She hasn't served in Washington for long enough. Not enough experience. She needs a few more years under her belt. She can't get to 270. Winning is too important. She needs to just drop out and fight McConnell to let the Senate vote on Gun Control.

moving from running for president to running for Senate, Randy?

It would be hard to spin, huh. Any ideas? I mean you kinda have to say, people didn't want me as prez so I am now trying for Senate? Would love to hear a good spin.

I do think if someone does want to do it, the sooner the better...like before they are locked out of an upcoming debate?

The LAST thing Texas needs is a contentious Senate primary.

MJ Hegar running for Senate, and Beto on the national Ticket is THE ticket to give Texas the best chance of flipping this cycle, and a Texas flip means both a POTUS AND a net gain of +1 in the Senate.

I heard Tim Ryan, when asked on MSNBC, start off talking about background checks and guns. He lost whatever chance he had to get my support by not starting out stating the Trump's a white nationalist and his hateful rhetoric is inciting his fellow white nationalists to violence.

I await VP Biden's statement directly naming Trump as culpable in the El Paso massacre.
