(63,889 posts)31. From your perspective, what ticket would you like to see that would could overcome the obstacles
you foresee? How would you feel about a Harris/O'Rourke ballot? I think it would bring in lots of Beto supporters, Texas Democrats who would work for the ticket in their state in 2020.
I like Beto a lot. I think he is an attractive candidate. But we are way overdue for a woman president, embarrassingly so. I used to like a Harris/mayor pete ticket but I just don't think this country is ready for an openly gay white man married to another man. Pete is excellent and I love to hear him speak. But I think we have to steel ourselves for bitter ugliness as we approach and live in 2020. Good god.
