This guy bout to drive every inch of the Midwest. Republicans about to be attacking him on gas guzzling and releasing so much CO_2 pretty soon.

 

He is going to put in the work. I think he can resonate with people even more once he gets his policies out there and does a town hall or do two. He’s more progressive than a lot of people think but he doesn’t have a reputation as a “crazy socialist” like Sanders and Warren etc do. That will help him. 

 

He will be able to own that campaign trail in a way that Trump won’t which would be a huge factor in the general and deciding those key Midwest states.

Abrams needs to run for Senate. We need gains there badly. GA, CO, NC Az are all in play.

 

Maybe NC is in play though I'm skeptical. No one with state wide name recognition has stepped forward yet so they have a ton of work to do. I would not have a POTUS candidate spend much time here either. That was a huge mistake for Hillary and most objective people here knew that.

Is she?  Or is she saying this to please her backers and the ‘anti-imperialist leftist’ base.

Beto’s voting record in the house shows he isn’t as progressive as you think, unless you think voting against ACA expansion and weakening relegation in Wall Street is progressive.

If by her backers you mean Assad and Putin, you might have a point. Otherwise she is blaming Dems and the Media for investigating Trump/Russia for a potential arms race. Also, Trump is not doing much of anything to prove he’s not Putin’s ****. In fact, given the lifting of sanctions recently on individuals it’s kinda the opposite.

Is this really a bad thing?  I don't think white people are exactly at risk of becoming an endangered species in the near future.  Also, when are we going to decide what a good population number is to just substain at?  Does population size always need to be growing?

Beto O’Rourke reports raising more than $6.1 million in first day of campaign, the highest total yet among presidential candidates

 

Quote

Beto O’Rourke reported raising more than $6.1 million during the first 24 hours of his presidential campaign, a record-setting haul that narrowly tops the amount announced by Sen. Bernie Sanders and dwarfs everyone else in the 2020 field.

 

O’Rourke was a fundraising juggernaut during his U.S. Senate race in Texas last year, but there were significant questions about whether that would translate to a national campaign where he was running against fellow Democrats, not Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.

 

The answer appears to be yes.

 

O’Rourke’s campaign said he raised $6,136,763 from donations that came from all 50 states, D.C., and every U.S. territory.

It's Thanos from Marvel's Avengers movie.  If you don't care about the spoilers, you can google the story line for why I made the reference.

 

Your original post is a thought provoking one though.  Was just trying to make a joke.🍻

Hes one of the heroes from the Marvel movies who cured world/universe hunger by reducing the amount of starving people in the universe by half. Instantly. 

 

He is also named after my dog for some reason.

Politics on Twitter, generally, is about making you feel bad. People are shamed for going to certain schools, for practicing a certain faith, for their gender, their race, or for using the wrong words, regardless of intent. Politics at the presidential level, the successful kind, could not be more different. Winning campaigns find a way to build coalitions, to unite people with shared values under an umbrella of charisma and a succinct message that rises above the din of Washington. This is how Democrats have won the presidency in the past. Maybe, in the Trump moment, politics calls for a sharper edge. But the Democrats who are confident in their reasons for running, and who aren’t afraid of what very smart people on Twitter say about them, are the ones likely to be rewarded.

1. Thoroughly enjoying the progressive panic at Beto's slowroll of his fundraising numbers. Also, calling him a 'white Obama' is not the finishing move you think it is.

 

2. Biden should be very worried about Beto.

[twa]

Biden has to worry about everyone going by his previous runs for POTUS. 

[visionary]

Oh...ok.

 

[LadySkinsFan]

Sanders, not even a Democrat, is divisive and toxic to other candidates.

My understanding is that Beto did not release the number of individual donors, so Bernie is just making an assumption based on very little and couching it as "more than likely" which is a nice piece of lawyering.

 

The more important question is, why even say anything?

Why would a politician take a opportunity to assert he has more individual supporters?

 

Is this a trick question.

 

The better question is why are the females falling so far behind in fundraising.

Bernie is a narcissist more than he is a socialist.
