i think there s something where, yeah, the party is talking about the need for a woman or more diverse candidate, but what they really want do is beat president trump. when you ask privately, they say, i can vote for a woman, but my friends, i m not sure they can. this guy looks like he could be a president. he has a kennediesque thing to him. democrats are not willing to take a risk. if they view a woman or a person of color as a risk, that could really help him. people make the comparison. obama had the iraq war. what will bay toe o rou beto o ? he raised $83 million in his senate race, he spent three terms in the house.
where they described o rourke as handsome and charismatic. in august, meet the men democrats help with the next obama. going on to ask, is the man who could save the world from trump? finally vanity fair said, calling him kennediesque. as it turns out, beto, is more kennediesque than we thought. what those features failed to fully examine was his dwi. the details of which were much worse than previously reported. the news of the details that were finally revealed in a august 31st houston are on couple pierce. beto had this to say when confronted at this incident during a debate. i did not try to leave the scene of the accident though driving drunk, which i did, it is a terrible mistake for which there is no excuse or justification or defense. i will not try to provide any.

kennediesque. are they letting them take the photos? a little of both. you couldn t stage a better photo when they got on two boats and came into town to get ice cream as a family. an ap photographer was cutting through town and stopped to take the shots and you re seeing waterfront shots. his house, the way it s set up, is way back in the cove that you can t get anywhere near. they ve bought up the land around it. you might have all seen this photograph of mitt and ann on a jet ski yesterday. they were cruising around the lake with everybody else. aside from a coast guard boat or police boat or two, there s no aggressive push back from security. it s everybody s lake for the summer. garrett, have you seen tim pawlenty hitching himself to a jet ski yet, rob portman hammering nails into a board?
