Andrew Yang is an entirely different species than both Republicans and Democrats, voting for him would the be most optimal political solution for the United States.

I suppose there are those who consider casual racism to be a redeeming quality.

Or maybe Castro for Texas. However, I don't see Democrats taking Texas regardless though they can shorten those margins, which would be a win for them and cause the GOP to scream bloody murder. Bullock? Yeah, he most certainly can win a Senate seat but ego man, ego! I'm sure he'll realize this soon enough.

Texas will go red on the presidential front, but the senate seat is up for grabs. But Dems had a better shot flipping the seat in 2018 and failed.

First, Stacey Abrams unveils her 2020 plans, which don't include presidential bid; she'll be working on voting rights instead and she said she'll be open to be considered a VP nominee for any of the candidates. While I think a normal election could her as a good VP, I don't in this current political environment she would be the right choice. She should have run for the Senate instead with a focus on voting rights. Eh, I'm sure Democrats aren't happy about the fact she ain't running.

Second and more importantly, Hickenlooper is considering dropping out of the Presidential Race to run for the Senate instead.

He would likely be the nominee for the Democrats on the Senate and has a good chance of winning. This is bound to make Democrats happy.


The Hickenlooper news is good. Gardner is very vulnerable in Colorado. Hickenlooper is a popular governor and could unseat him. Allot of Dems running right now and utterly shiting the bed in polls should drop out and run for senate. Beto and Bullock would be perfect examples.


Yes, Hickenlooper is useless as a presidential candidate. If he can find something else to do that is actually useful, he should definitely do that instead.

It's not up for grabs this time. As I've said before, Cornyn isn't Cruz, he's far more popular among voters.

Being a governor? He seems pretty good at that.

Likely a stunt to promote the National Action Network and his MSNBC show. And unlike Donnie will likely not go wrong with an electoral success.
