39. Sticking with Beto..

Still think he's our BEST chance of winning.

-The ONLY candidate that actually puts Texas in play.
-Not only does it put Texas in play for the presidency, his being on the national ticket would be mutually beneficial for both us nationally, and taking Cornyn out of the Senate seat in Texas. Hegar is drumming up some energy. Beto on the national ticket would get Texans out to vote for him helping Hegar out, and the energy Hegar is raising would help him get over that threshold to pull in Texas' 38 electoral votes.

If we get the Texas 38, it's over for Trump.. don't need anyone else.. don't need those trump states in the mid-west, don't need florida. If we can get some of those too.. then bonus.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
