If you thought Betomania was over when the Democratic congressman lost his Senate bid to incumbent Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, you'd better think again. Beto has gone nationwide.
With praise coming in from everyone from Beyoncé to former President Barack Obama and the Texas representative hinting at a possible run at the White House in 2020, Beto ORourke has become the cause célèbre among Democratic donors and activists around the country - and looks to shake up what already promises to be a crowded field of Democrats challenging President Trump.

Beto couldnt beat Cruz, although he gave him a run for his money. Trump crushed Cruz. I think Trump squeaks by Beto with just enough white women coming to their senses. Biden is the one Im afraid of. He evokes the nuttiness that elected Zero.
Don’t sell him short. They rode a rich Black dude to two terms in the White House.
Thank you. Robert Francis is infinitely more electable than the Pantsuit, who was the worst candidate the Dems could have run in 2016. Robert Francis doesn’t need TX. He only needs to flip back PA, WI, MI and FL. The midterm results indicate all those goals are achievable.
If he couldn’t beat Ted Cruz, Trump is gonna grind him into the turf.
He ran as a gun-grabbing, far-left San Francisco socialist and came within 3 points of Ted Cruz. In Texas. People here need to let this fact sink in.
He is sitting on millions of dollars, a contact list of millions of voters, a well-oiled campaign machine, and the painful (but incredibly valuable) lessons that come from losing a close race.
Beto isn't going anywhere. The Democrats could put him at the top of the ticket and he stands as good a chance as anyone to beat President Trump.
He’s failing upwards. Only in America.
GIVE US BARABBAS!
And he appeared outta nowhere. This, alone, should make him suspect. BO’B, appearing outta nowhere managed to give us a decade of heartburn and grief. You see the comparison, I see the comparison (and begin to shake) Others, they’ve not learned from history. Aesop’s Fables are wasted on them.
For no apparent reason he was a national phenomenon. He is a demonstration of what the left machine can do with a compliant population.
Another Chauncey Gardner candidate, just like the latte 0bama.
People better never under-estimate Beto; he could win nearly any office in TX in 2020, but John Cornyn gets a pass because Beto no longer has too much interest in the Senate. If Beto ran against Cornyn, he would cream him.
Didn’t Robert O’Rourke lose?
He’ll be the nominee. No doubt in my mind. Pretty boy like Obama and a young BJ. Women take their pants off. Didn’t work with John Edwards. Name one Democrat that’s got the likable factor. See how it worked with Gore, Kerry, her thighness.
Obama is just like Carter: an utter disaster as President, but with such a large ego that he will be happy to have an even bigger disaster as President, so long as it is during his life, so that people will stop saying, “Worst President EVAH” about him.
Two f’ing scumbags. Oh, plus Beta the fake wetback.
Pretty sure Trump will do what other Republicans havent. Every time Betonweighs in on a Trump Admin policy or action, Trump will Twitter Tourch him.
Trump will minimize him for the next two years.
I have all sorts of doubts in my mind.
Not a minority. Does not have a vagina. Does not pass any of the relevant must-haves for a Democrat nominee in the 21st. Century.
Plus he is not battle-tested. One failed campaign and he thinks he’s ready to go up against Trump? Seriously??
It was this attitude, the attitude that "PDJT is loved everywhere because I love him and thus we are going to gain seats!" that cost us the house. How many posts did I see that said "the polls are wrong and we are going to gain seats?"
Yep! A whole lotta whistling past the graveyard going on here. Freepers here sounding like Pauline Kael, "There's no way the Democrats can win! I don't know anyone who is voting for them!"
Had the dims ran a different candidate in 2016....someone appealing to the inner cities that would have GOTV there, we would not be talking about PDJT.
People forget that a significant number of Donald Trump's votes came from the "Anyone but Hillary" crowd. They're unlikely (though not guaranteed) to make the same mistake in 2020 of putting someone so divisive on the ticket. They put someone like Beto at the top and he pacifies the ABH voters.
” No problem she qualifies when she adds in her IQ.”
God MUST love stupid people, He made so many of them. At least He was kind enough to motivate them to put a “-D” after their name, or to vote for their fellow drooling morons, so that we could be prepared.
I personally know some lefties who think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the first female POTUS and are 100% in love with her.
That said, anything is never a shock with these people.
Yep. An unapologetic gun-grabbing San Francisco-styled far-Left socialist lost in Texas by less than 3 points against a man who won his previous Senate race by 16 points.
Yes. Apparently Democrats arent as smart as they keep telling us they are. Look at their last three Presidential candidates. BJ was (apparently) good looking and had personality. Obama, the same. And we had to be told how inteligetn they were. And they both won. Hillary, not so good looking but we were told again, the smartest woman in the country. But her looks didnt get her into the WH. Democrats are gullible and sub-intelligent for picking the face guy. Beto is so cool and good looking. The skateboard entrance to the rally sealed it for the snowflakes. SMH.
