And Just Like That, Beto Leaps Into The Lead
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

Beto Mania Update: As if on cue with this morning’s Campaign Update, a new poll commissioned by Moveon.org has Irish Bob O’Rourke surging into the lead in the 2020 Democrat nominating contest even before he formally announces his inevitable candidacy:

Beto O'Rourke narrowly tops wide open MoveOn 2020 presidential straw poll, Biden runner up The progressive group had backed Bernie Sanders in 2016 over Hillary Clinton.

Excerpt from the NBC.com article on the poll…

An early straw poll of members of the progressive group MoveOn.org shows a wide-open competition for liberal voters in the 2020 Democratic presidential contest, with Rep. Beto O’Rourke narrowly beating out former Vice President Joe Biden…

The most popular potential candidate was O’Rourke, D-Texas, who was selected by 15.6 percent of respondents, followed by Biden at 14.9 percent, and then Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., with 13.1 percent.

Now, a couple of things to note about this poll: First, it was conducted among the members of Moveon.org, who most observers would assume are on the left flank of the Democrat voter base, and five years ago that assumption would have been true. But is it true now? Probably not – the Party has been pulled so far to the left over the last two years and Moveon.org’s members might well be to the right of the center of that particular leftwing universe these days.

Second, the poll did not include the Coughing Crook among its potential candidates, and anyone who thinks she has given up on her the presidential ambitions that have consumed her entire adult live is living in a dream world.

Third, the poll did include such Democrat luminaries as Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Fauxcahontas and Micheal Bloomberg (who used to pretend to be a Republican), and represents very, very bad news for those characters. Harris and Booker were supposed to be the “young guns” in the 2020 Democrat field, and, after damaging themselves terribly during the Kavanaugh hearings, are in grave danger of seeing their rising moons eclipsed by the Beto Mania that is fast sweeping the country.

Irish Bob is going to be the Democrat nominee in 2020, as amazing as that might still seem to some of you. Yes, he’s a loser. Yes, he has no real qualifications for the job. Yes, there are going to be 20 other candidates in the field.

But he’s going to be the nominee. Might as well just start printing up the bumper stickers now.

That is all.

With a nickname like "Beto" ...

This Irishman named Robert, Rob, Bob, Robby, or Bobby is ...

Americans really don't like phony. Expose the phony.

Do you really think city dwelling and Rust Belt Irish Democrats are going vote for a guy who too ashamed of his Irish heritage to have the proper American Irish nickname for Robert?!?!

Phony as a Irish Gourmet Restaurant !!

Democrat voters love phonies. For proof, see everyone they’ve nominated since, well, forever.

He should run for US Senate in NY. I’m sure he’ll win.

Unfortunately, when you’re competing for the female vote, male eye candy is all that is necessary. Substance is optional.

It could well be that MoveOn.org intends for ORourke to be the next Obama. The first shot to be fired is a “straw poll” of members showing him in the lead. To be clear, this is not a real poll; it is a signal to other leftists that MoveOn has made its decision, and they had better get in line. That is all this release means.

So the next step is for the totalitarians to begin to shape the official party to it’s purposes. Watch for changes in DNC, and its decisions, with advantage ORourke. They have two years, no hurry, but no reason to delay. The signs will continue to appear to the discerning observer.

He’s shiny, and cute. The liberals will flock to him like they did to Zero. But the feminazis will have to throw a tantrum first, after which they’ll fall in line with the rest of the idol worshipers.

As Chris Plante pointed out this AM

NONE OF THE ABOVE got 28%

Beto 15
Biden 13

SO, NONE OF THE ABOVE is leading

At least Obama managed to win in his state... This dude has no chance nationally. The media are in desperation mode... That’s because they know that if they can’t produce something or somebody larger than life itself, they don’t stand a chance against Trump. Especially if they impeach him... Frankly, I think Trumps chances of getting re-elected after being impeached are greater than they would be if isn’t impeached.

I’m guessing a pretty fair share of women democrats are more interested in the eye candy of the female variety.

“Americans really don’t like phony.”

Maybe he will choose Pocahontas as his running mate, and we will have an Hispanic and a Native American on the same ticket.

There are a lot of women who do not fall for “eye candy” and there always have been. And of the women who might fall for the eye candy, many of them have too much sense to vote for eye candy. Yes there are foolish women who vote stupidly, but there are plenty of men who are equally guilty of making the same mistake.

It is hard to accept the term “eye candy” with this younger version of John Kerry.

"if they can’t produce something or somebody larger than life itself"

At the height of Obama's attempts to undermine the military there was a photo making the rounds of a room full of tranny generals.

The Democrats should go with a tranny Eisenhower.

Their slogan can be: I Like Dyke!
