Martin OMalley, the former Democratic governor of Maryland and 2016 presidential candidate, says he will not run for president in 2020 and is backing Beto ORourke.
OMalleys endorsement of ORourke, who catapulted to the national spotlight in his close Texas Senate race against Sen. Ted Cruz, comes in a column published in the Des Moines Register. [

OMalley says that ORourke has the wisdom to listen, the courage to lead, and a rock-solid faith in the powerful goodness of our nation.

So the presidency is a popularity contest? Any thought of qualifications?

O’Rourke... that’s a good Irish name, isn’t it?
Why are they calling this guy ‘Hispanic’?

True enough. So all Beto has to do is change his last name to Orourkez, then self-identify as Hispanic.

Just as Irish as “O’Malley”.
(Mostly: the name “Rourke”, as well as “Roderick” and “Rory”, apparently has a Norse origin in the name Hroþekr, “famous king”, which has some similarities to the name of the Danish king Hroþgar in “Beowulf”.)

He is going to run and he has a more than 50% chance of winning.
Cruz should have wiped the table with him.

No need to concern-troll on Robert Francis’ behalf.
And Trump is not Cruz.

The guy is literally 0% Hispanic. But he’s got an Hispanic nickname, and that’s good enough!
And here’s where Elizabeth Warren must be kicking herself. If she had only picked a Cherokee nickname for herself years ago, she’d be President of the United States today.
