Just like Obama, Democrats are falling for the idea of Beto 2020
Fox News ^ | November 22, 2018 | Andrew O'Reilly

Posted on 11/23/2018 5:14:10 AM PST by C19fan

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 O’Rourke 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 attracts the large donors....A huge advantage. I can see a Beto-Kamala or (idiot) Booker ticket in 2020.

Cruz won his first senate race in 2012, a Presidential year. He benefited from a large turnout in a solid red state and the growing dislike of Obama who received 3.5 million less votes nationally than in 2008.

Cruz proved to be a sore loser in 2016 who pointedly refused to endorse Trump at the GOP convention despite being given a primetime speaking spot on TV. Instead, he told people to “vote their conscience.” Cruz was never popular in the Senate having few friends. The term likeable is seldom used for Cruz.

Gov Abbott clearly outperformed Cruz. Of course, he did not have an opponent with over $100 million and most of Hollywood trying to unseat him.

See, told y’all he didn’t care about the Senate job as his campaign was for name recognition in 20.

The Democrat field will be real crowded in 2020 and as a result, the primary race will be nasty. I think Beto will be sliced and diced early in the process. I hope Hillary runs because there will be no deference to her this time. She’s had her chances and the youngsters are tired of waiting on the sidelines to get into the game.

It won’t be him. They’ll use him to get millions of airheads of the opposite sex (and a few thousand of the same sex) excited over him, and then they’ll nominate a big America hater like the muzzy from Minnesota.

We lost the House because the KKKrats got The Cheat running smoothly again after the 2016 debacle, where they sat on their hands because Felonia was going to win walking away.

Also, the 40 House Rinos who "retired" knew that incumbents have a 96% re-election rate, and they knew that at least half their seats were going to be lost to KKKrats once they were up for grabs.

The House was a combination of those things, not over-confidence on our part.

You have to worry about defeating The Cheat of 2020, now that the KKKrats have shown us what's in store with the Orange County Mexifornia Steal.

Obama received more votes than any Presidential candidate in history. His 2008 total was the highest in history with 2012 being the second highest for any candidate. Third was Hillary Clinton in 2016. Fortunately, the popular vote is not how we elect our presidents.

Maintaining the status quo on legal immigration will make the Dems the permanent majority party within a decade. By 2019, half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as classified by the USG. Each cohort that turns 18 annually will be more minority and more Dem than the previous one.

We have brought in 35 million legal permanent immigrants since 1990. This is the equivalent of the current population of Canada. Close to 90% of the 1.1 million legal immigrants who enter each year are minorities. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem. Immigrants and their US born children drive 80% of our population growth. By 2043 non-Hispanic whites, the primary GOP base, will be 50% of the population, down from the current 63% today, and the 89% in 1970.

CA is the canary in the coal mine when it comes to the electoral impact of mass immigration.

“Why? Because we acted like we weren’t behind and didn’t need to get people out to vote.”

I disagree! First of all, it would have been historic for the House to stay Republican. Why the f*cked up voters of this country find it impossible to stay with a winning combination escapes me. I guess there are too many stupid, brain dead citizens in this country, but it’s been the case for all of my lifetime and probably long before. Secondly, the GOPe has been doing everything it could, working with their RAT buddies (and totally against the policies that Trump has been trying to implement) to “get things back to their kind of normal,” where they get paid for being “the loyal opposition,” welching on every promise they made to the voters if we would only vote them into the majority.
The biggest thing we have to fear right now is the number of “Establishment Republicans who are still on the government payroll.

I sincerely hope Beto runs for president in 2020. Won’t that be fun?

Need to figure out a way to put all the running RATS in a barrel. Just add water :)

You are correct.

People voted for the D. They could’ve cared less who the person behind it was. It will be the same for beto or any generic dem they put up.

Trump has to win WI, MI, PA, states that went overwhelmingly dem. He also needs FL which was too close for comfort. AZ and even GA appear to be in play.

Throw in the fraud and 2020 will be a tough one to win.

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.

This bears repeating. I think for Trump to be re-elected, he has to start acting more "Presidential". Of course, this will be met with howls of derision, but thats my opinion. He has already lost a few people I know because of this. Can he gain more than he has lost? I hope so. Besides, if Trump were to go Presidential, it would drive the MSM and the liberals absolutely insane, I mean, more than they are now...

I think we could blunt the ‘highest number of votes’ by knowing how many CITIZENS are in each District. If the number of votes goes over, at all, the number of citizens, we will have a claim to non-citizens voting. That’s the only way to get a fair election. That and complete reregistration of the country....but I suspect the Dems would fight that hard. There are stories of California Dems signing the people on skid row in LA, many using multiple fake names, for the offer of cigarettes or alcohol. Reregistration may the only way to a fair election.

