15. Don't get me wrong: EXCELLENT governor, would be an outstanding president.

I'm just saying we'll have to see how he does through a national campaign/primary. For instance, when he was on Harris' shortlist for VP, he did some interviews and stump speeches during that time (perhaps as trial runs?), and his appearances seemed rather rehearsed, out of central casting. They didn't go with him, of course.

I adore the man--this is why we have primaries, is all.

Highlight:

I was wondering what people's opinion is about a Beshear/Crockett ticket. [View all] Nonnia Bisnez Monday OP

Not bad at first glance EYESORE 9001 Monday #1

I read Betty Crocker at first glance! Iris Monday #47

My opinion also. Rep. Crockett, AOC and Rep. Raskin probably need to get to the Senate IMO first... brush Monday #53

Beshear maybe. Crockett no. I absolutely love her, but it doesn't feel like the right time. Vinca Monday #2

I love her but it is a no from me. We need a seasoned person. She is great but it is a no for me. Trueblue1968 Monday #39

I think Harris would have made an exceptional POTUS. It's a shame so many American voters are idiots. Vinca Monday #40

Kentuckian here. We love Andy Beshear! I don't sense that he's a great national figure, personality-wise, but we'll see. Music Man Monday #3

Agree 100% calguy Monday #7

How is a 2-term governor...the most popular Democratic governor in the nation not ready Wanderlust988 Monday #10

His resume get the red out Monday #12

Yes, the same as Bill Clinton. It's ludicrous for someone to say he's not ready to be president. Wanderlust988 Monday #29

It's not lucicrous at all to say he's not ready for the national stage calguy Monday #51

Two term Governor and 1term Attorney General bottomofthehill Monday #13

Don't get me wrong: EXCELLENT governor, would be an outstanding president. Music Man Monday #15

We'll have to see how ALL candidates handle a primary. Pritzer and Newsom haven't had a primary either. Wanderlust988 Monday #30

Correct. This is really all just a fun exercise pinkstarburst Monday #42

If he's so popular nationwide calguy Monday #24

He preaches against Trump everyday, but he doesn't have Chicago or LA media markets to help Wanderlust988 Monday #28

That's exactly my point calguy Monday #49

As Californian, Newsom, at times, has leaned too far to the demosincebirth Monday #33

Yes he has calguy Monday #50

He has a friendly demeanor. Nonnia Bisnez Monday #14

He has a friendly demeanor but doesn't come across as mean-spirited Polybius Monday #46

Actually Jasmine is serving her second term. MagickMuffin Monday #34

I stand corrected. Thanks! Music Man Monday #37

Crockett should be aiming for house leadership IMO Fiendish Thingy Monday #4

completely agree... Javaman Monday #5

You don't think Nonnia Bisnez Monday #16

I think she would be hard pressed to say no, but I think her talents would be much better utilized Javaman Monday #19

Yes but Nonnia Bisnez Monday #22

Rep. Crockett is running for the Oversight Committee Chair MagickMuffin Monday #35

Beshear wouldn't even win Kentucky and Crocket would make sure we lose 46 states Prairie Gates Monday #6

Actually, I think he could win Kentucky. He's that popular here. I think Kentucky would be a battleground state. Wanderlust988 Monday #8

Too early. kentuck Monday #9

I love them both! get the red out Monday #11

As a Cincinnatian, I do too. Nonnia Bisnez Monday #18

There are so many great Democrats - but my preference is a robust primary and I make my decision on the policies Nanjeanne Monday #17

You are quite right. At this early stage, this exercise is more of a party game than a serious discussion. Hekate Monday #20

It's not too early Nonnia Bisnez Monday #21

It's too early to be this specific. maxsolomon Monday #23

Glad to be here. Nonnia Bisnez Monday #25

Tough to read the tea leaves this far out Torchlight Monday #26

Crocket is POTUS material and at the right age, but I would much rather have her as Speaker of the House, ... marble falls Monday #27

I'd love for her to run for Cornyn seat and win MagickMuffin Monday #36

Cornyn might be tougher to beat than Paxton, who people loathe or love. Cornyn appeals to 'real' Republicans ... marble falls Monday #38

She'd lose by 20 points to either one of them Polybius Monday #44

Sez you. marble falls Monday #45

With my dire warnings and predictions from last year, I am well qualified to speak on this Polybius Monday #48

She couldn't win a statewide race in Texas to become a Senator Polybius Monday #43

We don't need another male president Pris Monday #31

I want to see how BOTH perform in the primaries pinkstarburst Monday #32

Absolutely not Crockett Polybius Monday #41

Way too early for this JustAnotherGen Monday #52

I was thinking more along the lines of Alliepoo Monday #54

Absolute dream ticket Nonnia Bisnez Monday #55
