FULL TITLE: PIERS MORGAN: Beto O’Rourke is a deluded loser running on a ticket of lies, hypocrisy and the vote-destroying message that all Americans are about to die
Beto O’Rourke is a loser.
In 2016, he ran against Ted Cruz in the Texas Senate race, and lost.
He didn’t lose by much, just 2.6% of the vote in fact.
But he still lost, and in the brutal world of US politics that usually means the last anyone hears from you for the rest of your natural life.
(One of the few exceptions to this rule is Hillary Clinton, who was a double loser – first to Barack Obama in the Democrat nominee race in 2008, then to Donald Trump in the 2016 general election.)
But today, Beto O’Rourke announced he is running for President.
And he did so in rather unconventional fashion – by announcing the end of the world is fast upon us.
As US presidential campaign messages go, it at least had the benefit of being uniquely depressing.
O’Rourke didn’t quite scream ‘WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!’ but he might as well have done.
In direct contrast to Donald Trump’s upbeat winning 2016 slogan of ‘Make America Great Again’, O’Rourke thinks he can win in 2020 by telling 320 million Americans they’re all doomed.
‘We face catastrophe and crisis on this planet,’ he declared, asserting that climate change will unleash ‘massive migration of tens or hundreds of millions of people from countries that are literally uninhabitable or under water.’
He’s not even promising to stop it.
‘Life is going to be a lot tougher for the generations that follow us,’ he said, ‘no matter what we do.’
Right.

Any relation to Mickey O’Rourke?
He’s running to keep his face on TV, and to make some cash on the side.
Irish Bob
Or he might have a God complex as I thought I read where he said he was born to be president.
I could be wrong. Happens often.
As for the article, I never really notice anyone that has known Trump personally or who was on his TV show speak ill of him.
you can’t tell much from a handshake, but I did get to shake his hand when he came over to Rockefeller plaza where i worked.
He seemed genuinely warm and the hello was sincere. He didn’t shake my hand while looking the other way :)
Nicolas Cage was very nice too :)
Chris Matthews was a jerk.
2.6% is a huge number when you consider that the Dems were stealing votes wholesale.
“Any relation to Mickey O’Rourke?’
Probably, both seem to have substance abuse issues.
He lost to Jeff Roe who wouldn’t put up any signs and basically spent nothing on advertising.
Doesn’t matter. Piers Morgan is still a dick.
How many demoncrap cat fights will there be over the next 20 months?
At least Mickey O'Rourke's a man. Little dinky Beato's just a metrosexual douchebag.
What’s with Piers? He has been making a lot of sense as of late.
why is it that only Americans are going to die in 12 years? or is it only western civilization?
if the entire world is going to die, shouldn’t these politicians be traveling the third world countries to alert them it’s time to die? or do we just surprise them?
Another empty suit.
Phoney Beto-Mania, has bitten the dust.
Much like Piers himself.
WTF is going on with Piers? He makes increasing sense.
I did a fairly small ($500k) business deal with him. It went very smoothly. He did what he said he was going to do when he said he was going to do it.
Even Colbert is mocking him.
And Francis spent 3 x the money of Cruz
