Beto O'Rourke for president

[wildman76]

I think Beto O'Rourke should run for president he has captivated many people and has motivated alot of people

[DesertRat]

1. One step at a time

16. Joe and Beto 2020

[DesertRat]

20. I'd like to see a woman on the ticket

But first, the midterms.

[femmocrat]

2. I agree! I think he has an RFK quality about him.

But, what is with those polls that have cruz leading by up to 9 points? I know... ignore the polls!

If (when) Beto wins, I think he will be unstoppable as a contender for 2020. It has been awhile (maybe since Obama in 2004) since a candidate with so much star power has excited the party.

Did you see him riding a skateboard into a rally? So cool!!!

[marble falls]

3. Too soon. Lets see how the Senate gig works out for us first. After we get him elected, of course.

[enough]

4. For heaven's sake, the guy hasn't even been elected yet. Don't we care at all about

experience?

[JI7]

5. he has been serving in congress already

[wildman76]

9. Trump broke the mold

Let's remember democracy is at stake don't need experience to be a patriot

[Brother Buzz]

18. Experience? Check out his congressional record

Hell, he got straight F- (minus) on this one which is totally impressive and deserves a

22. Trump wasn't elected without Russians help

7. Point taken... Too early to say yet, but I seem to recall

A Tall, Illinois President who lost a Senate race, then became President

[wildman76]

11. Exactly

Well said

[LBM20]

8. What if he loses in TX? Hopefully not, but we all know that is a TOUGH climb. So lose Senate and go

for Prez? Or even win the Senate and then immediately go for Prez after he has so critized Cruz for doing so?

No.

[dlk]

10. First Things First - Let's Elect Beto to the Senate Where He Would Receive More National Recognition

Voting out Ted Cruz wouldn't be a bad idea either.

[wildman76]

12. I know

I think he would be our best shot, I don't see a good Democrat candidate for president yet kinda worried Iam from New York and I contributed to his campaign

[SMC22307]

13. Do you really, wildman?

Howzabout we get through November 2018 first. You directing any energy towards that?

[wildman76]

14. Instead of critizing me

Look I think Texas help created this colimity, and yes I have done work for the midterms how about you

[SMC22307]

15. Glad to hear you're working for the midterms.

Same... I'm in deep blue communist Northern Virginia.

[madville]

17. Only if he doesn't win the Senate seat

It would make no sense for him to flip the TX seat and then hand it right back to the Republicans after 2020.

[andym]

19. So Beto may be in a win-win situation

Either beat Cruz in red Texas or run for President. He does seem to have the "It" factor and would do well against Trump.

21. Slow down there, buddy.
