Robert O’Rourke Flails His Way Into the Race

RUSH: The hot-to-trot news of the day. Beto O’Rourke, Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, after saying he wasn’t gonna run for the presidency, today went to Iowa and flailed around with his arms gesticulating, wildly claiming he is gonna run. He’s got the craziest agenda. I hope these people keep talking.

Every time these Democrats open their mouths, they are creating more Trump voters. Do not doubt me on this, folks. Do not doubt me. We have not become a socialist nation yet. These people are not appealing to a mass or majority of people in this country.

Only in the Democrat Party could somebody who loses a Senate race be said to be the front-runner in the presidential contest. But what’s happening, the Democrat Party’s not digging Beto. Beto is too white. And there’s all kinds of commentators and media people that are livid at people for being so excited over Beto! Where was this excitement for Kamala Harris, they’re saying. Where was this excitement for Cory Booker? There wasn’t any of this kind of excitement, proving there’s even racism on the Democrat side. Yet Beto gets in and all bets are off?

The Club for Growth has put together an ad or two on Beto O’Rourke video ads. They run about two minutes. They are awesome. And they are devastating. They make mincemeat of the guy. We’ll link to a couple of them at RushLimbaugh.com.

They asked Trump — Trump had an Oval Office meeting today with the Irish prime minister — did you see Trump’s tie? What a great tie Trump had on. Normally he wears solid colors. He was wearing a Foulard tie today with the dominant color being green. He had a little green pocket square in there in honor of the Irish prime minister in town. His name is Leo Varadkar.

Anyway, it was a mess. When Trump opened it up to the media, it sounded like 6-year-old Romper Room asking for ice cream. They went bonkers in there. You couldn’t even hear individual questions. But Trump was able to. And I guess they asked him at some point about Beto, and this is what Trump had to say.

THE PRESIDENT: He’s got a lot of hand movement. I’ve never seen so much hand movement. I said, “Is he crazy or is that just the way he acts?” So I’ve never seen hand movement, I watched him a little while this morning doing, I assume it was some kind of a news conference, and I’ve actually never seen anything quite like it. Study it. I’m sure you’ll agree.

RUSH: I love that. “I’m sure you’ll agree.” He’s right. Beto was all over the place here. It was odd. It was odd. But aside from that, folks, I’m just telling you: When these people announce what they’re for, they are creating more and more Trump voters, even among people who may be even lukewarm toward Trump. Let me just give you a summary of what Beto said today. Beto O’Rourke… He “released a video alongside his wife, Amy, announcing his candidacy.” In the video he talks about “interconnected crises in our democracy,” “the economy and climate.”

He “promises to unleash the genius of the United States” to fix them. In his first-ever visit to Iowa, he starts off with this apocalyptic notion about global warming. He said that “large parts of the world will soon be uninhabitable.” You thought I was making this up. You thought that I was exaggerated a bit every time I’ve told you that there’s a bunch of Millennials out there who really believe the earth is not gonna be habitable by the time they’re 65. Here comes Beto! He says: Illegal immigration? No big deal!

And you better get ready for even more because mass migration of “climate refugees” will mean tens of hundreds of millions on the U.S. border. You think people want to vote for somebody that thinks this is gonna happen? Climate refugees, tens or hundreds of millions of people on the U.S. border — and what’s happening down there now is nothing compared to what’s gonna happen? He then “praised the Green New Deal as the best proposal to address the singular crisis we face, a crisis that could at worst lead to human extinction”!

Could you just see people running to the polls to vote for this? He’s got a website. It’s got merchandise and fundraising buttons. No issues or position phrases on the buttons. Here’s a summary of what Beto is for, his policy positions. He’s against a border wall. He voted against ICE. He voted against Kate’s Law — that’s Kate Steinle — on sanctuary cities. He voted against the Trump tax cuts. He is in favor of single-payer health care, Medicare for all. He voted against sanctioning Iran, and he has calls the cops “the new Jim Crow.”

