An early straw poll of members of the progressive group MoveOn.org shows a wide-open competition for liberal voters in the 2020 Democratic presidential contest, with Rep. Beto O'Rourke narrowly beating out former Vice President Joe Biden.

3. Beto is young, intelligent, good looking and

can think on his feet. Winning combination. Look, how close he came to beating Cruz in Texas!!

4. My preference is Sherrod Brown.

He's no spring chicken but, unlike the pushing-80 Biden, he's still an acceptable age for a president.

5. When I see things like this I

see how trump came to be. It amazes me how quickly some support the flavor of the month . I think Beto has a bright future ahead of him but certainly not President yet.

6. These polls are meaningless. Ron Paul always did great in these straw polls.

And, as for polls in general at this juncture, it's all about name recognition.

7. The support for Beto is a response to Trump being president.

We have a despicable, thoroughly unlikable, completely unqualified dunce in the White House who has completely lowered the bar for being president. Even a congressman with only marginal experience seems like a breath of fresh air compared to that asshole.
