Beto, I would want him as my best friend if I were running for president 2020

I don't know how Beto will end up in this filled to the brim field. After last night, for the most part, I do appreciate their fire for the people of this country.

If he does not win the nomination, I hope whoever does, courts him for the duration of the election season. My daughter lives and works in Austin, Texas. Austin is not representative of Texas politics. That said, she is active in politics, working very hard with Dem groups to get citizens registered to vote. Beto, she says, was amazing in areas some did not think possible.

Even though Beto lost to Cruz, she learned a great deal about Beto. He is PERSUASIVE. He came very close to winning and we need to turn the state blue. He can help accomplish this goal, he is the guy you want as your best friend going into the general if you're the nominee.

This is Texas, and this young man is not to be dismissed.

That is all!

1. I like Beto. I think there's a future for him in nat'l politics.

I wouldn't mind if he were VP, but I guess two men on the ticket isn't going to happen. Buttigieg as VP would be good, too. I think both of the B&Bs have a great future in national politics.

[BeckyDem]

2. They do, no doubt in my mind about it.

They have a lot to offer!

3. I like how Castro handled his business...

And I like Beto O’Rourke. He has a very bright future. I hope he doesn’t fade into the private sector.

[BeckyDem]

4. I know this morning's conversation is about how they tussled?

What I saw was fire for the people, and I agree, they each have a future, indeed a bright one.

5. Yep, it was just one debate and I think the media plays the biggest role in picking

who the winner is. I though they all did a great job and would be proud to vote for all except Ryan and that is becuase I do not agree with his WAR stance.

[BeckyDem]

6. Totally. Ryan was disappointing on that score.

7. I like Mayor Pete very, VERY mich.

I've started leaning towards E Warren, though, I've always liked her politics and the THOUGHT she puts into her positions and proposals, so it was a close call between the two for me. I think she might well be a little more electable, though.

That means everything in this coming election.

8. I think Beto is much more impressive out in the field with voters than in a debate hall

It's unfortunate that the debates can reflect poorly on certain candidates who might be stellar in every other aspect of campaigning. If I was on a debate stage trying to remember all my rehearsed answers, I'd be having homina homina moments on a regular basis.

[BeckyDem]

9. Yes, agreed and it has to be stressful to be up there.
