"Beto O'Rourke leapfrogs most of the 2020 Democratic field."

Chris Cillizza and Harry Enten, write at CNN.
O'Rourke has that thing that every candidate -- Democrat or Republican -- wants: organic energy. He generates excitement everywhere he goes -- and is being urged to run by activists from all over the Democratic base. He's the flavor of the moment, no question...
They present a top 10 ranking:
10. Kirsten Gillibrand... She has the most anti-Trump record of any senator...(Previous ranking: Not ranked)

9. Julian Castro: He's running!... [But is there] room for both young Texas Democratic firebrands, Castro and O'Rourke.... (Previous ranking: 7)

8. Sherrod Brown... Still, Brown's a white male in a party that is becoming less white and was intent on nominating women in 2018.... (Previous ranking: 9)

7. Amy Klobuchar: We probably had the Minnesota senator ranked too highly last month... (Previous ranking: 4)

6. Bernie Sanders... We wonder though if time has passed Sanders by... (Previous ranking: 6)

5. Elizabeth Warren: The last month has made clear just how much damage Warren did to her chances with a badly botched attempt to put to rest questions about her Native American heritage.... (Previous ranking: 2)

4. Cory Booker... some progressives view him as a dreaded "neoliberal," and some may see him as a bit over-dramatic (see his "Spartacus" moment). (Previous ranking: 5)

3. Joe Biden.... a septuagenarian white male... (Previous ranking: 3)

2. Beto O'Rourke: The guy just lost a Senate race. And yet, here we are with O'Rourke in second... Still, folks really shouldn't get ahead of themselves.... Will Democrats actually nominate a white man in 2020?.... (Previous ranking: 10)

1. Kamala Harris... an Indian-American and African-American woman with a law-and-order background -- looks tailor made for the 2020 Democratic electorate.... (Previous ranking: 1)
Well, there you have it: The Democrats don't want a white man. Is Beto O'Rourke still a white man? Puzzling!!!

ADDED: Overheard at Meadhouse: "Why aren't the Democratic candidates better? I'm just going to be for Amy Klobuchar."

The field is going to be Yuuuge! But there will only be one person everybody will be talking about in the Democratic party debates.


[deliberate extra whitespace for emphasis...]


Trump.

chuck म्हणाले...

Yeah, Robert O'Rourke is a white man, a privileged white man at that. The Democrats have become the favored party of privileged white men without noticeable accomplishments.

"Why aren't the Democratic candidates better?"

Um, because they're Democrats? This is the best they have to offer.

Nonapod म्हणाले...

A character like Beto O'Rourke illustrates the Democrat's utter superficiality perfectly. A good looking white dude who is hip (he rides skateboards!), mouths the correct banalities, and has very little to speak of in terms of actual accomplishments. As a bonus, he has the driving record of a Kennedy.

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

O'Rourke is an honorary Hispanic, thus not white at all.

Joe "Chico" Biden is also not white, and neither is Hillary!"Loba" Rodham.

Whereas Kamala "Puta" Harris will be written about endlessly as Willie Brown's mistress by the press.

tcrosse म्हणाले...

As one of her former constituents, and one not of her party, I think Amy Klobuchar is too smart to want the job.

Beto will be the William Jennings Bryan of this century.

hombre म्हणाले...

Yes, Beto O’Rourke is a white man. Democrats and their consorts in the media are just too stupid to figure that out.

Just look at that field: Kampala “I didn’t know” Harris, Beto “hit and run“ O’Rourke, Joe the Groper, Spartacus, Fauxcahontas, Bernie the aged commie,.... Compare it to the field Trump defeated. Democrat politicians are pathetic and their base moronic and Republicans failed to capitalize on it.

Imagine a future where the bright spot appears to be Trump. How depressing is that?

Tina Trent म्हणाले...

Kamala Harris has so much lood on her hands thanks to the hug a thug policies and police hate she fomented in California that it shouldn't be difficult to put together an army of victims and survivors to condemn her.

