is getting it done? What we are doing now, will give him at least 2 more years. When his kids are in the barrel, he'll make some big noise, and use it to exit stage left. When really, it'll be him saving his own worthless hide. JMHO

I worked for him here in TX. I think he is extremely optimistic. I think he has the right path in his soul. BUT...I don't think he follows any model or will ever get "seasoned". He is a feeler not an intellectual.

Trump WILL run on his hateful demonizing of immigrants and the border. There is no one better to debate that topic than Beto. It's where he lives. People need and want hope, inspiration and something to believe in and Beto can do that. He knows how to sell progressive issues without coming across as too extreme.

He's the one.

I’m so sick of the heavy-handed lecturing by some on this website when it comes to the impeachment issue. Personally, I’m not sure what the best route to go is but I don’t need to be talked down to.
