Todd prefaced his comments this way: I want to play a quick montage. Beto O'Rourke, the Bobby Kennedy of millenials, decided to go negative.

CBS in early October hyped ORourke as a rising star. Sadly for journalists, the rising star is now losing by an average of seven points. Over on MSNBC, Wednesday, Eddie Glaude Jr predicted an ORourke victory, adding, If not, then I'll just reach for my Jamieson bottle.

Fauxrourke Ping.
Well, does have promise in the Drive Like a Kennedy department.
Oh, give him some time.
“I’ll just reach for my Jamieson bottle.
Reach for the oleander, scheisskopf, and chow down.
I call him "Twitchy O'Rourke."

Jameson (not Jamieson) Whiskey was how the Kennedy family made their money. Smuggling it not making it.
No truer words were ever spoken my friend.
Thank you. There must be a reason why Christ referenced not only the days of Noah, but the days of Lot.
And it’s happening world-wide.
Documented in Bobbys top secret FBI file. They started shagging each other as early as 3 days following JFKs assassination. Ethel knew Bobby was a serial cheater, she knew all the Kennedy men were serial cheaters.
The official story on how he got the name is on his wki page, if you believe it.

I'm not sure if he means that as a complement or an insult.
After his assassination, RFK became a secular saint. But in real life he was an SOB as his brother's attorney general (I believe he had MLK wiretapped), served as a staffer to Joe McCarthy and even had McCarthy as godfather to one of his and Ethel's children (before distancing himself from same after his censure), and very opportunistically jumped into the 1968 race after LBJ dropped out and he saw how well Eugene McCarthy was doing as an anti-war candidate (and this after serving in his brother's admin which initially got us into Viet Nam). And that after being elected as a carpetbagger senator in New York (preceding Hillary Clinton). He was definitely a very very mixed bag. And other than giving some good speeches I dont know what he ever accomplished. He did not however, leave any women to drown in his submerged car.
Should be named Beta ORourke
The beta male.
They make such a cute couple. They could be called Up Chuck and Bobby Socks.
Both clueless and enough to make one throw up by listening to them.
The Jon Ossof of this years election. An empty suit who skate boards into rallies.
Call him Beta. Running against Alpha.
To be fair Ted Cruz’s real name is Rafael. I was talking with a friend during their debate last night which is worse, to play down your hispanic heritage and go by Ted or play it up and go by Beto?
PS Re: Beto
A search of the Nexis news database turned up additional perspective.
A March ORourke profile in the Dallas Morning News said the candidates father, the late Pat ORourke, who was elected El Pasos county judge, once explained why he nicknamed his son Beto: Nicknames are common in Mexico and along the border, and if he ever ran for office in El Paso, the odds of being elected in this mostly Mexican-American city were far greater with a name like Beto than Robert Francis ORourke.
The dif is Cruz is from Canada and he changed his name because he was being made fun of as a young kid, not for political purposes.
He was “Mr. Etch a Sketch” befcre Romney was....anti-union in the early ‘60s, then hard left by the late ‘60s.
