So, he may be overqualified to be a Democrat candidate.

For a Democrat in Congress it’s a resume enhancer.

Burglary charges were dropped. The DUI was a misdemeanor and he went to “DUI Class”. This is a nothing burger and it would be counterproductive to try to make it into something more.

The Houston Comical is a liberal rag. They probably published the story to show what an “upfront honest guy” Beto is.

Was it related to jumping over the fence?

But it wouldn’t hurt to mention that O’Rourke had been charged with burglary.

That would not be a false statement and it might tarnish his reputation with some on the fence Texas voters. OTOH, in certain parts of Texas (Houston, Dallas, etc), it may be a reputation enhancer.

Youthful indiscretions. Rats forgive their own. I liked the one about W driving his girlfriend to the abortion clinic. He turned the other cheek.

What worries me is that if Beto somehow does win, he will become the big name Nationally for the Rats.

We need to kill this baby in the womb.

I thinks he’s under qualified. No beating up girl friends arrests.
