        I’m not a fan of Beto. He can run as he likes with the rest of the field. Also, I see comments about a 2020 Beto-Harris ticket.

        UM, NO.JUST.NO. If anything Harris should be head of the 2020 ticket.

        I suspect that Beto O’Rourke knows he can’t win the nomination with the competition from people currently holding office. I’m guessing he wants to do well enough to get picked for the VP slot, then run for Democratic presidential nomination when it’s open again.

        This would be the smart strategy for him. He’s young and charismatic and a good speaker, maybe could win Texas for the Democrats.

      He won in Texas against Ted Cruz. No way ALL of those new voters broke for Ted Cruz. Voting machines switched votes from Beto to Cruz. People pressured him to contest the results. He didn’t. I’m still a bit salty about that. Am I being petty?

    UK’s Labour says will not support second Brexit referendum proposal on Thursday

    LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s opposition Labour Party will not support a proposal for a second Brexit referendum due to be voted on in parliament later on Thursday, the party’s Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer said.

    Parliament will later vote on a government proposal for a three-month delay to the Article 50 Brexit negotiation period if a deal is approved by March 20, and a longer delay if it is not.

    Lawmakers have proposed changes to that including one, amendment H, which says a delay should be used to hold a second referendum.

    “We will not be supporting H tonight,” Starmer told parliament. “Today is about the question of whether Article 50 should be extended.”

    Starmer said Labour would support holding a public vote on any Brexit deal which is approved by parliament.
