Beto comes off as a guy that reads a "What to say to Democrat Voters on (today's date)" handbook before any public speech.  I have yet to perceive leadership qualities that I would want a POTUS to have. 

Agree.

Is that a list of Biden’s future victims?

Also agree.  I just read Pete Buttigieg's book and was very impressed - wow, to have a smart person as president.  But can a gay man win (I say that wishing the answer was yes, of course)?  

I asked my 21 year old daughter what she thought of the candidates - she likes Warren, but thinks she's too "out there."  She used to like Bernie, but now thinks he's "crazy."  She likes Kamala and Beto.  And thinks Biden is "way too old."

Why? He won't surrender the rust belt, will select a minority VP, and the Obama's will hit the street hard for him....

He's still the best bet

Mayor Pete is catching fire with young progressives, he will quickly settle into the top 3-5 candidates... i like the guy, not sure i'm hitting the button in the primary for him though... i'm honestly a little worried about running a 37 year old homosexual small city mayor in this election, we cannot fuck around and risk 4 more years....

You live in the Greatest Country in the World™ -- why would you have to worry about Trump being elected instead of a sane canditate like Pete?

Because as Alexander Hamilton once said: "The masses are asses."

Rep. Eric Swalwell of California joins crowded field of 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls

The four-term congressman, who has been a frequent guest on cable news programs as well as a visitor to Iowa over the past couple of years, added his name to the long list of people vying for the Democrats’ 2020 presidential nomination.

Swalwell, 38, formally announced the campaign during an appearance on CBS’s “Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

Pretty sure you're the only one who regularly calls it that (even in satire).

It’s possible. I think most voters that would vote just based on his sexual preference are locked into the Trump ticket already.  He isn’t a far left candidate as much as I know (which is little).  But key swing states are middle states so realistically it will cost him a few percentage points if he is the pick.

Also, his sexual preference will hurt him with the minority vote. 

Hi!

I’m just curious as to your use of the word preference. Do people use that term? I would think the appropriate term would be orientation. No big deal, just curious.

I guess it is the word I preferred.  Maybe I need to go to orientation.

I was trolling you and the others in that thread, genius.... have to balance out the ridiculous American hate in that thread, and i see it stuck with you. Good.

There is no greatest country in the world

Give it up, it's fucking weird at this point dude, straight up

cincybearcat

Been weird a long time now.

But it's nice to have the Greatest Poster in the World from the Greatest Country in the World point it out to the greatest Swede in the World!

I felt the same way about Rubio. Like he googled “things republicans like to hear” and just parroted them.

Interesting.  Will have to look back.

Beto is just pissed that some gay mayor from a small town is stealing his thunder.  I'm betting Beto is considering all options....crazy hair, becoming native american, becoming gay, becoming black...whatever it takes to stay in this race.
