What was Beto thinking? left-of-center2012 Nov 2019 #1

Maybe, he was campaigning for VP SCantiGOP Nov 2019 #2

No, we need a person of color to run with Warren. That's Cory Booker. CTyankee Nov 2019 #39

He'd make a great vp pick...I am not counting him out. nt Baltimike Nov 2019 #3

no left-of-center2012 Nov 2019 #4

yes Baltimike Nov 2019 #9

No way. Exactly. cwydro Nov 2019 #11

Agreed customerserviceguy Nov 2019 #30

I have a hard time believing he is on anyone's VP short list. tritsofme Nov 2019 #12

Exactly, would bring way more negatives than he could possibly help maximusveritas Nov 2019 #16

He's not really qualified for any of the big cabinet spots. tritsofme Nov 2019 #21

Well he's as qualified as anyone serving in Trump's cabinet. maximusveritas Nov 2019 #40

Cabinet positions aren't consolation prizes. He's made his choices tritsofme Nov 2019 #41

I don't think so for several reasons. nt Blue_true Nov 2019 #33

I am not sure if Beto thought he had a chance. SCVDem Nov 2019 #5

There are several candidates running. RLG Nov 2019 #14

You might want to look up the definition of "usurped." cwydro Nov 2019 #17

Saw that! SCVDem Nov 2019 #19

The positions he's taken during this presidential bid have likely left him unviable tritsofme Nov 2019 #23

My guess is he runs for Mayor of his city, rebuild his political career, Blue_true Nov 2019 #35

This is just the beginning... he has a VERY bright future in the Democratic party. NurseJackie Nov 2019 #15

You are young, and have a bright future ahead of you Beto!!! Peacetrain Nov 2019 #20

Its shocking that promising to take people's rifles away didn't save his campaign. aikoaiko Nov 2019 #22

Shocking that people refuse to acknowledge how significant this was in ending his campaign Devil Child Nov 2019 #24

He was sinking long before that. Tipperary Nov 2019 #36

"Hell yeah !" left-of-center2012 Nov 2019 #25

Agreed n/t Devil Child Nov 2019 #37

I think his swearing turned off some voters left-of-center2012 Nov 2019 #28

Maybe, Turin_C3PO Nov 2019 #29

I wish others that are polling where he was makes the same decision. nt Blue_true Nov 2019 #32
