2020 US Presidential Election- Beto O'Rourke-D and Amy Klobuchar-D

A recent public opinion poll for the 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary has Beto in 3rd place after Biden-D and Bernie-D.
Beto-D is leading Booker-D, Harris-D, Kerry-D, Klobuchar-D, Warren-D, Bloomberg-D, and Sherrod Brown-D.
Klobuchar-D is the safe choice to be Beto's VP runningmate. She is a 3 term US Senator from MN- a Battleground state in the Midwest. Klobuchar-D has won her 3 US Senate Races by landslide margin.- over 20 percent. Klobuchar-D will help Beto-D carry WI,MI,and PA. MN has and will have a Democratic Governor- (Dayton-D/Walz-D). Walz-D will select Klobuchar's US Senate replacement in 2021 who is likely to run in the 2022 special Election. Lt Governor elect Peggy Flanagan-D or US Representative elect from MN-5 Ilhan Omar are likely successors to Klobuchar-D.
Regarding the 2020 TX US Senate Race- Beto seeks the Democratic nomination if Julian Castro-D is likely to be the Democratic nominee for the 2020 US Presidential Race. If Beto is likely to be the Democratic nominee for the 2020 US Presidential Race- Joaquin Castro-D seeks the Democratic nomination for the 2020 TX US Senate Race.

Barack was US Senator for 4 years. Hillary was a US Senator for 8 years.
Klobuchar-D needs to first win the IA Democratic caucus to be the Democratic nominee. Beto-D will win the Democratic primary in TX along with the other southern states being a Southerner.
Biden and Hillary played second and third fiddle to Barack in 2008.
