Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 It is encouraging to see one honest Dem. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/beto-orourke-dont-think-were-interested-in-obama-endorsement Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/164263-a-smart-democrat/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I like Beto a lot, but this has nothing to do with honesty as you put it. He's a Dem running for Senate in a deep red state where the race is surprisingly close. It's just smart to disassociate yourself from Obama in a state where 44 is not popular at all.

I wouldn’t say that’s the reason. He has not involved many outside folks in his campaign. He actually praised Obama, but he’s focused on Texas and Texans and sees this as a distraction.

Worked around too many politicians during my years in news. They're pretty much all angling at something.
