If the Dems want to lose in 2020, Beto O’Rourke is the perfect candidate
NY Post ^ | Dec. 6, 2018 | Maureen Callahan

Beto O’Rourke, with widespread backing, is considering running for president in 2020. If Democrats want to lose, he absolutely should. Nothing has been learned from Hillary Clinton, the two-time heiress apparent who, in 2016, had the support of nearly every mainstream media outlet, who entered the final stretch of her last race with a $449 million war chest (compared with Trump’s $163 million), who led in nearly every national poll, and who was roundly depicted as the rational adult tolerating a villainous bozo.

Early on favorites, like the Witch in 2008 and Jebbie in 2016, often fail to get nominated. Much more will be learned about Beto.

As they say in The Vatican, “Go in as a Pope, come out as a Cardinal”

I think if they conclude secretly that Trump can’t be beaten in 2020 they will go full retard with Kamala Harris and try to pave the way for a return to a “stereotypical folksy sober white male moderate governor” as their candidate in 2024.

Agreed.
If the GOP had run a Senate Candidate in CA who came as close to winning as Beto did in TX, it would have shaken CA to its foundations.

The MSM has caused us to loose critical States like WI, PA and possibly AZ
Do the math.....

It means the person they think will be the Pope, usually isn’t the one who is picked.

That’s not how it works...”Obama” lost a Senate seat in Massachusetts and the GOP ran a candidate who was its Governor and Obama didn’t even have to campaign there. “Trump” lost Montana, he will not lose Montana in 2020. As much as Trump tried he wasn’t on the ballot and every Rupuke doesn’t have the same appeal as Trump does. Also, Trump know how defend Trump policies and will do so unequivocally. That’s not true for anyone else running.

MSM did not cause us to lose those states, we lost those states because our candidates sucked.

We needed to field better candidates, instead of just GOPee hacks because it was their turn
