Beto Has a Path to the Presidency: Lincoln’s
Politico ^ | December 1, 2018 | Mark Perry

Of all the places in Washington, Beto O’Rourke chose to run to the Lincoln Memorial. Jogging through an early winter storm in the capital the week following his loss in the race for U.S. Senate, O’Rourke found himself, gimpy knee and all, running up the steps of the majestic monument to the 16th president. There, he wrote in a Medium post, he paused to read the words of Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address. Suddenly, his knee stopped hurting—as if Honest Abe’s words had a special healing power (but “maybe it just needed to fully warm up,” he wrote).

So lemme get this straight.

The democrats have spent the last four years talking about white Privilege, the evils of being a male, Black Lives Matter and on an on. Therefore, their solution is to nominate a white dude.

The media is going to pimp Beta boy as the first skateboard riding Gen X POTUS. And draw comparisons to the 1992 election.

This is why I don't see them nominating Beto. That and the fact that blacks won't be motivated to vote for a cracka.

Stupid had better read up on Lincoln’s history. It didn’t end well for him (the nation’s loss). Losing Beto would be a plus to the cause of intelligence and freedom. He would not be missed by sane people.

However, in America, he might get lucky and fool enough “Stupids” to get elected to the Texas State Legislature or as head of the state’s Jogging Association (known affectionately as J.ASS for short).

After all, when you jog, if you are NOT the leader, then everyone else has the same view in front of them.

I don’t remember Abraham Lincoln using “F” bombs during his Senate campaign:

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Lincoln didn’t change Robert Francis to Beto.

They are trying to submarine Biden -- who Trump will beat by +100EV -- with this Bebo doofus. 'Say Iowa, why take the Old Dog when you can have the New Dog?'

It won't work and it won't work because Bebo has a Ballsey-Ford in his past from his punk band days. Timing, as they say, is everything.

The insane left really is excited over this man. Why? is he a sex symbol for the millions of airhead hysterics who vote according to the wishes of their nether regions?

Beto could not buy Texas and he sure as heck can’t buy the United States!

No, Abe left the House in 1849; he did not run for the Senate against Stephen Douglas until 1858.
