Beto ORourke dodged a bullet. The Texas congressman came dangerously close to beating Ted Cruz on Tuesday.
Lest his groupies wallow for long in defeat, they should know theres a lot for them to like about his loss: No getting bogged down in the drudge-work of a freshman senator in the minority or obligation to fulfill his duty to serve out his term.
And, to ORourkes credit, there was no blowout, a fate that would have extinguished his star. Indeed, he showed an unapologetic liberal could compete and almost win in Texas.

And like b o, o rourskie would be only a presidential looking figurehead.
The GOP needs to go on the offensive now. Destroy any hope Beto th Fake-o’s will to run again. Expose his real agenda. Shine sunlight on him.
Note: No one is trying to steal the cash.
Not a smart idea. If he were politically smarter, he’d just keep his campaign apparatus in place and challenge Cornyn.
Similarly, on the Republican side, John James should keep his campaign apparatus running and challenge Peters.
Veep?
Warren-O’Rourke. A fake Indian and a fake Hispanic. Perfect.
No worries. Robert Frances can dine out on that achievement (coming close to beating a Republican in Texas)for decades..........
Was RFK. Jr. (Robert Francis) in Texas around the time of Beto’s conception?
“Hes the odds on favorite for the Dem nom, IMO.”
I think he’ll have to battle Kamala “the Ho” Harris for the nomination.
If she runs he won’t get the white woman vote, the black woman vote or the soy boys who want to notch another “first” for the dems.
In that scenario the best he can hope for is the VP slot because the Ho actually won an election for the Senate.
his resume
Failed musician
Drunk driver left the scene of accident
Married rich inheritor who never worked for anything
Failed Senatorial candidate
Sounds like presidential material
Lord make it so with Joe Biden as his Veep!
Trump would have such a great time with that duo running against him.
Had this happened with a R, the idea of him wanting to be POTUS after losing this election would be turned into an SNL skit.
Sounds like presidential material.
Sounds like D’rat presidential material.
Certainly has the right kind of resume.
These two points are utterly contradictory:
“Lower the barrier to entry for small businesses so that every entrepreneur or emerging growth company can have an opportunity to be successful.
Support stronger antitrust regulations that break up monopolies and trusts that stifle competition and innovation.”
One of the main barriers to entry for smaller business is antitrust. Another is minimum wage, which Bob Frank also supports. Both of these things make it more difficult to create a business and compete with the big guys. I think that’s why Bob Frank supports them.
What a way to waste peoples money! The more he spends, the less for others. Give him credit, unlike Cruz, O’Rourke is a Natural Born Citizen.
So does Kasich pick Flake for his running mate to keep the operation GOPe, or does he choose a Democrat like Anderson did? (There are rumors of Hickenlooper.)
I suspect some TRUMP voters are still pissed at Cruz so they didn't vote for him, maybe even voted for Beto
Robert Francis O’Rourke, not BETO.
Trump will Beto him into the ground ,LOL
