Will he now go back to being “Robert”

My question is how did this fake Irish Mexican, Beto O'Dork, last as long as he did? He was never ready for prime time.
Or even a B movie.

Ah, the master troller strikes again.
For the Democrats, being made fun of by the president is an impeachable offense.

No he’s applying to be a Chuck E. Cheese character. He wants to put his Furry costume and guitar skills to use.

They are trying to get him to run for what?!? After his door to door gun confiscation diatribes, he couldn’t run for dog catcher in Texas.
(insert, “Texas is now blue” fear rebuttal here).

Guitar plus Furry equals stardom there.
