    Texas... what can I say?  Sure glad I don't live there (although Austin is cool).

    I wouldn't choose a place to live based on politics.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Arizona Republican mostly ... I know if I was ever to become a snowbird (slang for Canadians who spend their winters south), Arizona is number 1 on my list.

    Ah yes, Arizona.  Home of one of my literary heroes, Edward Abbey.  But then there is...  Unsustainable Phoenix, shithole of the great Southwest.  And the abominable Glen Canyon Damn.  One of the biggest tragedies ever bestowed up the land out of greed and corruption.

    But I will concede to that state having some marvelously beautiful deserts.  Personally though, I would never ever want to live there.

    And then there is Ruined California.

    Shall I continue?  :lol:

    That's literally one of the first things mentioned on MSNBC.  I must be getting old, cause to me that seemed ridiculous.  To be fair, I thought Obama was running to early in his career as well...I was wrong on that one.

    Why is it looney ? There’s a lot of good candidates to rise up for 2020 is there an unwritten rule that if you loose a senate election you are automatically disqualified from running for POTUS ?

    No rule, but generally if you can;t carry your home state in an election, you aren't a good candidate.  And who here thinks Beto takes Texas in the election?  You think losing your own states senate election sets you up for success to win the presidency?  I don;t see it.

    A dem almost winning Texas says a lot.  Sane voters will like him that much more in the rest of the country.

    As I said, I was wrong with Obama.  And I'm voting for almost anyone who runs against trump.  But, to me, this would be an awful choice by the dems.  Of course, there is 2 years to go.

    6 years ago for Democrat to come this close in Texas doesn’t spell change I’m not sure what does , I don’t agree

    Perhaps.  But coming close in a state gets you exactly 0 electoral votes from that state.

    So what makes Beto an awful choice to run for President or Gillum for that matter?

    I just told you.  They won;t even win their states electoral votes.  And I never said awful candidate...I said awful choice by the dems and I thought it was ridiculous to start the Beto for president crap the minute he lost an election.  I want the Dems to run someone that will win.  Obviously there is at least 6-12 months for someone to step up and show they can compete.  

    What makes him a good choice to run?
