    You Dems should vote for this guy... He could get BYU into a P5!

      Right? This makes no sense to me as a strategic move. Isn't his entire appeal supposed to be that he can win in red states? What a moran.

        Oh no... is the DNC doing this sh*t again?



        She should run as an independent.

          It only makes sense if he's jettisoned any run for future statehood office. He's going for broke. He won't be president, but could be part of a democratic cabinet.

              Biden just proposed raising the capital gains tax to 40%. Isn’t he supposed to be the moderate?

                Warren had a good zinger on gay marriage. It was bad politics.

                I see why "take no prisoners" leftist like Warren, but she is wholly unappealing to the rest of the country. She will fall into the Hillary trap and Trump will get re-elected.
                Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

                For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                  Well, Trump will also get foreign help again. McConnell has made that more likely by refusing to even consider basic bills that help safeguard our elections.

                    Not sure how to say this tactfully, but Americans won’t elect a president who reminds them of a self-righteous, overbearing mother-in-law! It’s been tried. It’s failed. It will fail again.

                        That's a much better alternative than the demonstrably corrupt and insane man we have who has successfully made us a lot less safer over the course of a week. Warren might lose to him, but if she did, i'd speculate that she'd get more of the popular vote than him.

                          Yup. She is not likable to the average American and she lied about being a Native American and still
                          lies about being fired for becoming pregnant. I think she would be a pretty good President but she is a horrible candidate and will lose to Trump.

                            She also has angry eyebrows...which is not a good look.
                            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                                It's all or nothing for Beto... if he is not the Dems' nominee he will take his ball and go home:

                                During an interview with Politico, the squeaky-clean flat tire fixer rolled out the following:

                                “I cannot fathom a scenario where I would run for public office again if I’m not the nominee.”


                                Now that he wants to take guns away (with police going door-to-door) and pull the non-profit status of churches I really want him to run for the senate again in Texas. That would be fun.
