Even an extremely likable and moderate guy like Colin Allred lost to the unpopular Ted Cruz.

Highlight:

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

Not bad at first glance EYESORE 9001 Yesterday #1

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

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

Beshear maybe. Crockett no. I absolutely love her, but it doesn't feel like the right time. Vinca Yesterday #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 Yesterday #39

I think Harris would have made an exceptional POTUS. It's a shame so many American voters are idiots. Vinca Yesterday #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 Yesterday #3

Agree 100% calguy Yesterday #7

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

His resume get the red out Yesterday #12

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

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

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

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

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

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

If he's so popular nationwide calguy Yesterday #24

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

That's exactly my point calguy Yesterday #49

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

Yes he has calguy Yesterday #50

He has a friendly demeanor. Nonnia Bisnez Yesterday #14

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

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

I stand corrected. Thanks! Music Man Yesterday #37

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

completely agree... Javaman Yesterday #5

You don't think Nonnia Bisnez Yesterday #16

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

Yes but Nonnia Bisnez Yesterday #22

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

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

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

Too early. kentuck Yesterday #9

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

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

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

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

It's not too early Nonnia Bisnez Yesterday #21

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

Glad to be here. Nonnia Bisnez Yesterday #25

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

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

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

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

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

Sez you. marble falls Yesterday #45

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

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

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

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

Absolutely not Crockett Polybius Yesterday #41

Way too early for this JustAnotherGen Yesterday #52

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