This guy has determined that the electorate on the Democrat side is leftist insane, and he’s making a beeline for them. This has caused others in the Democrat Party to react with some caution. Michael Avenatti. Just after Robert O’Rourke announced that he’s running, Avenatti tweeted… Now, he’s the lawyer for Stormy Daniels — well, is the ex-lawyer for Stormy Daniels. He fired her. He fired his client. The odds are that she didn’t pay him. The odds are that there was no gigantic payday for Avenatti.

The odds are that Avenatti may have thought he was gonna be in the front running or in the lead for the Democrat presidential nomination. Do not discount that. These people are that deranged. Anyway, none of that has materialized. None of the wealth, none of the riches, none of the acclaim, none of the fawning. None of this happened to Avenatti. So now he tweets, “If the Dems nominate a weak glorified cheerleader candidate to face Trump, then we deserve the outcome, which will be a Trump re-election. Trump is not to be underestimated.

“Nominating a candidate who is not battletested [sic] and a fighter will ensure he wins again.” So the Democrats… This is something that we don’t see very often. We do see it occasionally, but not much. The Democrats are now engaged, in the process of critiquing each other. And I’m telling you, Beto has brought a bunch of them out of the woodwork, and they are launching into him. African-American media people are livid at all the excitement that’s greeting Beto O’Rourke’s announcement. They can’t stand it!

Robert O’Roarke?

Sounds Hispanic. :D

[LeoWindhorse]

I simply cannot believe the good Texans allow this guy to go around trying to represent their State .

[cuban leaf]

I remember, a couple of months before the elections, Michael Medved said O’Roarke had no intention of winning the race he was in in Texas and that it was simply a prelude to running for president. Then I noticed there were way too many articles discussing how popular he was in places like NY and Cal.

I swear, if he actually becomes the next president, I’ll start taking those “Antichrist” theories seriously.

That would be the only explanation.

[marron]

He knows that Utopia vs Reality combined with vote fraud is a winning combination. So it may as well be him as some other dweeb.

[Slyfox]

Now that Hillary did not pull it through, how are we going to get back in power?

That Beto guy looks good. Let's meet up with him and offer our "help."

[Responsibility2nd]

Uhhh. No.

We don’t allow it. As is clear by us defeating Beto in the last election.

Besides, he’s from El Paso. If it were up to me, we’d give that place over to New Mexico. Or Old Mexico. Or whatever.

Beto is a fake Mexican. Like he is a fake Texan.

[Spirochete]

I simply cannot believe the good Texans allow this guy to go around trying to represent their State

We don't. That's why he lost the senate race.

Anyone can go around shooting their mouth off and claiming to be Texan. He looks like a Kennedy and I believe he is. Where was Ted in January 1972?

[NoLibZone]

Texas died in the 90s’.

[CharlesMartelsGhost]

[_Jim]

Does he have the characteristics of a ‘tweaker’ or what?

[Responsibility2nd]

Texas died in the 90s’.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No, we did not. Although we were nearly dead with Ma Richards as our governor from 1991-1995; we got better.

It was only a flesh wound.

[_Jim]

Wait - what - is John Edwards in front of a boat? Named what?

Oh - I see it now ... white pick-em-up trick, not a white fiberglass sailing vessel ...

My bad!

[Old Yeller]

Bobby O

[BlackAdderess]

No, Kamala is the Antichrist, Beto is just an odd man with some sort of body movement issue.

[LeoWindhorse]

Chris Kyle(s)

[Conserv]

Beta is a joke.

He said one of the reasons rural Texans need high speed internet is so that they can go on Tinder and get dates.

LMAO

[Kaslin]

Neither can I.

[simpson96]

Meh.

He's a mosquito, about to be squashed against Trump's windshield.

[1Old Pro]

Beta is a joke.

I smell a contest to come up with a more suitable name than Beto….Beta, Fago,
