Beto O’Rourke, the youthful Texan who gained a national following with his long-shot election battle against U.S. Senator Ted Cruz last year, on Thursday launched a bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.The 46-year-old O’Rourke, a former three-term U.S. congressman and a punk rocker in his youth, pledged to tackle “the interconnected crises in our economy, our democracy and our climate.” “This moment of peril produces, perhaps, the greatest moment of promise for this country,” he said in an online video.

He is a sickly lowlife. Yet he does not exist in a social or cultural vacuum. Much of America is decadent and hedonistic. He has a vile constituency.

The only thing they can claim for him is that some airhead females will find him sexy. He’s as much of an idiot as the other candidates.

I don’t think they will nominate him. White male! it will be a hate filled non-White and non-male.

...long-shot election battle against U.S. Senator Ted Cruz last year...

Ah, so now it was a “long-shot battle”. I don’t particularly recall it being played that way.

If this scarecrow couldn’t win the state of Texas with voter fraud, how does he expect to on a national level?

Another privileged rich kid who didn’t make it on his own. He has never had to work for a living, and has done nothing in his career as a member of the U.S. congress, made possible through his daddy’s money in El Paso.

However, in all his spare time, he has watched enough tapes of the Kennedy brothers, who parlayed their boyish looks into very successful political careers.

We can only hope that U.S. voters are smarter now.

I’m sick of him being called Beto. It’s not even his real name. Just another part of the fraud that he is.

Out of all the people who have jumped in, I believe he is the one who is going to give us the biggest headache.

He has a huge ground game already in place, all over the country. Plus, just after he lost the Senate race to Ted, Barack Obama called him in for a meeting. I would imagine Beto was encouraged that if he decides to run Valerie will help him out the way she did to The Obummer.

Plus, he uses the "F" word all the time. He uses it when it really isn't necessary. His wife hates it when he does that.

So, I think we have to be real smart, smarter than Beto and Valerie Jarrett.
