The Senate is so important, I like Beto, but wish he and Stacey would go for

the Senate seats in their states. I'm in GA, she should be my gov, but she's not and our Senators are both pieces of shit, especially the one up again 2020.

She brings the energy and experience to run. Beto clearly has the Texas GOP concerned. He may or may not do well in the presidential race and I would happily support either of the for President, but this could be a missed opportunity to flip red states (yes I know that she hasn't confirmed anything yet, but I fear that she might look over GA).

If Beto went up against him he'd be in danger of being branded a two time loser.

Someone who can galvanize both the base and independents is needed. We aren’t going to get by simply on anti-Trump sentiment. We need an exceptional candidate to win the primary - someone in the realm of a Barack Obama.
