I will say it right now! Beto For President 2020

I never thought that after tonight I/we would get a break! Tomorrow the Presidential election starts and I am ready! Sometimes you cannot see the full picture, and I truly believe Beto is meant for FAR MORE than the office he was running for.

Bring it on! In the words of Andrew Gillum, Bring It Home! Anything it possible! O'Rourke / Gillum 2020 or Gillum / O'Rourke 2020! This is a marathon people, and tonight is only the first step!

We won the house! And many Governorships!!!! Rest, for a few days.... Then let's go!

I like them both, but dream on — each of them has to show he can win his most recent race before even considering a presidential run.

President Clinton and President Obama went oh-for-Texas in four elections. Losing in Texas doesn't mean he'd lose nationwide. Beto would have MASSIVE national appeal. And imagine him on stage beside Trump. He would make Trump look even older, more bloated, and more poisonous. It would be the biggest TV contrast since the Kennedy-Nixon debate.

After watching how those two gentlemen handled themselves, I'm pretty sure a ticket with them on it would wipe up the floor with Trump in a general election. Gillum has zero fear of bullies and can dish it out when necessary. And we already know how impressive Beto is.
