(2,113 posts)Is that what you are saying there is no evidence of? Beto flipped two reliably Republican House of Representative seats in Texas blue, helping Democrats take control of the House. He helped elect 17 black women as judges in Texas. How is that not evidence? He also already has volunteers on the ground in 48 out of 50 states AND American Samoa out canvassing. On top of that...he has a massive grassroots ARMY of volunteers in Texas he can mobilize. If Democrats take Texas then Trump loses even if he were to sweep the rust belt.
Beto is also the best all around candidate. Progressives would not have to sacrifice the policies they want while still having a candidate who appeals to moderates. Beto is young, more energy than a fully wound up Energizer Bunny and he has MORE charisma than anyone else, including Trump. He has proven he has impressive policy chops with his Climate Change Plan, too. Beto is a safe choice without compromise.
Biden is my number two and he was my number one until I began listening to Beto answer questions and he won me over and convinced me that he's the real deal. Winning is most important, absolutely...and I am 100% convinced that Beto can win even more decisively than Biden could...and I think the debates will show that.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
