What do you think about Beto as a VP?

[ecstatic]

Blast from the past, I know, but the pro of choosing him is we wouldn't necessarily be pulling him from an existing job or losing a seat.

I guess the con is--where TF is he? He seems to disappear a lot. Has he ever been fully vetted?

1. Can he win us Texas...?

If not, forget it.

[ecstatic]

3. Maybe. Texas looks a lot like Gilead these days

You would think that people would want to free themselves from that type of tyranny but maybe not.

6. Oh yes, we must not want it bad enough.

[ecstatic]

10. Sorry. I get it. I'm in a similar situation. nt

[JI7]

2. no

[Mountainguy]

4. I don't think he's going to get much consideration.

Just my opinion, but he doesn't really check any of the boxes.

[roscoeroscoe]

5. No no no

Anyone who would run loudly talking about taking away guns in Texas... dumbass.

[onetexan]

7. Love Beto but as a Texan i agree.

[Self Esteem]

8. Beto is not the answer.

He is less relevant now than he was four years ago. His losing to Abbott by 11 points pretty much ended his political career.

[RockRaven]

9. "Meh" seems generous, so whatever is between that and "no, but thanks"

[kerry-is-my-prez]

11. I love Beto, but can he win Texas for us?

[madville]

13. Beto can't win Texas on his own

So he brings nothing to the ticket there, or anywhere else really.

[radius777]

12. No way, too liberal and inexperienced.

Beto is viewed (fairly or unfairly) as an open-borders, gun hating lightweight. He's failed to win statewide now twice. Both Cruz and Abott are terrible and Beto could not beat them. IOW, he does not bring anything to the table that Kamala already has. We need a more moderate white guy like Cooper or Shapiro that can win over a swing state.

[jpug]

14. Has he ever won ...

Anything?

[lapfog_1]

15. House member in Texas 16th

but that ended 5 years ago.

Before that elected to city council of El Paso.

[jpug]

17. Small potaotes guy

Compared to Kamala.

See him on a lot of magazine covers, but no major achievements.

[yellowdogintexas]

16. If you want to know what he is doing, he is working with Mobilize.us/poweredxpeople

Registering voters all across the state, and keeping up with them. He has tons of volunteers working in this effort.
I get about 10 emails a week about this
It's good work. Beto is not one to sit idly by and watch others

[obamanut2012]

18. No

[JCMach1]

19. No

[Beachnutt]

20. The only way Texas will go blue is

if we can get young voters, hispanic voters and black voters to turn out in overwhelming numbers.
