Beto Derangement Syndrome is now afflicting Democrats. He's the 3rd choice for Democrats for 2020 after Biden and Sanders. Really!

https://spectator.org/calling-orourke/

"One of the more mystifying outcomes of the recent midterms, particularly as the nation reflects on the full life and multifarious accomplishments of George H.W. Bush, has been the elevation of Robert Francis O’Rourke to the top tier of potential presidential contenders. In response to a recent Morning Consult poll, registered Democrats ranked the losing Senate candidate among their top three preferences for the party’s 2020 nomination. They favored “Beto” over Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Sherrod Brown, et al. The only two potential candidates who ranked higher than the Texas congressman were septuagenarians Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.

Part of O’Rourke’s popularity is due, of course, to the amount of sycophantic media coverage he has received pursuant to his failed bid to unseat Senator Ted Cruz. The volume and tone of this coverage should not be contemplated during or immediately after eating. Politico, for example, just published a lengthy piece comparing Beto to Abraham Lincoln. I’m not kidding. And Politico is by no means the only publication to do so. In fact, O’Rourke has himself suggested a none-too-subtle connection between his own career and that of the Great Emancipator. Three weeks ago he published a solipsistic blog post about a morning run, which took him (Surprise!) to the Lincoln Memorial:..."

Come to think of it, I favor O'Rourke over Warren, Booker, Harris, and Brown. Probably over Bernie and Biden too.

As contemptible as democrats find old white men these days it's puzzling to me why they would favor two of the oldest, whitest men in national office today.

As of today, I'm leaning towards Beto.

If nothing else, he's a damn hard worker. He ran circles around Ted Cruz and will out hustle Trump. He will also outraise him. The GOP threw a bunch of negative ads at him and they didn't really work.

My first preference is Hickenlooper. But I'm not sure he's going to make it through.

I'm doubtful that Bernie really is going to gain much traction this time. He might be a nominal front runner for a while in a large field, but I don't think the Dems are going to nominate someone who isn't even a Democrat. Most Democrats have no patience for internal backfighting.

You aren't going to beat Trump with a nice guy. Honestly, Crooked Hillary is probably your best choice.

As an adult, he ran from a DWI accident he caused and then lies about it now. His mom is connected to money laundering. I don't think that qualifies as a "nice guy." He just has a "nice smile."

All of that was put on TV, non-stop here in Texas. And people didn't buy it. Here's the opposition file on Beto. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/beto-o...ity-check/

There's a DWI accident while he was in his 20s, an accusation (but no charges) of fleeing the scene of said DWI accident, and a 15k investment that might have run afoul of insider trading laws (and he was cleared on that).

Then his dad had some drugs in his car when Beto was 10 years old. And his mother ran a store where she didn't fill out some paperwork for cash purchases and got behind on her taxes.

All you got is the DWI really. He owns up to it. And he's running against Trump.

We love you Beto..oh yes we do....

Yep, he trespassed onto a college campus once. Big friggin' whoop.

If he runs, he'll be running against Donald Trump. No one is going to worry about a piddling 15k Twitter investment that he maintains was done without his knowledge or what he did when he was in his 20s.

Its a trap for you guys to ignore Beto's campaigning and messaging by simply trying to run against Beto the 22 year old. Especially when Trump is going to be the alternative. But you are free to fall into that trap.

They're negative ads if they're not true. In his case they are very, very true. He's about as capable as Oblunder and you know what Oblunder did before he became president, right, a communist, er, community organizer.

Beto is about as qualified to be president as I am and guess what? I'm not qualified in the least, as he isn't either.

He was 26. Its not a smear when you tell the truth. Smear is what Democrats do.
It indicates a profound lack of judgement as an adult.

Republicans need to run against Robert the commie.

The left isn't going to be able to coalesce behind anyone. I saw a story about how Tulsi was in NH recently, and ALL the comments on it were about how she is an assad agent.

The alt-left has turned on bernie, and he will never get the blessing of the party. Is he even eligible? I think new rules mandate that you have to be a declared dem.

booker is a big pharma pawn.

camila is corrupt lawyer with a horrible personality. The Midwest isn't going to vote for a californian when there's still needles & feces in her streets. Fix california before you try to "fix" America.

gillabrand has #metoo problems.

robert o'rourke pounds soy, and is a loser and a fraud. He also has campaign finance problems, as well as a class-action lawsuit against him.

Better get it together quick, or you know who is going to pounce.

TBH, I think Klobuchar should be the favorite. She's the only one that came out of the Kavanaugh hearings looking even remotely sane.

Biggest challenger to DJT...

There is no one at this level.


Biden
Jeff Flake (I)


Oprah




Baydough


Commie Sanders






Best of the Rest




















Hillary
CPL

Tulsi Gabbard is NOT going to be the nominee. She's batsh*t crazy and the Assad stuff is a non-starter too. She is positively LOATHED by rank and file Democrats too.

The class action suit is a yawner. And the campaign finance stuff is really pedestrian stuff.

Again, with Beto, there's really not much there. Other than the DUI that he owns up to.

I don't think Putin is going to want Beto to win. That alone will be tough to overcome. I hope he hasn't committed any crimes via email.

If they were republicans they would be in the federal pen.

Wasnt it just a year or so ago that the left was getting on their knees and blowing this guy? What happened?
