entity, a quiet ghost who hovers, watches, and does nothing.
I'm hoping Trump will pick nikki Haley for his running mate in 2020.
