Beto Blasts 'Baffling' Decision at This Weekend's DNC Meeting in San Fran

Jay Inslee would be disappointed. It seems just as soon as the Washington governor abandoned the 2020 election, the Democratic Party abandoned his climate change agenda. At a Democratic National Committee meeting in San Francisco over the weekend, party leadership voted down a plan to hold a climate-centered presidential debate. As you can see, climate activists were bitter - and vocal - about it.

Party delegates voted 222 to 137 against allowing candidates to participate in a debate dedicated to the topic, after a heated floor fight interrupted by protesters chanting “We can’t wait!” and “Failure of leadership!”

The bitter dispute at the party’s annual summer meeting in San Francisco threatened to reignite criticism on the left that Democratic leaders are squelching debate on one of the most important issues to young voters. And the delegates opposed a climate debate even though many of the presidential contenders have come out in favor of one.

Uh, 222 to 137? Seems popular to the casual observer. Perhaps there are some adults in the room and know the contestants for the dnc prize aren't really interested in talking about ghost issues. Or don't want the 2 or 3 hundred viewers to see just how stoopid they really are? Just sayin'. Now if they could just get away from the elderly rich white folks that apparently hold the three top spots. Self implosion in 3, 2,

Well, at least 222 of them at least have the common sense to stick a wet finger in the air and see which way the wind is blowing.

Climate change is a losing issue. I’m surprised there are enough half-wits in the dem party to realize it.

Beto is too stupid to realize that the SF DNC is one of the three towers of power for the RATS.

SF-Chicago-Boston

Boston what remains of the Kennedy Dynasty but you still have to kiss the ring.
Chicago is VJ
SF is the CA DNC and center for NEA-BLM-SEIU-Antifa militant armies.

NYC is just the message to The Machine.

As much as the radical left SCREAMS and Makes noise, they are not the majority of the party... which is why the more radically left the candidate is, the worse they will do in the general.

Sadly though, they need the whackadoos but have no idea how to control them...

Which proves not all Democrats are insane.

If you could turn Beto’s intellect to electricity, you wouldn’t be able to toast bread.

He makes the Empty Suit Barry look like a mental giant.

I suspect it takes very little to baffle Beto.

Obama's buying a beach front mansion on Martha's Vineyard... that tells us all we need to know about ocean's rising.

It means the polling data is in and most are not buying the lie that the world is turning into a pizza oven.

What’s baffling about it, Beto?

You never, ever tell the voters how badly you plan to screw them over until *after* they elect you.

Climate change is worse than a hoax.

It takes the environmental focus off of real pollutants and focuses it on Carbon Dioxide which is great for plants and does not produce significant additional warming as it increases.
