Politicians have a certain amount of cents that they're worth, and you can buy or sell them and win or lose money depending on if they win/lose nominations, elections ,etc.

Typically, the more expensive it is to pick a candidate, it's because they're more likely to win.

He will not lose us more white working class voters in the Midwest while running stronger in the Sunbelt.

Demographics will take care of the rest. Beto also puts TX, FL, AZ, GA, and NC in play.

I love a Beto-Kamala ticket. I understand the argument that she was a senator and he was a congressperson but his talents are wasted as a vice presidential running mate. Lyndon Johnson had a hell of a lot more experience than John Kennedy but the latter was a great campaigner.
