His meeting with Barack Obama went over schedule. He and Beto O’Rourke have spoken. Not long ago, he thrilled 300 well-heeled political donors hungry to win in 2020. But no one seems to know, except for Andrew Gillum, if he’s actually thinking about running for president. The door is open for Gillum to explore a run for the presidency, strategists familiar with the rigors of organizing presidential campaigns said. Gillum has not ruled it out. But according to interviews with nearly a dozen friends, former aides, or associates for this story, he is on his own schedule. He intends to do what’s most effective for Democrats to beat President Donald Trump in 2020 and is said to be unfazed by the people pushing him to run for the Democratic nomination.

Money quote:

“The thing you have to understand about Andrew is he’s been told he’s going to be president someday his entire life,” an aide who worked on his campaign for governor and has spoken to Gillum recently told BuzzFeed News.

And the loser actually believes it.

Apparently for a Democrat, the best thing you can have on your resume if you want to run for president, is to have lost a major election.

Anyone considering supporting or voting for this deranged LOSER is a deranged LOSER!

Democrats seem to have a lot of LOSERs vying to get whacked by the Trump Train!

And, if you vote Democrat, you are voting against America!

Trump/Pence 2020!

Continue Making America Great!

A criminal conviction is a resume builder for Democrats too.
Consider ALcee Hastings, former Federal Judge impeached, convicted, & kicked off the bench for accepting bribes..
subsequently elected to Congree from South Florida.
And there’s Marian Barry, former DC Mayor, convicted of crack possession.. subsequently elected to the DC City Council.

From failed Mayor of Tallahassee, FL to the White House? LOL!................................. LOL?, Look how they elected a Community organizer. Maybe they’ll run him with the Cortez woman. You thought we had Chaos before? The imbecile voters on the left side of the bell curve will worship them. The Democrat Intellectual Elites on the right side of the curve will manipulate every move that they make. Forget the Candidates, they are only spotlighted as stars, the most popular with get the most hype. Once in, the puppet masters will control them totally. (We got you there now just do as we say, and you leave here with tons of $$$$$$$) Isn’t that the real reason behind it all?

These people need to be rounded up and air dropped into Venezuela where they belong.
I don’t believe in a dialog with them.
They are subversive enemies of the Republic.

Guillen could be a serious VP pick on any ticket...

He is articulate and sounds smart...

Young, black and good looking...

He has political experience and is a budding socialist

What more can you ask for on a dem ticket..?

That was the theme of “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” 79 years ago.

It will be a Biden-Beto ticket in 2020 and the only state they would have a chance of beating Trump would be Delaware.
