Even if Trump is still around to run in 2020 someone needs to make sure that Mit is on the ballot in Utah.

That doesn't narrow it down at all.

The video is also more professional than most of his Senate stuff. I am guessing he will announce in 7 to 14 days.

As for the 2020 midterms the Senate map is tough for Republicans. Then after repairing the gerrymandering in 2021 the Democrats could pick up 10 to 20 seats in the house negating whatever gains Republicans might get. The other question is what platform can Republicans use in 2020? Racism? Tax cuts for the rich? Blocking healthcare for pre-existing conditions? Selling out to the Russians and Chinese? Those have already run their course.

In Michigan and Wisconsin nearly 50,000 voters voted for Bernie in the primary and Trump in the general and it was nearly 115,000 in Pennsylvania. Bernie supporters gave us president Trump, which is unforgivable.

Yep. That is a significant percentage of escape velocity. It would create a fireball, and I have serious doubts that it is maneuverable in any controlled way other than on a relatively fixed path.

They have not internalized the fact that there will be a lot of progressive choices this time, many of whom are better liked by a camera and more charismatic.

What made you think Hillary is liberal?

The Bernie bros elected Trump, and it looks like they are preparing to reelect him.

Sirota is working way too hard at this this far out. Beto supporters will become immune to these criticisms long before the primaries. If anything he is doing Beto a favor.

I saw a report that total healthcare costs are now 3.5 trillion dollars or over $10,700 per person. The present system is untenable as we could be looking at 6 trillion a year in 10 years. It is clear that we must make substantial changes to get costs under control.

What if the creditors are Russian oligarchs laundering money?

I would like to see one of the Castro brothers takes on Cornyn with Beto running for president. I think gives the best chance of flipping Texas.

Impeach him the day after he wins the Republican nomination. Then complain about McConnell refusing to start the trial in the Senate.

Well done

The longer I live in the Philippines the more American woman I think would be mistaken for ladyboys if they were on Walking Street.

He did a great job getting in and staying in the spotlight with town halls. I think his election campaign starts with the same formula and he has no problem keeping the spotlight on him. Over time he will only get better and adapt to nationwide strategies.

When a critique has no intellectual basis I consider it an attack. The O&G money is a good example. In order to make a valid comparison to other politicians one must consider the donations as a percentage of their total while factoring in the percentage of GDP that O&G has in their state or district. It is also important to distinguish small individual donations from PACs. Given the percentage of Beto's total donations and the percentage of state GDP, Beto did not receive very much from the O&G sector and it was individual contributions. The M4A thing is similarly irrational. Progressives claim that if you don't support M4A a person is not a progressive when M4A is only a label and has nothing really to do with a realistic implementation such as Bernie's 2017 bill. Realizing that, Beto refers to the more generalized term universal healthcare. The progressives then say he is wisshy-washy or not progressive and a centrist, and can probably be manipulated by big healthcare to stop M4A. Then the centrist and rightist Dems and big healthcare are thinking Beto and Biden are both going to stop M4A, so they are good candidates for them. None of us know how hard Beto would push for M4A if elected or if he would cave to corporate interests. The kill ICE thing is another. Beto did not line up behind killing ICE because he recognizes that there are a number of ways to restructure the immigration system, so progressives say he is not progressive enough. This is a stupid attack, not a rational critique.

There are already programs written that do this and aren't as expensive as consultants.

The 2 million plus voters who vote in 2020 who did not vote in 2018 will come almost entirely from urban and suburban areas.

The last couple weeks have been interesting as it seems that Obama supporters are gravitating to Beto and more broadly centrists are as well as they move away from Biden. Mainstream media is using a lot more Beto photos to headline articles about the race instead of Biden. The Democratic machine looks like it is trying to cut off a crazy 20 person primary race by determining the favorites early. The far left progressives that I listen to are ramping up their attacks on Beto, saying he is not progressive enough. They are still focused on Bernie or maybe Warren, but the Indian thing has cost Warren a lot. The progressive media seems to think that the centrists will put their support behind Beto and make him the favored candidate of the party machine. Assuming Beto announces in early January it will be interesting to see how rapidly supporters come out for him.

There will be over 2 million people who vote in Texas in 2020 who did not vote in 2018. How do you know how they will vote? Perhaps a million of them may be under 30 and they alone could make up the 216,000 Beto lost by. Beto looks healthy and level-headed next to Trump.

In that case the house dems should refuse to approve his replacement.

What? You don't go to bars where stuff like that happens?

To the op. I do know a guy in his mind 60s who likes to show a bar girl a 50 peso note (~90 cents) and when she comes over he puts his hands inside her top to play with her titties and tweaks her nipples and then sticks the 50 in her panties and sticks a finger inside her leaving the 50. He will usually do that to 10 girls in each club he goes too. He says he does it so they remember him, especially if he decides to ask them over for boom-boom and bj later for which he refuses to pay more than $13. While none of the girls like it, many allow it since the money means they can get some food later, particularly the ones who are new or not so good looking. A kilo of rice costs 40-50 pesos, so it is a pretty big deal to many people. I cannot personally be that disrespectful to a woman and don't care to hang out with him. He does have people copy him around AC if that is what makes you happy.
