68. You need style to win against Trump. That's the reality when you go against a reality-star.

You have too much faith in the American people. Style is necessary to win in America.

You don't have to agree with Joe Kennedy. I already know that. You have made that very clear over and over and over again. LOL.

So what's your point in continuing to comment on my post? To get the last word?

Personally, I love that you keep arguing with me. Makes it so my post keeps getting views.

Thanks, bro!

Harris yes. Kennedy no. ZZenith Nov 2018 #1

We need name recognition and star-power against Trump. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #4

Ummmm. I don't see it. ZZenith Nov 2018 #10

Who else have the Democrats nominated that is from a dynasty in recent memory? TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #18

Joe Kennedy has spent his career helping the poor and under-privileged. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #28

And hoping to jail people for possessing some weed. ZZenith Nov 2018 #31

All 2020 candidates will have negatives. No candidate is perfect. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #33

And some negatives automatically rule them out amongst people of conscience. ZZenith Nov 2018 #38

Ok. Glad to know marijuana is your #1 issue. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #43

Defeating the fascist movement in this country is my #1 issue ZZenith Nov 2018 #45

So glad to hear marijuana isn't your #1 issue. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #46

Perhaps you haven't spent much time amongst the youth of this country ZZenith Nov 2018 #50

I disagree. And I'm 29 and live in weed crazy Oregon with two younger siblings. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #54

Well howdy neighbor. ZZenith Nov 2018 #62

All 2020 candidates will have negatives. No candidate is perfect. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #63

We're not a monarchy True_Blue Nov 2018 #70

I'm basing my opinion on charisma, star-power, and name-recognition when facing someone like Trump. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #73

Kamala Harris has star power & charisma True_Blue Nov 2018 #79

You didn't see the reaction to Joe Kennedy's Democratic response to Trump's State of the Union? TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #80

+ 100 question everything Nov 2018 #17

Biden/Beto would be better combination Cane4Dems Nov 2018 #2

Getting on Trump's level never works. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #5

Is that you, Joseph? ZZenith Nov 2018 #25

Beto as VP yes, but Biden no thanks, can we get some non soon-to-be 80 somethings please Celerity Nov 2018 #6

Yeah, I am leaning towards Kennedy marylandblue Nov 2018 #3

She represents the heart of the Democratic Party: women and minorities. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #7

I think he has a stiletto tongue to fight back against Trump's hammer marylandblue Nov 2018 #14

Thank you. ZZenith Nov 2018 #13

Flip the ticket and I might agree JonLP24 Nov 2018 #11

We can agree to disagree. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #19

I love Harris... jcgoldie Nov 2018 #12

I will never support Harris, nor Gillibrand, who were the first to demand Franken resign question everything Nov 2018 #16

Kennedy's Democratic response proves he can capture the youth vote (VIDEO): TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #22

Kennedy needs to "evolve" away from his 1950s style attitude on cannabis tritsofme Nov 2018 #20

Really? That's your criticism? TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #21

Yea, really. He is way out of step. tritsofme Nov 2018 #24

Views on weed are the least of my concern these days. We have much bigger fish to fry. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #26

Weed may seem like a not so serious issue... jcgoldie Nov 2018 #39

I'm pretty sure Kennedy can and will "evolve" on this issue. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #41

Thanks for that JonLP24 Nov 2018 #27

All 2020 candidates will have negatives. No candidate is perfect. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #30

But the youth will LOVE him, donchaknow? ZZenith Nov 2018 #29

Very true. Now you're getting it! TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #32

You've not convinced anyone of anything. ZZenith Nov 2018 #42

Neither have you? TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #44

Your enthusiasm seems to be preventing you from recognizing that your proposed ticket ZZenith Nov 2018 #47

Don't know me very well, do you, brother? ZZenith Nov 2018 #51

Nope. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #56

I am sure Joe Kennedy III is a decent enough chap. ZZenith Nov 2018 #60

But my point is that in a contest against reality-TV star Trump, we desperately need style. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #61

Over substance? ZZenith Nov 2018 #66

You need style to win against Trump. That's the reality when you go against a reality-star. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #68

You're welcome, bro! ZZenith Nov 2018 #71

Keep going, bro! TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #72

So is discernment, bro! ZZenith Nov 2018 #74

Why did you steal my bro thing? That's weird. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #75

Didn't realize you'd invented it. You can have it back, bro! ZZenith Nov 2018 #77

Thanks, bro! TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #78

Or vice versa. It's time for a woman president but I could live with your ticket. brush Nov 2018 #35

Sadly, sexism is still very prevalent in America as Hillary's candidacy proved. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #40

No. No. Sorry Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2018 #36

Who would you prefer? TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #37

Too early..but think about it ..Trump ate 16 opponents Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2018 #55

2020 is going to be absolutely brutal unless Trump is somehow Celerity Nov 2018 #82

Kamala Harris and Sherrod Brown or Beto O'Rourke Garrett78 Nov 2018 #48

Love Sherrod Brown. And I am serious...he needs Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2018 #58

I don't want either Harris or Brown in the VP slot dflprincess Nov 2018 #59

I meant Harris as President and either Brown or O'Rourke as VP. Garrett78 Nov 2018 #76

Harris and O'Rourke 2020 is the consensus of this thread Celerity Nov 2018 #67

Only cuz of what happened tonight. O'Rourke is a flash in the pan. But we shall see. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #69

Oh yes, wayyyyy too early. I do really like Kamala the best so far though. Celerity Nov 2018 #81

Beto is the new superstar and frontrunner in my book AlexSFCA Nov 2018 #83
