After a period of self-imposed exile, the former Democratic congressman returned to center stage Saturday as he ramps up for a potential 2020 presidential bid, appearing at South by Southwest for the premiere of a new documentary about his failed Senate campaign against Ted Cruz.
It's been 10 days since O'Rourke said publicly that he's made a decision about his political future, but he told reporters on Saturday that he wanted to reveal "it the right way and tell everyone at the same time."

Meanwhile, O'Rourke has lost some shine after taking fire from allies of Bernie Sanders on his left and writing dispatches from the soul-searching post-election road trip that many found to be self-indulgent oversharing. Others took note of his struggles to answer specific policy questions in an interview with the Washington Post.
The new documentary, directed by David Modigliani and produced financially and editorially independent from O'Rourke, could serve as a valuable introduction for Americans who didn't follow his Texas campaign.
O’Rourke granted Modigliani near-total access to both his campaign and his family, and it shows what earned him a fawning national following — his charisma, his accessibility, his oratory.
But it also captures the candidate dropping f-bombs, clenched with stress, complaining about having to "dance" for the press, and snapping at his staff.
"The only feedback I gave was, 'Can you take out some of the expletives from Beto,'" his wife, Amy, said after the premiere.

Good thing he didnt drink and drive..oh wait
Isn’t Beto the fake minority?
Hmmmm...
Would that be ROBERT FRANCIS O’Rouke?
i though there was a special law that allowed fake Hispanic, Kennedy look-alike Dems to use all the F-bombs they wanted without repercussion or criticism ...
Robert is an empty headed windbag socialist who wants to let millions of diseased, criminal, government dependent, illiterate , nor English speaking illegal Aliens in our country to take your stuff. He is a phony.He is a communist. How do you run for president as a loser? That party is finished. They have clowns for candidates.
The MSM is in the tank for Kamala Harris (whites and males are no longer welcome in the Democrat party) ...
Ping.
“i though there was a special law that allowed fake Hispanic, Kennedy look-alike Dems to use all the F-bombs they wanted without repercussion or criticism …”
Kennedys can do anything without repercussion or criticism. Cussing makes him a saint compared to the folks he apes.

I heard he also has a bad side.
Beano O’Rourke is too stupid for prime-time, his playing in a queer band is his only claim to fame.
“But it also captures the candidate dropping f-bombs, clenched with stress, complaining about having to “dance” for the press, and snapping at his staff.”
Lighten up, Francis.
Would that be ROBERT FRANCIS O’Rouke?

He panders to the illegal invaders of his El Paso district. Many dumb folks in Texas think he’s Mexican and he doesn’t correct them. Gives him street cred with the vatos’ . Much like the fake Indian woman. He also pretends to be poor but he’s very rich. (Not sure, 1billion?)
He’s your open borders whacko liberal. He’s real bad news because Texas is fighting to stay red. The lib’s really like him. Not quite the 0bammy fantasy, but close. That’s why the documentary. The media will push him right to the top of the rat party heap.
