Beto O'Rourke seems like a very intelligent and thoughtful man.

Maybe Beto will be president one day, but let him be my senator. Carnival Cruz is the worst and John Cornhole is right behind him.

It's literally like watching evolution in reverse.

I dion't know enough about Mr. O'Rourke to have an opinion about future presidential possibilities, but he was impressive today.

The good part is he's smart, focused, diligent and I dig the way he thinks.

Likewise, a lady from California, Kamala Harris and a gentleman from Missouri, Jason Kander (sp).

I hate being represented by the zodiac killer

He's great if you ask me.

He might, but way down the road, and he'd have to give up his try for re-election to the Senate if he want to go for the White House in 2024.

Still, what do the Republicans have to put up against him? Tomi Lahren?

(uh, oh--considering 2016, I should probably shut up)

Obama didn't run for president in a year when he would have been up for re-election to the Senate. If he had lost in 2008, he was secure in the middle of his Senate term. If O'Rourke wins a Senate seat, he will have served two years by 2020 (Obama had served four) or be up for re-election in 2024. Rather a big gamble to give up a Senate seat for a shot at the presidency. If he loses, he's nothing, and risks handing the Senate seat back to the Republicans without a replacement candidate equally as strong as he is.

Just worse timing than in Obama's case.

If he beats Cruz, the entire nation will owe him big time!

Obama lost his first bid to Congress.

He was very impressive on Bill Maher several weeks ago.

There was a story here that Obama invited "presumption presidential candidates." Same old same old: Sanders, who is not even a Democrat, Warren Biden - all in their seventh decade or close to.

And I was thinking that the American voters like someone new, that has not been in this field before.

And - I will pay for this, I know - this is what is common to Obama and to Trump. Both were not known as "career politicians." Obama gave the keynote address at the Democratic convention, but how many really remembered him? And Trump made his name in other fields. This is why so many, Republicans, were sure that he would tire and drip.

Please please please let him be our senator first! We need a good one. Beto believes in term limits and wants to be a 2 term senator then he can maybe run for President after that.

In one of Beto's Facebook live videos when Rep Joe Kennedy was driving Beto around Houston he said Beto needs to be senator first and then running for President will be easy. That running for senator in Texas is harder than running for President.

Beto really is amazing and super impressive!
