I find it amusing that in a Massachusetts primary poll:
- Beto is ahead of a former Massachusetts governor
- Beto is way ahead of an incumbent Massachusetts Congressman
- Beto is basically tied with the incumbent Massachusetts Senator
Of course this applies to Bernie/Biden too, but nobody was even talking about Beto running for president a month ago, lol.
I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens in CA, NY etc. Beto is highly liked to get the support of educated, white liberal young voters.
Ofcourse this speaks particularly bad about Warren !
So basically it looks like, at the moment, if Biden and Bernie don't run, Beto starts off at 1st in the national polls before he even starts making any serious visible moves about running.
Maybe. Or Perhaps Beto-mania subsides in a month or 2. Sometimes there is euphoria for a while & hype & we will see what happens when the dust settles down. People have to wait till February-March & see what the polls say to have an idea if Beto is indeed that popular.
Then that is an initial start. Beto has to make inroads into minority, mid-western & non-college educated voters too.
Looks like Warren might be a worse candidate than Hillary. How is she 3rd in her home state behind Biden & Bernie ?
Also this craziness about Bernie, Warren & O'rourke running has to stop. All 3 can't run, split the progressive vote & hand over the race to Biden.
What's progressive about a fast track supporting New Democrat?
Just because someone was a New Democrat once doesn't mean he will never become a progressive. Elizabeth Warren was once a Republican.
Beto ran to the farthest left of any Senate candidate - Abolishing ICE, Impeaching Trump, Medicare for all, No PAC money & he ran a consultant free clean campaign.
