Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) is reportedly weighing another bid for higher office – this time for Texas governor.

That the former Senate candidate and 2020 presidential contender is thinking about launching a challenge to Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was first reported on Monday by The Associated Press. There’s currently no timeline for a decision, and he has only begun to think about it recently, according to the news outlet.

If he does end up challenging Abbott, it would mark O’Rourke’s third consecutive election cycle seeking statewide or national elected office

People in Texas need to be reminded daily why they shouldn’t vote for any Democrat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now if someone could teach them not to vote for Democrats wearing R jersey camouflage.........

Betobutthead’s goal in life seems to be running for every available political office and losing.

What a joke! His only claim to fame is his ability to ride a skateboard! Did he really think he could be president? or did he “run” so as to get name recognition and campaign money?

“I do not think Texas wants a gun grabber as governor.”

Arizonans didn’t want a gun grabber as US senator, but the deep state chose Mark Kelly, Mr. Gabrielle Giffords. We didn’t.

Cruz has the liability of smallpox, was fighting with Trump, and the democrats pulled out all the stops supporting Beto the Irish Mexican. They spent an enormous amount of money and came up empty.

Beto O’Rourke, seeking to be a 3 time loser just like Chris Bell (D-Tx). Trifecta.

Media let all of the weird stuff about Bozo O’Dorke see print AFTER the election was over.

Remember Texas race for US Senator with incumbent Cruz versus this dingbat was neck and neck most of the way.

Old Texans supplanted by CA leftists who moved there or tens of thousands of illegals always voting Dem (two or more times each).

New nationalized voting laws will state you are going to prison for trying to overthrow an election if you ask to recount the ballots or examine the voting machines. It’s all taken care of behind the scenes so don’t ask.

Used to be that Tx Demos were not radical nut-jobs like this loser. But, times have changed. He is a boob.

....I heartily agree....! but if the last November’s presidential election [sic] is any guide, there may be enough people in The Lone Star State (where I now live...) who have sat way too long in the hot summer Texas sun without a hat to support this weasel.....even today, as faded as they are, we still see a goodly number of “Beto for Senate!” stickers on cars down here in the Austin area.... jus’ sayin’...
