I will remain Undecided until after the debates, but at this moment I think he has the best chance of winning a general election.

1) He can flip Texas which would be monumental.
2) He can appeal to the midwest states.
3) He will mobilise young people as he did for his Senate run. The last thing we need is young people being demotivated. Beto is dynamic, full of ideas and youthful himself.
4) He does not have baggage. Frankly against Trump none of our field will come off worse on this point, but Beto is new generation therefore his record is recent and cannot be distorted.There is no looking back on 1990 politics through the lens of 2020.
5) He has Obama campaign veterans on his team who have been through this before.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
