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”

[DIRTYSECRET]

Doesn’t matter. The gift of the gab worked for B.J. & the Kenyan. Voters go for the flash.

[Doogle]

Stinky will not get the DNC backing...

[albie]

With ballot harvesting anything is possible!!!!

[Lockbox]

1st the Dems said they would run a fake Indian and now they want to run a fake Hispanic!

[Mr. Jeeves]

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.

[qaz123]

O’Rourke - OcasioCortez 2020....Hellzzzzzzz Yeah!!!!!

[Interesting Times]

John Kerry would be a much better choice.

[Mr. K]

They hate the Irish!

[ScottinVA]

I wouldn’t bet on that... many thought the same of Obama when the dems started rumbling in ‘07 about his running.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Actually I look at their massive field and don’t see a winner in the bunch.

[jalisco555]

If he’s smart he’ll run for the Senate again in 2020. He could win this time, especially if the seat is open. But I suspect he does believe all the hype and will run for President and lose.

[rightwingcrazy]

They seem to be going for a candidate that will appeal to the yokels in Flyover without alienating the base on the coasts. Thus they cast a hard leftist nicknamed “Beto” (for the base) with what they perceive to be unoffensive skin tone and boyish charm (for the yokels).

[dpetty121263]

People today might go for Beto as Americans today are a fickle bunch..and if the economy tanks due to the Deep State crashing it we could see the Socialist sweep into power..They are more concerned with Dancing with the Stars than the Constitution..

[9YearLurker]

Right. But people dismissed Obama early on too. You know Beto would have a black woman VP on his ticket.

[Chewbarkah]

I started to comment that O’Rourke’s advantage was being a blank slate upon which the ignorant could project their wish list. After looking him up on Wikipedia, I see that I would have been wrong. His life is a progressive’s dream, with all the baggage trail — degree from Columbia in English Lit; member of various unsuccessful punk bands; job out of college = live-in nanny; renovated a loft in Brooklyn; internet startup; dwi; married daughter of a rich developer; government jobs with no accomplishments; pro-dope; anti-2nd A; anti-Israel. Zero real executive experience. What could go wrong?

[I want the USA back]

Let him run. His ego is bigger than his brain. Alexandra can be his running mate.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[from occupied ga]

My choice is Stacy AbramsShe owes $200,000 in personal debt showing that she has the Democrat approach to budgeting down pat. She has introduced gun confiscation legislation in the Ga general assembly showing she understands Americans' hatred of the right to keep and bear arms and their loathing of being able to defend themselves (or at least she has the NY, NJ, MA, MD, IL and CA attitudes understood.) She wants to make GA a sanctuary state where illegal invaders can do as they please and sign up for welfare immediately (at the expense of the those of us who actually work for a living) as long as they vote Democrat (and of course she wants everyone to vote regardless of whether or not they're here legally or not.)

She blames her loss on racism, voter suppression (a mythical concept taught in black studies programs) male chauvinism etc. She wants to raise taxes on the "rich" i.e. anyone who actually works for a living. Like all Democrats who lose she NEVER considers the concept that the ideas she was selling are not what people want.

In short she's very much like 0bama except she's nowhere near as honest as 0bama, lacks his respect for the constitution and dedication to limited government, his firm commitment to the Bill of Rights, his fiscal responsibility, his skepticism of the global warming hoax, and his admiration of the qualities that make America great.

The woman is a total a$$hole without a single redeeming quality and would have been a first magnitude disaster for Georgia if she had managed to steal the election. What's frightening is how close she came to winning (not counting the phony ballots that were created by corrupt black Democrat election officials in DeKalb and Fulton counties.) Part of the problem is that GA is 30% black, and according to one exit poll I read 98% of them voted for her. Apparently GA's blacks are still firmly on the Democrat plantation and are happy to be there. So that's 30% of the vote right there.

Then there are the yankee immigrants who (unfortunately) are legal who destroyed the economies of their home state by voting Democrat and then moved here ad immediately started doing the same thing because they're too stupid and arrogant to realize they brought their own doom upon themselves. I'm not a native Georgian, but I never voted Democrat in my life (my parents would split the ticket until they died, but now they vote straight Democrat)

So between the racist Blacks (98% of them) and the idiot white liberals Georgia almost got a steaming pile of manure as a governor.

She's a loser like O'Rourke, but she lost a larger election so she's my pick for Democrat presidential candidate 2020.

[MrEdd]

It would be like the Democrats got flattened in a hit and run.
