After a period of self-imposed exile, the former Democratic congressman returned to center stage Saturday as he ramps up for a potential 2020 presidential bid, appearing at South by Southwest for the premiere of a new documentary about his failed Senate campaign against Ted Cruz.
It's been 10 days since O'Rourke said publicly that he's made a decision about his political future, but he told reporters on Saturday that he wanted to reveal "it the right way and tell everyone at the same time."

Meanwhile, O'Rourke has lost some shine after taking fire from allies of Bernie Sanders on his left and writing dispatches from the soul-searching post-election road trip that many found to be self-indulgent oversharing. Others took note of his struggles to answer specific policy questions in an interview with the Washington Post.
The new documentary, directed by David Modigliani and produced financially and editorially independent from O'Rourke, could serve as a valuable introduction for Americans who didn't follow his Texas campaign.
O’Rourke granted Modigliani near-total access to both his campaign and his family, and it shows what earned him a fawning national following — his charisma, his accessibility, his oratory.
But it also captures the candidate dropping f-bombs, clenched with stress, complaining about having to "dance" for the press, and snapping at his staff.
"The only feedback I gave was, 'Can you take out some of the expletives from Beto,'" his wife, Amy, said after the premiere.

Bobbie O’ Rutroh
that would be Bobbie Frank
They weren't when they started out.
If they had the money to begin with, would they really have become Communists?
Bobby F-bomb O’Roark
Sounds like a character name from an old Bing Crosby movie.
No, it’s puto O’ Rourke
I don’t think it painted him negatively. It read like a pathetic fanboy piece. Talking about excitement and all that crap.
The press is so horrible.
I’m old enough to remember last year when he was flavor of the month - I’ll bet he was dreaming of a clear path to the nomination, then reality struck and he’s decompensating.
Knowing that she had told me she was pro-life, I said, "But, he and Bill Clinton are really pro-choice."
And she said, "Yeah, I know, but the environment is very important."
I think there are people who really don't pay attention, but they like certain buzzwords, buzzwords that the left have scripted and people turn directions based on those buzzwords.
Another friend told me that she preferred the democrats because, "they really care about people."
Both of these friends are good people but they are politically ignorant.
I assume he’s at least heard that some people whom he would like to have vote for him think it inappropriate to use the f word in front of children, like he did in his concession speech. Also his wife doesn’t like him to talk like that. And still he does... a lot. What kind of person is so lacking in class and/ or self-control?
Poster child for democrats.
One of them.
So many in TX have seriously bought into this “phony”. I fear the 2020 election returns in TX.
“...his playing in a queer band is his only claim to fame.”
Where everyone is either a beater or a blower.
Surprised he has a wife, actually.
You think robert will beat President Trump in Texas ? I Think Trump would beat this BOZO by 25 point, maybe 30 in Texas. Whip him like a red headed step child.
Yeah Beto lost to Cruz.
Cruz ran behind Romney in Texas IIRC.
