To beat Cheetolini we need a candidate who can lead a movement. I'm not convinced anyone else can as well as BETO

If I were to vote in a presidential

Right or wrong, I actually see him as something of a younger Joe Biden.

Sounds backhanded?

I'm not a Biden fan, unless he wins the nom then I am THE BIGGEST BIDEN FAN EVER.

the same kind of people even if often in different generations.

It's as you say. If Biden was lagging and O'Rourke looking like our best chance, the polls would switch big time.

I don't think he'll be picked for VP either. I feel the base really wants a woman/PoC to be represented, maybe just as a F-U to this sexist/racist Republican president.

The El Paso shooting was on August 3 and he came out more strongly for gun control and gun confiscation. He started swearing in front of reporters to show how serious he is.

Nationally he peaked thereafter on August 19 at 3.5% and has slumped ever since.

He's currently hovering around 3.2%.

His movement is weak.

He piqued the national interest after he announced. His high was 9.5% in April 2019.
