Running for president in the age of celebrity is one of the fastest and surest ways to become a bona fide celebrity. Even failing to win his or her partys nomination is still a win-win since the title former presidential candidate beefs up the résumé and increases name recognition, thus paying dividends with TV gigs, speaking engagements and book deals.
There is little downside because running for commander-in-chief can pave the way for another elective office or an easier re-election to ones current office. But best of all, history proves that an initial run for president increases the prospects of winning the nomination the second time around. So whats not to like? These pluses seem to be precisely why there will be standing room only on the debate stage for 2020 Democrats. (The last time I checked there were at least 18 candidates, with more still flirting and exploring, which means the party might need to rent a Super Bowl halftime stage for debates.)

Meh. Pat Paulson was a former presidential candidate. I thought he was funny, but that’s about it. :)
More likely it's explained by meth.
“Irish Bob’s” celebrity is explained by the movie “Idiocracy”.
Who, we don't want as our Potus!
A lover of really rare beef!
A skateboarder without a helmet or pads!
After skateboarding without a helmet and loving your cow, real men dont need a hankerchief:
Then, we have his DWI arrest photos without the Bobby Kennedy tooth fake smile.
This gringo clown, Robert Francis BetoO'Rourke is the Rats male snowflake version of AOC!
Whitey O’Rourke only has fleeting boy band celebrity.
With no accomplishments and limited charisma he only holds the spotlight as long as paid media shills keep mentioning him.
The man is eminently forgettable and leaves no lasting impression.
He rides goofy foot.
Of course.
Too bad is ollie didn't end like this one did.
LOL.
Please explain to me how this rabbit-toothed, long-faced freak is considered attractive to the media!???
power lust + pragmatism + opportunism + eclecticism = a step by step slow deadly moral decay into leftardism
Somebody HAS to make a "Vote for Beto" t-shirt!
Drunk driving mug shot.................................... Punk rocker in floral print dress.
BOL! Thanks!
Please explain to me how this rabbit-toothed, long-faced freak is considered attractive to the media!???
He is photogenic and looks like Robert Kennedy, a little, when he smiles.
Brainpower wise, he is the male version of AOC!
So liberals and the worthless millennials love him. They can relate to him. He is not an alpha male, and that appeals to liberals. He is a young and immature Sanders with a good smile.
There is a lot of trashy stuff re his life before this time.
So far nothing really bad has showed up.