For no apparent reason he was a national phenomenon. He is a demonstration of what the left machine can do with a compliant population.

That was my impression too. No one knew him six months ago. Like Obama's run for the WH. Now everyone's falling over themselves to "love" him, like they did with Obama.

He's just another media-generated messiah with no "there" there.

What is it with the anti-American global socialist left, and made up/fake/nicknames or Hollywood names!?!?

In fact, it is clear the anti-American/lawless/global socialist/overlord/agitators and strategist spend time inventing and testing false persona’s (Actors), to see what most attracts the academically left wing indoctrinated, economically, historically, and morally illiterate sample audience which really does comprise their Democrat voter base.

These postmodern American left-wing Hollywood actiing “personas” obviously tend toward exclusion of historically derived Northern European names (because they are “white”), in favor of Southern or non-European 3-4 letter names. Only a brainwashed fool even could believe this a coincidence, or not recognize it.

Additionally, this is targeted, as these anti-American plantation overlord global socialists also seem to love intimidating patriotic Americans, those who espouse moral boundaries, and life and liberty loving voters, who only wish to pass liberty on to their children.

Consider just these two samples.

**Barry Soetoro = Barrack Hussein Obama = “Obama”

(But its racist, hateful, and islamophobic to ever whisper Hussein, and hateful to call him Barry Soetoro, even though it is true, and derived from the actor himself!)

Being the lawless anti-christian liberty destroyer “Obama” really was and is hell bent on destroying all morality and America, it honestly could be argued “Obama” could more accurately be short for “Obama-nation”!

I would be surprised if these DNC strategist guys (gender its) didn’t literally and frequently laugh at the dumb sheep who they had manipulated and controlled through even the use of the Hollywood persona “Obama”.

**Now consider Robert Francis O’Rourke = “Beto” O’Rourke = “Beto”

Where did this come from?!?! The dudes not Spanish or Latino, but Irish!

And he is not peasant or middle class. O’Rourke’s mother was the step daughter of Fred Korth, Secretary of the US Navy under President Kennedy, who owned a high-end furniture store, and O’Rourke’s father was a County Commissioner, Judge, and associate of Texas Governor Mark White, and served on two presidential campaigns for Democrat Jesse Jackson. His education began at Escuela Montessori Del Valle, went through Woodberry Forest School (all male), and ended at Columbia University. O’Rourke has also been arrested multiple times, including for DWI, but the charges have always been dropped. Hmmm… I wonder why?

This guy oozes highly protected elite, but like Obama, has been recreated for the poor and ignorant masses.

One of the Spanish nicknames for Roberto = “Beto”

Guess we know who this strategically DNC placed and targeted acting persona was aimed at! That wouldn’t possibly be targeting any specific demographic at all!

Where could I have possibly heard of another popular socialist with a similar sounding name… “Beto”?

Oh, I remember… Sounds like another popular national socialist (fascist) named “Benito”

“Benito Mussolini”! WoW, and Robert Francis O’Rourke’s targeted popular “persona”, or acting name is “Beto”?!

Really!?!?

These DNC gender confused strategist, could probably not laugh any harder at their segregated constituency.

Regardless, both are/were humanist, and coincidence or not, “Beto’s” humanistic GLOBAL socialist ideology ultimately differs from “Benito’s” humanist NATIONAL socialist ideology, ultimately over whether or not a national socialist government controls and subjugates the world, eradicates individual liberty, and takes all the land, or an international (global) socialist government controls and subjugates the world, eradicates individual liberty, and takes all the land.

Again, here we go. It is clear the anti-American/lawless/global socialist/overlord/agitator DNC strategist invented or found, and have now tested another false persona (Actor), to see what most attracts the academically left wing indoctrinated, economically, historically, and morally illiterate sample audience targeting their actual comprised Democrat voter base.

And again, “Beto” is “in your face”, if you are a liberty loving, traditional family values, God fearing, patriotic American, who believes in US sovereignty, the critical relevance of our Constitution, and democratically elected parliamentary governance! He even graduated from Columbia like the very Barry Soetoro allegedly did!

Whether humanistic national socialist (Fascist) bent on subjugating societies, or global socialist (Communist) bent on subjugating societies, there is a history of this type of targeted and false “persona” acting.

Consider “Che”, “Mao”, “Stalin” etc... These names were either popular “persona” abbreviations, or as with Stalin, outright fake.

Either way, the targeted audience knew them by popular persona. These “personas” were also popular, and intentionally targeted to youth and younger generations through there public education systems in there time, and today!

*Hmmm... Sound familiar? How ironic...

Recall one of the greatest and most violent mass murderers of all time, the historically modern leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), the global socialist (communist) Stalin (meaning steel in Russian).

