I was wondering what people's opinion is about a Beshear/Crockett ticket. [View all]

I think it would appeal to a lot of people we need to to win. Besbear is a popular red state governor who isn't a conservadem. Crockett is a whip smart progressive representative who isn't afraid to confront the opposition on issues. Beshear is a young X and Crockett is an older millenial; perfect for appealing to younger voters. Beshear has executive experience and is used to working with a hostile legislature. Crokett hasn't been made a progressive bogeyman the way that AOC has, and she has proven she can quickly takedown a hostile Republican. Your thoughts?

Not bad at first glance EYESORE 9001 Jun 9 #1

I read Betty Crocker at first glance! Iris Jun 9 #47

My opinion also. Rep. Crockett, AOC and Rep. Raskin probably need to get to the Senate IMO first... brush Jun 9 #53

Beshear maybe. Crockett no. I absolutely love her, but it doesn't feel like the right time. Vinca Jun 9 #2

I love her but it is a no from me. We need a seasoned person. She is great but it is a no for me. Trueblue1968 Jun 9 #39

I think Harris would have made an exceptional POTUS. It's a shame so many American voters are idiots. Vinca Jun 9 #40

Kentuckian here. We love Andy Beshear! I don't sense that he's a great national figure, personality-wise, but we'll see. Music Man Jun 9 #3

Agree 100% calguy Jun 9 #7

How is a 2-term governor...the most popular Democratic governor in the nation not ready Wanderlust988 Jun 9 #10

His resume get the red out Jun 9 #12

Yes, the same as Bill Clinton. It's ludicrous for someone to say he's not ready to be president. Wanderlust988 Jun 9 #29

It's not lucicrous at all to say he's not ready for the national stage calguy Jun 9 #51

Two term Governor and 1term Attorney General bottomofthehill Jun 9 #13

Don't get me wrong: EXCELLENT governor, would be an outstanding president. Music Man Jun 9 #15

We'll have to see how ALL candidates handle a primary. Pritzer and Newsom haven't had a primary either. Wanderlust988 Jun 9 #30

Correct. This is really all just a fun exercise pinkstarburst Jun 9 #42

If he's so popular nationwide calguy Jun 9 #24

He preaches against Trump everyday, but he doesn't have Chicago or LA media markets to help Wanderlust988 Jun 9 #28

That's exactly my point calguy Jun 9 #49

As Californian, Newsom, at times, has leaned too far to the demosincebirth Jun 9 #33

Yes he has calguy Jun 9 #50

He has a friendly demeanor. Nonnia Bisnez Jun 9 #14

He has a friendly demeanor but doesn't come across as mean-spirited Polybius Jun 9 #46

Actually Jasmine is serving her second term. MagickMuffin Jun 9 #34

I stand corrected. Thanks! Music Man Jun 9 #37

Crockett should be aiming for house leadership IMO Fiendish Thingy Jun 9 #4

completely agree... Javaman Jun 9 #5

You don't think Nonnia Bisnez Jun 9 #16

I think she would be hard pressed to say no, but I think her talents would be much better utilized Javaman Jun 9 #19

Yes but Nonnia Bisnez Jun 9 #22

Rep. Crockett is running for the Oversight Committee Chair MagickMuffin Jun 9 #35

Beshear wouldn't even win Kentucky and Crocket would make sure we lose 46 states Prairie Gates Jun 9 #6

Actually, I think he could win Kentucky. He's that popular here. I think Kentucky would be a battleground state. Wanderlust988 Jun 9 #8

Too early. kentuck Jun 9 #9

I love them both! get the red out Jun 9 #11

As a Cincinnatian, I do too. Nonnia Bisnez Jun 9 #18

There are so many great Democrats - but my preference is a robust primary and I make my decision on the policies Nanjeanne Jun 9 #17

You are quite right. At this early stage, this exercise is more of a party game than a serious discussion. Hekate Jun 9 #20

It's not too early Nonnia Bisnez Jun 9 #21

It's too early to be this specific. maxsolomon Jun 9 #23

Glad to be here. Nonnia Bisnez Jun 9 #25

Tough to read the tea leaves this far out Torchlight Jun 9 #26

Crocket is POTUS material and at the right age, but I would much rather have her as Speaker of the House, ... marble falls Jun 9 #27

I'd love for her to run for Cornyn seat and win MagickMuffin Jun 9 #36

Cornyn might be tougher to beat than Paxton, who people loathe or love. Cornyn appeals to 'real' Republicans ... marble falls Jun 9 #38

She'd lose by 20 points to either one of them Polybius Jun 9 #44

Sez you. marble falls Jun 9 #45

With my dire warnings and predictions from last year, I am well qualified to speak on this Polybius Jun 9 #48

She couldn't win a statewide race in Texas to become a Senator Polybius Jun 9 #43

We don't need another male president Pris Jun 9 #31

I want to see how BOTH perform in the primaries pinkstarburst Jun 9 #32

Absolutely not Crockett Polybius Jun 9 #41

Way too early for this JustAnotherGen Jun 9 #52

I was thinking more along the lines of Alliepoo Jun 9 #54

Absolute dream ticket Nonnia Bisnez Jun 9 #55
