The Left's New Narcissists
American Spectator ^ | March 20, 2019 | Paul Kengor

Posted on 03/20/2019 2:09:46 PM PDT by Twotone

Last week, Beto O’Rourke, who in November lost his bid to be a U.S. senator from Texas, announced to America with great excitement that he’s running for president of the United States. A beaming Beto left the unmistakable impression that he could not wait to run — for our benefit as well as his. Here was a grandiose opportunity to bestow the gift of his person upon the eagerly awaiting masses.

Beto O’Rourke’s announcement promised nothing less than a moment of truth — provided in the form of Beto O’Rourke. Practically hopping out of his seat, with his wife aside him on the verge of shaking pom-poms, the giddy, gushing 46-year-old proclaimed it “a defining moment of truth for this country.” He exudes a steady certainty that the electorate will not be able to get enough of him. Part childish, part girlish, he smacks of an American version of Justin Trudeau — i.e., a train-wreck.

But Beto doesn’t seem to see himself that way. He looks in the mirror, or the nearest camera, and he discerns that voters will not be able to take their eyes off him, just as they cannot take their eyes off Miss Democratic Socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Beto and “AOC” are two shiny kids in the left’s ideological candy-store, clamoring for attention among the progressive kiddies who fawn over them like prom-king and prom-queen. They bask in the attention.

Robert Francis is an emptier suit than Obama, but at least he is eligible, unlike Obama.

One Worlder bosses think that empty suits make better puppets than politicians with some brain in their heads.

“Irish Bob” O’Rourke must not be allowed to appropriate Hispanic culture in his fake nickname!

In the article, he refers to them as not knowing what they don’t know. That’s the problem with these self-assured ignoramuses, they are confident and exude confidence in their drivel and generally there are no journalists who will challenge their ignorance.

We just endured 8 years of a presidential narcissist with the same level of ignorance, unchallenged by a lapdog media (”we can design a system of health care that saves everyone $2500/year, and they can keep their doctor and we can name the whole thing after ME!”)

So...Beta the Cuck says that the world is going to end in 10-12 years.

It begets the question” What if you’re wrong Beta?

What are the consequences for YOU personally for being wrong? The consequences for the rest of us will be dire if we implement your scheme. How are we made whole for YOUR folly?

I suggest that you forfeit YOUR life and the lives of YOUR children as compensation as well as your wealth.

A male version of the equally vapid and clueless AOC. Seems the dummocraps are really flush with these types this year. If idiots were coins, they’d be zillionaires.

Talk about self-serving......

Beto O’Rourke announced to America with great excitement that he’s running for president ...

Seems he cannot wait to run — for our benefit as well as his...

It's his grandiose opportunity to bestow "the gift of his person" upon us.....the eagerly awaiting masses.

Guy's a certifiable nut case.

The guy is rich beyond belief... so why not run for president and be the darling of the media, skateboard in every American’s heart, be the teenager who married the billionaire’s daughter next door, roll up your sleeves for a photo shoot of really hard at work and show your sexy molars to every moron on Youtube. That will do it — but along the ways you have to dump your wife and marry a goblin and have $500 haircuts as you preen and show your spider tattoo that runs down your back and up your butt. You have to be a creative genius and do hot bed yoga with all the trans stars and find your constituency in rehabs and natural food veggie stores across the nation of California. Am I missing anything...? If you don’t do this, and tear down the wall with your Rage Against The Machine T-shirt, you won’t get elected. It’s that simple.

I suppose some poor fools will vote for him. Proud to say I won’t be putting my mark next to this loser’s name.

Two years from now, we'll be treated to a new TV personality having the title of "Former Presidential Candidate Beta O'Rourke".