**His real name was Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili = Iosif (Joseph) Stalin (Steel) = Stalin

He was not even from Russia, but rather Georgia, and only 5’4”. Isn’t it also a bit weird, many militant socialist ideologues somehow also tend to be little guys. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Benito, Cardenas, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Che, Obama, Obrador, Beto etc…

Previously a member of the [Russian] Social Democratic Workers Party, before being picked by the Soviet Politburo as the leader of the USSR, Stalin became the bloodiest leader (communist dictator) of Russian and the Soviet Union, and killed 10’s of millions, both within and outside of Russia proper. Multiple researchers at Ria Novosty (1990’s Moscow), and the Russian author and historian Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, put the actual number of dead from Stalin at between 60-65 million people. A few historians, after including several more victimized/subjugated countries and forcibly oriented Soviet Block nations (thank you FDR), place the number higher. This does not count the many millions who died as the communist were taking over Russia, and under Lenin’s leadership and all land being nationalized. Left wing socialist academia in Europe and the US today, claim numbers of dead under “Stalin” at anywhere from 20-30 million.

Awe, how comforting. Stalin wasn’t so bad after all.

However, these numbers of dead do not include or reflect the true nature and origination of WWII and “Stalin’s” involvement in both. The truly deadly civil war in China (before WWII) was itself, in part due to the global socialist objectives of the communist in Moscow, as well as WWII breaking out in Europe, as it was also due to both the national socialists (or NAZI) in Germany, and global socialist or communist in Russia. Spain’s deadly civil war, which included the same period, was also a war largely between national socialists (fascists), and global socialist (or communists).

Interestingly, actual Stalin worship is becoming popular again around the world, with left-wing socialist organizations and youth groups. Now we can sleep better tonight, knowing we are on the right track!

Or consider “Mao Zadong” = “Mao”

Like Stalin, Mao did not start out as a socialist, but attended university in Peking/Beijing, where he was indoctrinated and became a communist.

We can be glad that hasn’t been happening with any recent generation of Americans today! /s

In 1921, “Mao” became the founder and leader of the violent and illegal Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In 1923, without getting into all the details, the Kuomintang (KMT) nationalist party allied itself with Mao’s CCP. They had a deadly back and forth (enemy and ally) relationship until after WWII.

What many left-wing apologists, authors of history, and academics have left out, is the fact, “Mao” had been groomed (under an international Soviet Communist program, designed to “educate” and groom potential communist leaders from around the world, from nearly every country, from the US to Kenya). “Mao” was groomed and supported by the Soviet Communist government in Moscow, even traveling back and forth for over a decade before WWII, and was ultimately fully supported by “Stalin” himself, whose aim was a global socialist/communist totalitarian government.

So, whether WWII began in East Asia or Europe, socialist parties were involved in the genesis of war in both locations, working to advance socialism/communism.

In fact, the deadly and violent nature of “Mao’s” CCP had been known by French, British, US, Japanese, and a handful of other foreign intelligence services.

Today, left wing socialist academia and apologists in Europe and the US, claim numbers of dead in China due to “Mao” taking over China and controlling it, at only 45-50 million. What a comforting thought. However, while there is a range, I have personally listened to pro-Mao communist Chinese historians speak of 90-105 million people being necessarily eliminated, all land being nationalized, and belief systems aligned to save China. This does not touch post “Mao” China, or the losses of any other country in Southeast Asia due to aggressive Communist takeover.

Now we can sleep better tonight, knowing this same anti-Christian, anti-moral, anti-American, anti-liberty ideology has absolutely been adopted, and has swept through ALL levels of our education system, and is now popular here in America. /s

It is coming soon, or nearly upon us (think deep state determining their puppet leadership), if not preemptively stopped with prejudice, and proclaiming and teaching the truth and logic of communist history.

Socialists in America rebrand to deceive everything they touch. Today, they call themselves “Progressives” and “Democrats”. They segregate and target demographics, cater their speech, accent, and slang, and try to create false persona! Like the Russians and Germans did, left-wing socialists in America use psychological warfare and humor to mock and segregate out conservatives, and increasingly to target businesses and even elected officials! In the name of human and civil rights, and women’s rights they painfully and violently dismember babies and sell their body parts for profit. In the name of “Civil Rights” they are silencing “Freedom of Religion” and “Freedom of Speech” through the use of “Hate Speech” rulings by a left-wing judicial branch! These same anti-American left-wing globalists who don’t have a problem with infanticide and the sale and use of horrifically murdered babies, and who seek to legalize euthanasia, and who claim the world is overpopulated, and that man is causing “climate change”, are inexplicably at war with the 2 Amendment because “guns are dangerous”!

So now their anti-American global socialist “savior”, who can painfully and torturously kill babies, and kill liberty and America, may be shifting from the utterly fake gods “HRC” and “Obama” to their utterly fake god “Beto”!

Boy, Democrats are such an honest bunch, and so warm and fuzzy…