Meade said...

Are you really unsure how to "quit" Trump?

I'd be the first to sit down with you for a beer, and bemoan the national inability to "replace" Trump. That list of Democrats contained not a single name that I will ever vote for, under any circumstances. "I'm just going to be for Amy Klobuchar" is something that has never been said in my house. But of course my house has never been home to an Obama voter either. Why wouldn't someone who previously voted for Obama eagerly look forward to voting for Kamala Harris or Eric Holder? Policy-wise; personality-wise; image-wise; Kamala Harris and/or Eric Holder are perfect successors to the Obama legacy. We'd need to ask an Obama voter; and I am not sure if that would include you, Meade. Perhaps someone you know may have been an Obama voter.

Michael म्हणाले...

Re: Beto. Will the Democrats actually nominate an empty suit in 2020? Well, it worked last time.

eric म्हणाले...

I've got a feeling we won't see many candidates for long.

Democrats are the royal party now. They crown the queen and everyone else needs to get out of the way. So, we will probably see Biden , Harris and O'Rourke battle it out while everyone else is kind of shoved off to the sidelines.

Biden doesn't have a chance. Unless he suddenly discovers he is another sex or race, which is ok as long as you're a Democrat.

Beto is lucky, everyone thinks he's Hispanic so he won't be deemed a white male.

Kamala has the best shot though, thanks to identity politics. Biden and Beto will be racists and full fledged members of the patriarchy before the primaries are over.

अनामित म्हणाले...

Nah, It's more that Mr. O'Rourke has that thing that every candidate -- Democrat or Republican -- really wants: money. Lots and lots of money.

Money buys all tge organic product you could ever want.

This is a good time for Democrats to run three or four candidates instead of just the one. When is the field ever this 'deep'?

Mike Sylwester म्हणाले...

Kamala Harris was good at questioning Brett Kavanaugh.

She asked him whether he had talked with someone at some law firm.

She is one smart cookie.

elkh1 म्हणाले...

He is white Irish to appeal to the white racists in the Democratic Party. He appropriated a Spanish nick name to snooker Hispanic voters. Anytime now, he'll appear more tanned and wear skirts or don gender neutral outfits. He got all factions of his Party covered.

Sebastian म्हणाले...

Given this field, it's still Oprah's race to lose.

"Why aren't the Democratic candidates better?"

They don't have to be: as in New Jersey, Dems will vote for corrupt rapists if they have to, and Dems are counting on nice white women to value "women's bodies" enough to stick it to uncouth Trump.

Still, the singular lack of accomplishment is striking, but then, so was O's.

Cory Booker demonstrated his extraordinary courage during his questioning of Brett Kavanaugh. Booker did civil disobedience in order to cause the release of a document one day early.

Because of Booker's courageous civil disobedience, the public learned that Kavanaugh had opposed racial profiling in searches of airport passengers.

Booker has earned his impressive nickname "Spartacus".

Looking at the list and the descriptions, here's what's most important to Democrats: race, race, race, identity, race, race, race, identity, ethnicity, race.

Policies? Who needs that! The Democratic party has always been the party that uses race for political advantage. Today's Democrats are the worthy successors to their mentors: Wallace, Maddox, Faubus.

FIDO म्हणाले...

It is very simple: most of the candidates are well known scum. They have enormous negatives.

Beto is, like Obama before him, mostly an unknown. So this allows Dems to project their hopes on the Great White Dope, unblemished by a real person.

Is he even LESS qualified than Obama was legislatively?

If Trump is unqualified, how is Trust Fund Boy any better?

I can certainly imagine not voting for Trump. If I had the chance to vote for Mitt Romney instead of Trump, I would do so every day of the week and twice on Sundays. If there were a plausible third party, I could do that. If I had to withhold any vote for President, I could imagine doing that. I could particularly imagine doing that if, unlike in 2016, it became clear before 2020 that Trump was a felon who was escaping prosecution only because he was the current occupant of the White House. I think that I would be joined by the other Republican lawyers who have joined George Conway III's "Checks and Balances" group. I would be in very good company.

Back to my question to you, Meade; why would a past Obama voter not enthusiastically support Kamala Harris or Eric Holder or even Cory Booker? Why would any Obama voter support Trump for election, or re-election, or anything else? Trump loathes Obama. Obama loathes Trump. What sort of person would vote for Obama, and then Trump? (And yes, we do have an idea insofar as we know of counties that went strongly for Obama in '08/'12, and then Trump in '16. Ballotpedia calls them the "Pivot Counties.")

I'm sure I'm not the first to mention that ol' Beto looks to be a "cisgendered", i.e., normal, straight, male cracker. In other words, the epitome of all evil. Surely this would never fly in lib-land.

Then again, he can ride a skateboard. Maybe that's the 21st century equivalent of playing sax with shades on.

Bruce Hayden म्हणाले...

I think that their nominee will be Kamala Harris, because she checks the most boxes. Beto will be easy to take down - just start calling him “Bobby”. That will emphasize that he is white Irish trying to pass as Hispanic. Or something like that. My vote for a Dem nominee would be Hickendooper. He has, I think, the most crossover appeal. Most of the list of top ten are far left whack jobs. Hickenbooper actually had a real job, running his own successful business before being elected Denver Mayor, then CO governor. He also governed somewhat pragmatically, not as a mind dead leftist (which is what his successor will almost inevitably do - he was horrible as my Congressman, hard left as they come (he represented Boulder) when I lived there, and shows no evidence of coming back to reality). And, of course, Hickenzooper has executive experience, as a business owner, mayor, and governor, which is part of why he would be better than anyone on the list. But, of course, he won’t get the nomination: he doesn’t check any boxes; isn’t an empty suit; wasn’t in Congress; and might actually be competent.

Chuck@2:20PM "Will you disappear after 25 hours?" Lulz... No, Chuck, but I think you might.

J. Farmer म्हणाले...

As in 2016, the only Democrat I could ever envision voting for over Trump is Bernie Sanders. Despite all the socialist rhetoric, Sanders is a relatively level headed guy. He at least accurately recognizes that loose immigration is a corporatist cheap labor racket. And he would likely give us a less aggressive, interventionist foreign policy while finding a lot of his domestic agenda blocked or neutered in Congress. But, as Ann has correctly identified, it is hard to imagine a white male at the head of ticket. Witness O'Rourke's "flight from white," to use a phrase coined by Steve Sailer. The Democratic Party has essentially designed itself as the anti-white-guy party.

Leland म्हणाले...

Beto as a nominee would guarantee Trump is President in 2021. Beto's only accomplishments are being a 3 time Representative from El Paso, TX and marrying rich. He has an identity problem which includes a big time cultural appropriation, because he's no Hispanic. He ducked as many debates with Cruz that he could, and looked terrible when he ran out of excuses. The only thing Beto brings to the table for Democrats is that he looks like RFK, lives like John F Kerry, and will make Democrats think they'll win Texas, when they won't.

The last three Presidential elections have taught us that white Democrats will vote for anything, whereas a lot Blacks will only bother to vote for something labeled "Black". They might even go for Trump if the Democrat was pretending to be Hispanic. So, it's Spartacus or Kamaltoe. I say Kamaltoe.

Drago म्हणाले...

This large field of dems is guaranteed to provide endless amusement but even better than that will be the inevitable LLR Chuck contortions to provide cover for every lunatic lefty position that they espouse.

I think we should develop some pre-defined categories for LLR Chuck's endless Dem Defense tactics in order to provide a shorthand way of capturing his passionate dem defenses.

For instance, LLR Chuck's strong obfuscation in support of Dick Durbin and the Open Borders immigration position could simply be called a "Durbin".

LLR Chucks strong defense of democrats when they lie about their achievements could be called pulling a "Blumenthal", in honor of LLR Chuck's repeated, knowing, lies to deflect from Blumenthals inexcusable Stolen Valor lies which LLR Chuck eagerly gobbled up and swallowed whole.

Pulling a Maddow would be for those many many many times LLR Chuck heaps over the top praise in typical hack lefty talking heads.

Admittedly, this will be a crowded category as LLR Chucks praise for lefty hack media types and their insane lefty "hot takes" is never ending.

The possibilites are endless.

If the Democrats are going to nominate a failed Senate candidate, they should nominate Phil Bredesen. I didn't want him as Senator from TN, but he'd make an excellent President.

Drago म्हणाले...

Darrell: "Did somebody put a hit out on Chuck?"

The only "hit" necessary to "take out" LLR Chuck is simply keep track of Chucks universal rhetorical and operational alignment with the left.

Whats best about the last few months is that LLR Chucks whisper-thin cover story of being a "conservative" in the mode of the NeverTrumpers is the complete exposure of every single NeverTrumper as a bought and paid for stooge of the far left.

You could discern a real panic in Chucks continuous rabid pro-dem posts when that all came out.

I anticipate that the most entertaining part of the DEM nomination process is going to be the response to Hillary throwing her hat in the ring. I don't think she can help herself and unless she's dead by then her sycophants will convince her to make it happen. I mean, if Biden, why not Clinton?. Given the level of the competition she'll be correct to make the claim that she couldn't be worse than any of them!

He is tall and lean, has never had a cavity, and he will never need a comb over. I'm surprised that there is this much discussion as to who will be the next nominee. This is a historic inevitability. His record is spotless. Perhaps virginal is the better word. In any event there is nothing in his record to contraindicate the possibility that he might become the greatest president of all time.

Imagine a future where the bright spot appears to be Trump. How depressing is that?

Lol. About as depressing as any ordinary Republican's life.

The "field" is indeed uninspiring. But I don't care for inspiration at this moment. Enough decent every-day heroes are finally getting elected into the House, and its widening progressive caucus.

But for president, I just want somebody who's going to smash the daylights out of the ever-losing Republican psyche. I don't need anyone to demoralize them. They already apparently underwent that under Obama. And they still didn't learn their lesson. Instead they became factionalized and idiotic, drooling dirt people. Rabid pets moreso than humans, and in swift need of being put down. Morons who could only "save" themselves by electing someone as angry and unhinged and devoid of purpose as they were, and still remain.

So the next president will come in on a progressive platform. With that covered, he/she should just build a power base - with or without a machine - and call out every soul-sucking spineless Republican for the human waste that they are, while the president builds some infrastructure, international alliances, economic/social/environmental progress - and coasts through those victories in a first term to a future of Republican legislative representation dwindling below 40%.

Apparently not as bad as Republicans. Name one Republican policy that ever improved the lives of the American people.

You know you can't.

Republicans gave us the Great Depression. 80 years later they repeated the same policies that gave us that and we wound up with the global Great Recession.

They deregulated, off-shored, downsized, corporatized and gave us the Reagan-Wall Street-COC nexus that caused all the denationalization of American industry in the first place.

The Great Depression was bad enough. But of course history shows that it also kicked off WWII, and the rise of Nazi fascism throughout Europe. This killed tens of millions, and made it necessary to align with a Stalin that could only be emboldened after the Allied WWII win to give us a global cold war with communism spreading for decades afterward.

In modern times, Republicans de-regulated the pharmaceutical industry. If your small town is ravaged by de-industrialization, don't worry. The Republicans will give you an opioid-epidemic crisis for that! So those "losers" can kill themselves on Oxy-Contin instead.

Great job, Republicans!

Kurt Schlichter reminds us that ding-bat leftwing crazies attract masses of stupids.

"You should not for a moment fail to appreciate the risk posed to your freedom by left-wing It-Fascists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Beto O’Rourke. There’s an undeniable appeal of this kind of Potemkin Politician for the kind of morons that the Democrats count on at the ballot box. Sure, the Nitwit Naïf is ridiculously ignorant and dumb – she knows nothing and demonstrates no capacity to learn anything. Sure, Tex Kennedy is a meat puppet dancing on the strings held by his masters. But this is the same country where the voters elected Barack Obama, twice.

They can absolutely win power, which means the leftist elite that controls them could win power, and that means disaster for our country. Like an our-country-splitting-apart kind of disaster. So, we need to accurately assess the threat they pose and figure out how to fight it. We need to not fool ourselves into thinking that these two dorks are too goofy for the voters to ever elect, particularly if some Fredocon doofus whose dad used to be a mailman tries to play spoiler."


[...]

AOC and Beto are something entirely different. They will be protected by the media, and actively covered for. That’s because they are elite catspaws disguised as radical disrupters. Though they attempt to speak the language of outsiders, every single thing they propose is exactly in line with the desires of the elite establishment. Gun control? Check – yeah, the same people hating on the cops are also the same ones demanding that only the cops under the control of the elite have guns. Climate change? Check – gee, how can a carbon tax go wrong? Bizarre theories about race and gender? Check – sure, let’s turn our country into a crucible of social justice witch hunts that would embarrass the town fathers of Salem, assuming they identify as male. I wouldn’t want to misgender anyone who hanged women for imaginary crimes.

Trump's lawyers (if he can manage to retain any - they seem to flee him quicker than rats on a sinking ship) are pushing the impeachment-before-indictment defense for a reason. They know how embedded he is with all this criminality. If Cohen acted on Trump's advice (which the tapes prove), then President Co-Conspirator is culpable also. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

He is running and always had run a criminal organization. His family "business" works like the mob.

Well we know one sort of person who would vote for Trump — you.

As for voting for Obama and then for Trump I would say someone anxious for hope and change who lost hope because McCain and Romney were clearly weasels and Obama/Clinton were clearly more of the same. Turns out change = Trump.

And look at how much better things are now that we have real change.

I suppose the only way you can vote for Trump again is if the Democrat candidate is Hillary again. Sad.


Meade I voted enthusiastically for every Republican in every general election since 1976. Until 2016, when I voted unenthusiastically for the Republican. I voted for Trump as the least-worst alternative. I still believe that he was the least-worst alternative, and that we are getting mostly competent selections as nominees for the federal courts. Because mostly, Trump has delegated that task and thank goodness that he has.

But you haven't helped me understand what sort of person votes for Obama, and then Obama again, and then for Trump. "Obama-Obama-Trump."

Does such a voter believe that the Affordable Care Act was good law and policy? Or not? Does such a voter believe that the Trump Tax Cuts are good law and policy? Or not? Does such a voter wish for more federal judges like Sotomayor and Kagan? Or more judges like Gorsuch and Kavanaugh? Is an Obama-Obama-Trump voter happy with the Senate's not hearing the nomination of Judge Garland? Or not? Who does an Obama-Obama-Trump voter want as an Attorney General? Eric Holder, or Jeff Sessions? (Or Judge Jeanine Pirro?!? How about William Barr? How many Obama-Obama-Trump voters could identify William Barr if we gave them 12 chances?) Where do Obama-Obama-Trump voters stand on international climate change treaties? On a border wall? On the Trans Pacific Partnership? On the Iranian Nuclear Agreement? On oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?

Meade you've written some funny, some curious, some idiosyncratic things on this blog's comments pages. I don't ever recall you writing anything so inexcusably idiotic and noxious as, "McCain and Romney were clearly weasels." McCain was a decorated war hero, and had the most remarkable record of high-level bipartisan work in the United States Senate in a generation. Mitt Romney was the son of a great Republican, and made a fortune for himself (after his father made a fortune and gave it all away) based on legitimate skill, acumen and hard work.
