If you watch the video and not just read the write up, you would know that it was an unofficial neighborhood gathering to spread support for Beto. Not a Beto sponsored event. This is similar to how Beto mania spread throughout Texas. Lots of grassroot promoters working in small circles and then Beto hitting every county. Was very effective with Beto doing far better than he should have in Texas.
If he runs, I will vote for him.
Of course you will vote for a socialist. :icon_roll:Quote:

O'Rourke says sorry for joke about wife, creepy murder fiction about killing kids
2020 Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke was forced Friday to offer two apologies, one for a campaign joke about how he and his wife raise their children and another about an edgy short story about running over kids that he wrote when he was 15.
In a taping of the “Political Party Live” podcast in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he apologized for a campaign joke he made on a number of occasions -- in which he quipped that his wife, Amy, raised their children “sometimes with my help.”
YOUNG BETO O'ROURKE WROTE 'MURDER FANTASY' ABOUT RUNNING OVER CHILDREN WAS PART OF FAMED HACKING GROUP: REPORT
While the jest picked up chuckles on the campaign trail, he apparently ruffled some feathers, with The New York Times reporting that his comments “elicited both laughter and derision” and cited tweets that criticized him for unwittingly exposing the double standard between male and female candidates.
“This is not the first time Mr. O’Rourke has been accused of appearing to revel in his advantages as a white male in an increasingly diverse Democratic Party,” the Gray Lady declared.
That criticism was quickly acknowledged by Beto.
"Not only will I not say that again, but I'll be more thoughtful going forward in the way that I talk about our marriage, and also the way in which I acknowledge the truth of the criticism that I have enjoyed white privilege," he said on the podcast.
"So yes, I think the criticism is right on. My ham-handed attempt to try to highlight the fact that Amy has the lion's share of the burden in our family -- that she actually works but is the primary parent in our family, especially when I served in Congress, especially when I was on the campaign trail -- should have also been a moment for me to acknowledge that that is far too often the case, not just in politics, but just in life in general. I hope as I have been in some instances part of the problem, I can also be part of the solution," he said in comments reported by CNN.
He also addressed a Reuters report that, as a 15-year-old, he wrote stories under the name “Psychedelic Warlord” -- including one the narrator's murder spree as part of his goal seeking "the termination of everything that was free and loving." The piece described the first kill as the murder of two children crossing the street.
It reads: “Then one day, as I was driving home from work, I noticed two children crossing the street. They were happy, happy to be free from their troubles. I knew, however, that this happiness and sense of freedom were much too overwhelming for them.
“This happiness was mine by right. I had earned it in my dreams. As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two. I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head.”
O’Rourke had earlier dismissed the writings: "It was stuff that I was a part of as a teenager that I’m not proud of today, and I mean that’s the long and short of it.”

I would be shocked if Trump read anything. Writing something? No way!
Now that Beto's tax returns show he attempted to commit tax fraud (2013 & 2014) that should mean he is effectively eliminated from the race. Of course, he is already eliminated given the polling numbers! After all, isn't that what the Dems HOPE to find in Trump's returns, some reason to impeach him?
But, no, unlike the hysterical left I don't consider what Beto did...twice...to be "tax fraud" or be a reason he couldn't/shouldn't hold the office of POTUS. There are plenty of other reasons that bozo should never be elected. Given the good ole double standard though, it's always okay for a Dem to have gaffes in tax returns, campaign financing law, conflicts of interest, etc... it's just not okay for a Repub to. Just pointing out another example of the hypocrisy of the left.
I would think that you guys would be more concern about Pete.
I'm not concerned about any Dem candidate. But, I only mentioned this because it was Beto, not Pete, who had the tax return issue.Quote:

At this point in the 2016 cycle, Scott Walker was the leader for the GOP.
See! It always happens that way. I do think crazy Bernie and creepy Joe will be in the running, should JB choose to run, all the way to the end. The field of 20-whatever will quickly narrow after Iowa, NH, and now California. There will be maybe 5 left by the time of South Carolina.Quote:

