Beto: The Senate’s Not Good Enough For Me Or El Paso
Hot Air ^ | August 15, 2019 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 08/15/2019 12:51:24 PM PDT by C19fan

And we thought Robert “Beto” O’Rourke’s announcement of a “major address to the nation” was laughably arrogant. The three-time congressman used the platform this morning to explain why he will not drop out of the presidential race to help out his party and challenge incumbent John Cornyn in next year’s Senate race. The Senate’s just “not good enough” for Beto or his home town of El Paso in order to accomplish his agenda:

Hard to remember a politician crashing and burning like this. From RFK or Lincoln reincarnate to a nobody in less than a year.

“Major address to the nation”

Is that for real?

Witless Beto will go to Mississippi to campaign on behalf of the illegal aliens who lost their employment as a result of ICE raids on the Koch chicken processing facility. Bet he won’t be campaigning to the unemployed American citizens attending the resulting Koch job fairs to get those newly available jobs.

Well, his lack of humility ranks him right up there with 0bama and Hillary. He’s got that going for him.

And Beta 3.0 erupts in flames. Beta 4.0 is ramping up. It’s a good bet he’ll never mount another Senate run. What a maroon.

I wonder if he will get out of politics and just enjoy spending his wife’s money.

He is usurping the sobriquet “Crazy” from Bernie.

So, Betoa.... If you become President of the entire nation, you will rule the country just for the benefit of Hell Paso?

Even as a Senator, you should be at least representing the entire state of Texas. As President you are supposed to be there for ALL Americans.

If you want to represent JUST El Paso, then run for Congress again.

That’s because he wasn’t RGK or Lincoln, he was just a D running against a hated R in a midterm... with a motivated national D base willing to throw gobs of money at it to try to take out Cruz...

It didn’t matter WHO ran against Cruz... the narrative was, We can Take out Cruz, send money.. they pumped up this not ready for prime time player.. would have done it with anyone else that had been playing that roll as well.

Once he lost, the narrative was over, and the excited folks who were throwing cash moved on.... Empty suit.. or to be more regional... All Hat, no Cattle.

NO ONE, NOT ONE PERSON was demanding this nobody to be president, he bought into his own press during the hype time and thought he was something more than he was... reality is, wouldn’t have mattered WHO the actual individual was running against Cruz, they were going to do this.

Hopefully the largely complacent people in TX will realize they NEED to turn out, or they will eventually wind up with some buffoon like this winning statewide at some point.

Maybe he should post a video of himself getting high off his own fart gas.

The only one I can remember coming close was that woman in the Texas legislature who filibustered an anti-abortion bill or something and was conned into running for governor.

Walmart massacre aside El Paso is not Hell Paso

It’s very safe otherwise

Trump no less has expounded on that fact

It’s hot though temp wise

But it’s dry heat where 115 isn’t really hot....lol

Democrat Icon, Beto O”Rourke draws massive crowd of 250 people to hear his most important speech. Beto = 250 People...POTUS Donald J. Trump = 14,000-20,000 people on the same day. Methinks someone in the Democrat Party better tell Beto he be smokin’ too much reefer!!!

Who hasn’t said at one time or another, “Doesn’t El Paso deserve a US senator.” Robert its addressing the essential points of our generation. I hope he stays in the race to show the divrersity of democrat candidates and to represent El Paso in the WH.

Have you ever seen a more punchable face than this dipshits? Every time he opens his foul moth I get an urge to knock his teeth out.

Yeah, I can't stand him.
