OTOH, it can't hurt him in any way to pursue his options...especially with many folks helping him. After the Kennedy sorrows and political gulf for decades of the absence of liberal candidates with character and national charisma...count me in.

I love Julian Castro, but somehow I don't think it's his time...I don't exactly know why.

But with Beto, I could actually get excited about politics again !!

Clinton lost because of James Comey. Without his illegitimate actions she would have won easily. StevieM Nov 2018 #9

She would have won narrowly minus Comey Awsi Dooger Nov 2018 #16
