Beto may be the next President of the United States

[andym]

He has risen to national prominence in this election where he was the decided underdog. and has the change, hope and unifying message like Obama. Most importantly, he inspires people-- which is what this country needs now.

1. Enough of these pipe dreams. He just LOST a Senate race. Said he won't run for President.

[trc]

2. He said he would not run for president if elected to the senate

now he is free from that promise

[First Speaker]

14. Lincoln lost the 1858 Senate race to Douglas...

...and we all know what happened then. O'Rourke's position is similar in some ways. They both went after a famous Senator, almost took them down, and got fame and notoriety as a result. Lincoln became a national figure as a result of his race; so has O'Rourke. Stranger things have happened.

3. His coattails are disrupting Texas!

4. I believe he will be

5. First, he needs to teach Democratic officials

How to answer questions.

They could learn a lot!

6. I could live with that.

Quite happily.

7. We've got a lot of winners

who are vying for the nomination, my prediction is one of them will be our standard bearer.

8. We will see-- inspirational candidates have a great chance in the primaries

But a lot depends on who runs. Gillum may be a strong candidate too.

9. As I said

there are winners, Biden, Harris, Booker, Sanders, Warren, and others, who will likely be our standard bearer two years from now. People who have actually been able to win an election are probably better able to defeat Trump in 2020.

10. Obama won his Senate seat and was seen as a winner by bthe whole country.

There was faith in making him the nominee because he had won state and federal office
I think Beto will make a great VP pick.
I think my Senator, Kamala Harris is going to be our next nominee and POTUS.
She has followed the Obama model as a path to the oval office
If Beto is the nominee I will gladly vote for him though

[andym]

11. She is my Senator as well

I think it may very well come down to a choice between these two.

12. Harris/Beto 2020 wins the White House.
