Local media in Iowa hyped Gillibrand to no effect, and they’re hyping O’Rourke with the same outcome.
He waited too long. Straight, white, male. All negatives. He should have announced no later than week after he lost the senate and start barnstorming the country. He could have gotten a jump on everyone else. Instead hes just some manic dude. Nothing to set him apart from the other simpletons.
