Another empty suit the Dems are trying to inflate. It proves too that the RAT leadership and donor class have no confidence in the other empty suits who are contemplating a presidential run.

No candidate has a real identity. What we see is what they want us to see, passed through the distortion lens of the media.

The media can take an America-hating, White-loathing racist traitor who smoked pot and has practiced the G in LGBT, and turn him into a brilliant, loyal, cleancut, intelligent-talking Son of God sex symbol Savior of the World.

The press can transform a mean, angry, America-hating opportunist with zero value system and a past of dead bodies strewn on the ground and a history of breaking the law without punishment, and present her to the world as the Most Intelligent Woman in the World, a brilliant, kind grandmother who will break down all those barriers.

They can also turn an America-loving, hard working, superachiever into a nazi.

So they will turn beto into a sex symbol for the women (and some men), the world’s most intelligent man, a superstar, the New Jesus Christ, and the Answer to Donald Trump. And a stupid public with its head still up its a$$ will slavishly say “yes yes.”

No doubt. He’s not to be ignored but really has nothing impressive to show. He will be handled by the real contenders. I suspect he has more in his background that the left can leverage to destroy than the right can do.

Could have been written in 2008 about Obama. Big difference is the "but he's white" part. And that's a really big difference versus electing the first black President and ending racism forever (or so fools thought).

If he’s the next “annointed one” it won’t matter. The Leftwing media will bury it like they did for Bammy.


Yep. Frat boy “Beto” has top cover from the Democrat media.

He’s the ideal candidate for Dems as far as I can see. New face, white male to run against Trump, poops money like the Kenyan does/did, no beltway stink on him, etc. His physical resemblance to Robert Kennedy no doubt will get boomer grandmothers swooning. Vapid suburban soccer moms will love his skateboarding and boyish next door looks. That will draw comparisons to BJ Clinton. Pair him with a youngish black VP like Andrew Gillum and you have the Dem ticket in 2020, IMO.

Toss in a Never Trump 3rd party candidate and you have a POTUS race a lot like 1992. 2020 will be interesting for sure. We live in historic times. No doubt.

Kamala Harris is the only woman on the planet who can make Hillary look marginally acceptable.

If he wins the nomination it will be fun to see how Trump brands him.

The Democrat party has become a cult of personality. Irish Bob has done nothing but lose a race, but “Beto” is cool and catchy, so vote for “Beto”.

I have to believe Kamala Harris and company are ramping up their research departments to go through Robert'sBeto's background in an attempt to knee cap him.

Beto O'Rourke arrested in 1990s for burglary and DWI

Why did nobody mention that Beto O’Rourke’s wife is a billionaire heiress?

It’s been posted her several weeks ago.

O’Rourke is a media created artificial event. Nothing more. The man is as exciting as a bowl of white rice.

Kamala is not eligible. Citizenship requirements are not met. Like Schwarzenegger, she can serve in some offices, but not POTUS.


Or Vice President

Beto is looking to be the "Justin Trudeau" of the U.S.

He's got all the hip moves that make the kiddies swoon.

We'd be fools to underestimate him. He almost beat Ted Cruz in Texas!

At least Beta is eligible, more than can be said for Kamala Harris, born Jamaican, Indian and American.

Native born is not sufficient.
The founders insisted on natural born.
NATURALLY a citizen because they could be no other.

Those guys don’t have the sand to challenge a black woman.

Mad Max is completely unhinged, yet not one member of the gop leadership make a peep.
