I'll listen to what he has to say but I'm figuring this is what I will hear.

A lot of name calling over the years stuck. It's not something to be proud of and Trump wasn't even original here.

Democrats are yet and still swirling the drain with these ridiculous tax and spend shills

His ties to the Pharmaceutical industry is not going to be ignored.
Cory Booker is someone everyone gets a long with, his NJ constituents like him, but other than that he has no "base". Thats his problem.

I dont think Warren is worried about picking up votes from anyone who doesnt understand why its wrong to use Pocahontas as a slur in the first place.

I am with you completely. Moderate, intelligent, stands firm but will compromise for the good of US citizens. Someone who is a leader who we can admire and be proud of. I voted for neither in the 2016 election, sorry I just couldn’t choose. Neither was a quality candidate. I want immigration reform that puts citizens above illegal aliens (so tired of sanctuary cities, etc.), a good national basic health care system where your medical bills won’t cause you bankruptcy or losing your home, fewer wars, keep the government out of our private lives, stop the overt PC nonsense, environmental regulations that will ensure clean air, water and habitat.

I looked up Beto and he's for illegal immigration. I would only vote for him if there's no one else. I will always vote. I will find the lesser of two evils because it can make a difference. We need a moderate, a moderate who is easy to like and can get everyone together.

Mr. “snatch the snatch” has too many bones hanging out in his closets to survive a national level run.

One think I can say about establishment Democrats, they are certainly lavish spenders on political campaigns.
Waldo, it’s pretty impressive in a state where a great majority of the potential voter pool will not even CONSIDER votING FOR a Dem. Texas used to be the opposite where a Dem would NEVER vote for a Repub except maybe at the POTUS level. Of course, Texas Dem party was much more conservative in those times. Statewide Texas voting hasn’t seen a Beto margin like that since the 1980s.