Even when they get out?
All supported Medicare for all.. my question is does this include all of the world? They all want open borders so how would we be able to pay for all of this?
Ms Warren wants student loan forgiveness and Medicare for all.. My question is what about those people who had loans and paid them off? Can we get reimbursed for what we paid for college in today's dollars? I think reparations are in order..
Many were apparently supportive of the green new deal.. Someone threw out a number on a radio show today that the new green deal would cost every household in the US 600K over 10 years.
All of this stuff is stupid, no one except low IQ people living on both east and west coasts would believe it.
If we are going to forgive a ton of current student debt(which no one made them do at gun point) and make public colleges “free”, then I say my mortgage and auto loans should be refunded and cancelled. After all, I voluntarily signed for those loans, just like a college student does theirs.
Someone should ask them if we are going to pay for college educations through cafeteria funding. “Yes sir, that burger and fries will be $72.36. Oh, you want a drink? Make it an even $80.”
What if public college was free pending your graduation? If you drop out, flunk out, or go pro before your graduation day, then you owe the full cost of tuition, books, and room and board. College enrollment would probably plummet 30-40%, but the students would most likely be more suited to that route. Anyone who doesn’t enroll can go straight into the workforce and start paying taxes that pay for students who will earn a degree.
Joe Biden opens with a lead over everybody, including Trump by 8 points. Unless he does something really, really stupid, and I guess groping women doesn't qualify as being stupid (not for a (D)), he's got the Dem nomination. He is 1st choice for 30% of Dem voters and 2nd choice for the remaining 70%. As the 20+ candidates drop out, Biden will pick up their supporters.
Then it'll be Biden vs. Trump. Biden would have won this matchup in 2016, and I said as much back then. In 2020, who knows? I tend to think Biden has the edge because of Trump's mouth/Tweets, and the lying, conniving lamestream media. Of course, no one gave Trump a chance in 2016, so until it actually happens, I won't count Trump out.
Hard to say.. several in MSM have already started going after Joe because he's "old white guy". Many of the "new democrats" are Bernie supporters because they are young and want socialism.. (see AOC). AOC even said Joe doesn't do anything for her. I think it will be very interesting to watch, because they all have the same "Orange man Bad" mantra, so when it comes to policies, they are trying to out left and socialize each other to stand out.Quote:

Followed by 11 more primaries before the end of March, including Michigan, Illinois, and Florida. That's 28 primaries before March 31, 2020.
Most of the 20+ candidates will be long gone by March 31. What's left will be a handful, with a clear front-runner firmly in place. If Biden is leading at that point, he's got it.
One note on California, which of course is the BIGGIE for Dems. I understand early voting will start in Cal on Feb 3, the day of the Iowa Caucus. That means Dems will have to be campaigning in Cal before Feb 3. In the past candidates, both parties, concentrated on Iowa. Can't afford to ignore Cal or wait until after NH to start campaigning in Cal. If you do, you might have already lost Cal and thus the nomination.
Well ole Beto is done.. he was a flash in the pan.. MSM has moved onto other candidates.
Beto only draws 35 people at rally in Las Vegas.. Sorry Guissy.

Their only hope is to pair one of the young guys (as VP) with Harris or Booker.
My qualms with Trump have been discussed ad nauseam, but the DNC is a train wreck right now. No leadership outside of Pelosi (who has been effective) and no unifying charge. They're letting the left-most wing of the party continue this impeachment mantra (which the public does not support) when they should be trying to get behind healthcare or something else the country agrees with them on.
Shaping up for another circus freakshow come 2020. Damning for the country? Probably. Good entertainment? Definitely. As they say, you get the government you most deserve.
The country does NOT agree with the Dems on healthcare.
Good post. The Dems have become a pure Socialist Party which is also amoral, intolerant haters, anti-semitic and anti-God in general and for this they should and will lose by a large margin IMHO.Quote:

Biden has taken a HUGE early lead. But, as was pointed out by a pundit, Krooked Killary enjoyed a similar lead in the demo race at this point in 2007. And she did not get the nomination.
Right now, they are all united against Trump. The problem is that they don't really differentiate themselves from one another. All 220 can't be the nominee. They will have to turn on each other soon to differentiate themselves.Quote:

“He's proposing a buyback program where Americans who currently have those guns could sell them essentially to the government, but if they don't, within a certain period of time, they would be prosecuted ... thrown in jail, perhaps. Are you supportive of the same?
”Booker, 50, responded affirmatively that the law would be enforced with criminal sanctions after a “reasonable period." He had said earlier: "The critical thing is, I think most Americans agree, that these weapons of war should not be on our streets."
Thank goodness we have the Constitution and the Supreme Court.

Some interesting quotes from the report:
"The evidence supports the inference that the President intended (former campaign Chairman Paul) Manafort to believe that he could receive a pardon, which would make cooperation with the government as a means of obtaining a lesser sentence unnecessary."
“The President's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests."
“[T]he investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts..."
"Michael Flynn -- who would later serve as national security adviser in the Trump Administration -- recalled that Trump made the request repeatedly, and Flynn subsequently contacted multiple people in an effort to obtain the emails,"
No collusion and no obstruction in an investigation that took almost 2 years and cost $40,000,000. Get over your obsession with our President. Nobody gives a shit what you and your lying democrats think.Quote:
