Beto’s consolation prize: Running for president

Beto O’Rourke dodged a bullet. The Texas congressman came dangerously close to beating Ted Cruz on Tuesday.

Lest his groupies wallow for long in defeat, they should know there’s a lot for them to like about his loss: No getting bogged down in the drudge-work of a freshman senator in the minority or obligation to fulfill his duty to serve out his term.

And, to O’Rourke’s credit, there was no blowout, a fate that would have extinguished his star. Indeed, he showed an unapologetic liberal could compete and almost win in Texas.

The Dems should run Robert....I think the ticket should be Beto/Warren...both are fake - a fake Hispanic and a Fake Indian...

Look a Loving County, one of the largest and most famous counties in all of Texas.

Loving County is the second smallest county in the United States in terms of population.

You could fit a whole lot of Loving - well over 28,000 Loving counties - into Harris County (Houston).

He may unseat Cornyn in 2020. He has the campaign infrastructure in place.

He has an ill-defined air of awesomeness that only liberals can see.

I thought his air of awesomeness was brain farts.

Beto will probably expire from an overdose before 2020.
