Beto O’Rourke appears close to a presidential run
The Washington Post ^ | February 28, 2019 | Matt Viser

Beto O’Rourke and his advisers are sending strong signals that he’s on the brink of announcing a run for president, a move that would conclude a months-long period of public and private introspection and alter the complexion of the crowded 2020 Democratic primary field.

O’Rourke’s possible candidacy has been one of the most widely anticipated, following the enthusiasm he generated in a failed run for U.S. Senate from Texas, to the frustration of other hopefuls in a formidable field who note that he’s a former three-term congressman who lost his only attempt to win statewide office.

By design or accident, O’Rourke’s extended period of indecision has generated a suspense around his decision that few other candidates can match. He intensified interest this week by telling reporters that he and his wife had made a decision and were “excited to share it with everyone soon.”

Aides have been discussing how to handle, for example, campaigning in Iowa. And those around O’Rourke have been receiving unsolicited résumés, offers to have O’Rourke stay at private homes, and — from one supporter — an offer to donate the website domain betosback.com.

I can’t stand to watch Betty. Hope he gets knocked out early so I don’t have to listen about the stupidity of tearing down the existing border wall among the other idiocies every time the socialist/communist speaks.

Hot air can sell very well in these United States of America. People in TX must still be infatuated with the fake “Beto”.

I’ve been saying it!

(Not the only one.)

THIS guy was being positioned to be the next Obama.

Francis (never call him Beto) is a fake Hispanic, but that doesn’t matter.

He’s got Kennedy looks and Teddy’s driving skills.

I wonder which Left wing billionaire owns him?

Beat Off O’Rourke, a former chickensh*t congressman, couldn’t even win in his own state.
