24. When he says "Beto on the ticket with Harris," I read that as Harris-O'Rourke. And he's right.

I think a Harris-O'Rourke ticket would produce record-breaking Democratic turnout.

All this talk about needing to nominate a white male centrist in order to flip Trump voters in PA/MI/WI is utter nonsense. Way too much analysis is being based on a highly unique set of 2016 circumstances. Many factors were at play then that won't be in 2020. And way too many continue to buy into the false narrative about "white working class economic anxiety" leading to Trump's "win."

Turning out the base (particularly POC and young people) in greater numbers than in 2016 will be the key to winning in 2020. The sharp contrast of Harris-O'Rourke vs. Trump-Pence is what we need.

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