Beto of bravos and butthead game. Watching that guy talk is like watching a meth-head speak. He’s bouncing all the time and has to keep a rhythm going to stay on script.
He’s a total fabricated fake, much like obummer.

Yes there are foolish women who vote stupidly, but there are plenty of men who are equally guilty of making the same mistake.


I’ve never heard a man seriously talk about voting for a woman because of her looks. On the other hand, I’ve heard lots of women talking about voting for a man specifically because he looks so good. While JFK turned out okay, he specifically benefitted from this. I have several older women relatives who talked about how handsome JFK was even decades after his death.

That’s not to say men don’t vote foolishly. Just not for that specific reason.

He is not going to get it. He has committed the only sin RATs hold sacred: he lost. When you are the Totalitarian party, and they are, losing is unacceptable. Raw naked power is all these evil scum truly care about.

Beto is the Obama for 2020 - and, like Obama, backed just as much by every hard Leftist outfit in the country.

Americans really don't like phony.

Sure they do. That's how we got the Xlintons, Obamas & Hollywood nutcases.

The woman vote will be the deciding factor in 2020 and it is not always something to be looked upon as a positive thing.

The "cultural appropriation" thing is probably going to hurt him.

If your job went to Mexico, you aren't going to like a guy who pretends to be Mexican.

And if you are Mexican-American you may not love the guy who appropriates your heritage.

What apparently worked in El Paso may be play in the country as a whole.

Voters may get behind a White guy -- or a minority or woman candidate -- but somebody who's one thing but pretending to be another is going to confuse them.

But look - if the three other leading contenders are in their seventies - young folks will go with the guy who looks young.

Remember the drooling Kennedy cousin last year? Until the drooling incident, democrats were talking him up as presidential candidate material. Beto looks a little like a Kennedy, and that still motivates some people. I wonder if poor homely President Lincoln could have gotten elected in the age of t.v.and mass media?

He’s a skateboard riding Gen X Bubba Clinton. Underestimate him at your own risk.

I’ve never met a man who voted for a woman for political office based on her looks. No man is going to fantasize about a romp in the Lincoln bedroom with Amy Klobuchar or whoever.

Not yet anyway. Could change as more attractive women run for office.

Great point. He’s got a branding problem now. I suspect he will revert to his given name soon for his professional life.

Millennials and moderate women will back him. But the hard Left might just leave the Democrats and support the Green Party if a white male gets the nod - they have spent too much time and effort demonizing white males and would be unable to use half of their narratives if Beto is the nominee.

The Democrat nominee, however, will be who ever the Deep State wants. It's a must-win election for them.

You know, I’m from Texas. But at this point after LBJ and GHW Bush, and W, I am thinking there needs to be some kinda three strikes law for Texas.

Or a hockey penalty box maybe.

You are spot on. I remember when Bill Clinton was running, many of us were elated when he was nominated as he was going to be so easy to beat. Same with Obama.

Same with Hillary but fortunately we had Donald Trump running on our side. She would have beaten just about anybody else in the field.

The RATs are, more than likely, working on their “voter fraud” campaign and scouring cemeteries for voters.

I’ll give him “blandly good looking.” Same label I’d put on Tom Cotton.But you have to remember that when they were just emerging respectively the media told us that Clinton and Obama were handsome, and their wives beautiful and glamorous

Beta doesn't have to carry his own state. Gore would have won in 2000 without carrying Tennessee if he had carried New Hampshire. All Beta would need to do is win a few of the states Trump won by narrow margins in 2016.

On the other hand, the Democrats have not won with a white male Presidential nominee in this millennium.
