2020 ELECTIONS ‘He’s Barack Obama, but white’: Beto O’Rourke blows up the 2020 Democratic primary
Politico ^ | November 19, 2018 | David Siders

Posted on 11/19/2018 6:42:35 AM PST by C19fan

Sparked by his narrow defeat in a Texas Senate race, Beto O’Rourke is scrambling the 2020 presidential primary field, freezing Democratic donors and potential campaign staffers in place as they await word of his plans.

Even prior to O’Rourke’s meteoric rise, many Democratic fundraisers had approached the large number of 2020 contenders with apprehension, fearful of committing early to one candidate. But the prospect of a presidential bid by O’Rourke, whose charismatic Senate candidacy captured the party’s imagination, has suddenly rewired the race.

But . . . But . . . He was only HALF black and “. . . wasn’t down for the fight!”

Robert Francis O’Rourke is an unqualified FAKE, just like Ophonybama was - perhaps more so!

We may have learned our lesson when we ditched Reason, Logic and Common Sense to elevate Ophonybama WAAAAAAAY past his Peter Principle!

Are we about to try that failed tactic again?

I sure hope not!

He’s Barack Obama, but white’

Vato or whetever he calls himself is better than white - he's a white guy who pretends to be Mexican. Perhaps Rachel Dolezal could be his running mate in 2020?

Beto's losing campaign may have captured the party's imagination, but not its understanding of transitive relations. I guess they skipped math class that day.

Neither was obama Constitutionally eligible. The voters still put him in the White House two times.

It was more difficult to prove and articulate at the time.

They wanted him a lot worse. She’s not that “charismatic” to enough people. She’s not a “magic negro”. Fact is, when you are in the right place at the right time, you can get away with more stuff. It happened with obama and it is happening right now with Trump. Neither one should have been a viable candidate, and would not have been at any other time in history.

From the headline, the phrase “blows up”in this “context”’ in general has to be the most ignorant slang co-option in recent years. It basically means the opposite of the original meaning, which makes it useless. I refuse to drastically lower my IQ by using that phrase in that context.

You missed his mother running a money laundering operation out of her family furniture store in El Paso and his dad getting whacked after getting busted for cocaine, turning states evidence, and then getting whacked.

That ship sailed with the election of the Halfrican Obama.
Harris shares the all important melanin count with Obama. It covers all shortcomings and allows them to use the Race Card with impunity.

Any attempt to use the citizenship requirement on her will be met with howls of racism that will be deafening.
Count on it.

He somewhat resembles a young James Coburn, I guess.

He was not black but bi-racial. Otherwise known as a mullato but maybe a Mullah too since his is a Muslim.

Not rumors. Harris and Brown were an item that was well known in San Francisco.

Newsflash: there won’t be RINO opposition in 2020, those days have past. Plus there won’t be a financial collapse. Likely there will be crop failures, and socialism will not be perceived as a solution.
