A quick blog post.
On Wednesday, November 28, 2018, I wrote a post arguing why Beto O’Rourke is a formidable contender for the 2020 DNC Presidential primaries and the general election.
Since then, I have watched how the GOP and the DNC establishment have been relentlessly pushing Joe Biden as the candidate they fear most in 2020 against President Trump. Almost about any candidate is sure to beat Trump in 2020 if he doesn’t resign, a possibility as things continue to get complicated for him.
So, why are Republicans suddenly cheering Biden over others, especially given GOP’s record of being nice to Democrats? Does anyone really believe that Biden is the best choice against Trump?
At the top of Dems, Senate leadership is a pair of men in their 70s. In the House of Reps, the leadership is the same, folks in their 70s are holding sway. Why in this world would anyone think that Joe Biden at the top of the ticket in 2020 will not be a velvet gift to Republicans who will gleefully run against him in 2024?
Amazed, I kept thinking that Democrats are about to blow away a generational opportunity if they nominate Joe Biden who like Hilary Clinton is suffering from a delusion of grandeur and messianic complex.
So, who’s afraid of Beto? And why are GOP pundits, Democratic establishment and some Liberals talking him down?
My questions were finally answered. I was shocked and relieved when Politico wrote a lead article titled “GOP meddles in Democratic nomination with a takedown of O'Rourke” on how Club for Growth and some GOP operatives are seriously concerned about Beto winning the DNC nomination for 2020 Presidential Election. Like I argued in my November blog post, Politico agrees and GOP operatives believe Beto will put Texas in play for Dems, and the cocktail will lift all Dems down the ballot in Texas. Arizona will not be spared either.
Who knew, the confession will be so soon.
Again, after two unsuccessful attempts at winning the presidential nomination, Joe Biden is not the best choice for Dems, and Republicans know it too well.
Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada caucus and primary voters now you know!
