Democrats: Would you vote for Ron Wyden/Henry Cuellar?

These results should be interesting.

I would be pumped up for the chance to put a Democrat from Tejas in the Naval Observatory.

FTFY.

I wish someone could replace the bottom of the ticket - Cuellar is pretty gross for a Dem in a Safe D district.

A D+7 has the potential to be flipped. Keep in mind this is a state George P. Bush won by 26% in 2014. Since Texas is R+10, all it takes is someone who would win statewide by 34%.

I don't understand why any Democrat would have sufficient issue with Ron Wyden to vote for a non-Democratic candidate. If you do, you should probably reevaluate your partisan allegiance because Wyden is really damn close to Generic D.

Cuellar I understand the objections to, but I'm not that upset by a bad VP choice, and he's not offensive to my sensibilities even if I disagree with him on a fair amount.

Wyden is somewhat to the right of Generic D on economic issues and maybe a bit too pro-gun. His top appeal to the base is probably civil liberties and most social issues besides guns. I put Cuellar as his running-mate to accentuate that he is not exactly Generic D for the country.

However, Wyden is pretty close to, if not the definition of, Generic D for Oregon.
