Like I said, radicals won't like her as evidenced by various headcase types in this thread. Sane and rational democrats need not apply.
Exactly, Beto is not far left enough which is why Bernie is attacking him. Beto also loses his fake latino power when he is up against a real latino from his own state, Julian Castro. Castro can't speak Spanish so get ready for some awkward moments when Beto says something in Spanish and Julian Castro can't participate. Get ready for the ultimate identity politics battle royale!
Beto inspires and raises money like Obama.Came within 2.5 points in Texas,better than both Obama and Hillary.GOP last won that seat by 25 and 16 points.At the rate Texas has been moving left Beto takes Texas in 2020 and crushes Trump in swing states
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tulsi-gabbard-homophobic-remarks_us_5c3a6030e4b01c93e00a5952 Tulsi Gabbard’s Homophobic Remarks Surface After 2020 Presidential Announcement The Hawaii Democrat’s previous stance on same-sex marriage has come back to haunt her after she announced her bid for the White House. It’s been one day since Rep.Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) announced she was running for president in the 2020 election, and parts of her conservative past are already coming back to haunt her. Those come in the form of homophobic remarks the congresswoman made over a decade ago. At least twice the Hawaii Democrat publicly called the LGBTQ community and supporters of same-sex marriage “homosexual extremists.” In one instance in February 2004, Gabbard, at the time a 22-year-old state representative, was testifying against a bill aimed at legalizing same-sex civil unions. “To try to act as if there is a difference between ‘civil unions’ and same-sex marriage is dishonest, cowardly and extremely disrespectful to the people of Hawaii,” she said. “As Democrats, we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists.” Six months later, Gabbard spoke more candidly while replying to an email originally sent to her father, Mike Gabbard, who was a Republican city councilman in Honolulu running for Congress. “I smell a skunk,” Gabbard told Honolulu Magazine. She was responding to an email that was originally addressed to her father asking about his ties to the leader of a Hare Krishna movement in Hawaii, according to the magazine. “It’s clear to me that you’re acting as a conduit for The Honolulu Weekly and other homosexual extremist supporters of Ed Case [Mike Gabbard’s opponent],” she wrote. Gabbard was elected to the U.S. House in 2012 and became the first Hindu member of Congress, as well as one of Congress’ first female combat veterans. She quickly became a star of the Democratic Party with her own rogue brand of progressive leadership. Gabbard’s remarks from 14 years ago were bound to resurface as she walked even further into the national spotlight with her presidential bid. And while Gabbard, 37, has evolved since then ― she once backed a bill targeting discrimination based on sexual orientation and famously endorsed Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid at the expense of her post as Democratic National Committee vice chair ― some people, including journalists from Hawaii to D.C., wouldn’t let her off easy for her homophobic remarks. Gabbard may back legislation that supports the LGBTQ community, but it’s unclear if her personal views have evolved with her career. A 2016 profile of the combat veteran published in Ozy suggests otherwise: “She tells me that, no, her personal views haven’t changed, but she doesn’t figure it’s her job to do as the Iraqis did and force her own beliefs on others,” noted reporter Sanjena Sathian.
Shes a republican who runs as a democrat because it gives her a better chance to win in left leaning HI.She learned that from her homophobic father who was a republican until 2007
The rumor mill is saying Beto may run. I like Biden and looks like he's all there. Would be disastrous if he drops dead campaigning though. Beto's not mean enough so I'd take Kamala for now.
Biden with Kamala as VP as long as they do not do too much damage to each other in the primaries. Beto could fund raise and still be useful, but you are right, he is not mean enough.
Obama proved you don't have to be.So did Beto in Texas where he came within 2.5 points for a seat that was previously won by 25 and 16 points.
Sherrod Brown might be a major player.Biden,Beto,Brown and Harris might be the strongest in the primaries.Brown takes Ohio .Beto takes Texas.Harris takes CA and large portion of the black vote.Biden takes a lot of states that don't have a resident candidate and they have to fight it out for the rest.Should be interesting.Any combination of the 2 would be a hell of general election ticket that would easily beat Trump imo.
That was Beto against a republican. What happens when Beto goes against his own in the primaries? He might not be mean enough to survive the attacks of the Bernie crowd. They are already gunning for Beto. Look at like this, who can survive the primaries AND beat Trump? Biden seems like he could do it. If that answer is not good enough for you then enjoy 4 more years of pulling out "but we won the popular vote!" while Trump is in for another 4 years.
