Yeah, only trouble is that if he actually wins then I'm not sure he'd be on the ticket. Would Democrats want to give up such an unlikely Senate seat in Texas, for such a young guy?B.A. Bearacus said:
Beto's NFL viral clip catapulted him to the national level. He's been on Ellen and Colbert in the past week.
I don't know what the experts say about it, but now that Beto has entered the national stage, it's conceivable that he could be on the ticket even if he lost. Maybe not a wise decision from the standpoint of picking a running mate to safely deliver the home state of the running mate, but he just has "it" and he's gaining a lot of national attention.sycasey said:Yeah, only trouble is that if he actually wins then I'm not sure he'd be on the ticket.

He's 45.Another Bear said:
Beto is what, 40? He has some time. Heck if he runs in 10 years, he'd still be considered young...but he has momentum now. Any way, if it's Warren/O'Rourke and they get the nod...you take the VP because that sets up the next generation since Warren is 69. Beto might be able to leap frog Warren. Right now even the GOP are saying he's now a national candidate.
He's still young. Any way, I hope he wins Texas. That would set him up well, either for the long term or national office. Having the senate under his belt can only help him.B.A. Bearacus said:He's 45.Another Bear said:

I actually think he'd be more likely to be on the ticket if he lost.B.A. Bearacus said:

Of course they're losing men. It's becoming increasingly clear that we white males will be an endangered species if the Dems retake Congress.

I like this post. Be careful with your characterizations, though; recent experience here suggests that truly c#nty people object to being called c#nty.

CA districts are NOT gerrymandered like they are in other states. An independent commission draws the lines. Nunes' district is just within the Central Valley, which has been very Republican for a while. If Janz even keeps it close that represents a big swing.kjkbear said:
Unfortunately, there are very few undecided voters in the Nunes Janz race. California districts are gerrymandered. Nunes district is almost challenge proof. Damn.
What evidence do you have that this was specifically designed as a safe seat for Nunes (or any Republican). Just being a district in a conservative area doesn't qualify. How did the committee draw it to favor an incumbent or a political party?kjkbear said:
It was designed as a safe seat. I call that gerrymandering. So is Democrat Jim Costa's district right next door. Different parties. No difference as to gerrymandered seat. It's not North Carolina. But Phil Burton of San Francisco perfected gerrymandering in the 70s and 80s. Partly to protect brother John.
