I hope @BetoORourke runs for President. I truly believe he could win. I just think the Democratic primaries need the very best we have to offer and he's in that group to me. Yes, I have a few substantive policy differences w/ Beto, but I believe he'll address them.

I think we need to take a step back and figure out what we want out of the next president before we start talking about who should be the next president. Devolving the debate into a battle between personality cults is kinda how we got Trump in the first place.

I don't disagree. I'm having those talks and tweeting at the same time. I am a big advocate of a competitive primary.

No doubt, but I think there’s a fundamental question of what exactly the role and positions of a Democratic President should be that needs to be answered before we start to throw out names. We won’t win if we chase a dream without a plan for what’s possible.

This 2020 race will not play by the normal rules though

I have a feeling that 2020 is gonna look a whole lot like 1968.
