Poor Robert Francis O'Rourke wants a second introduction with national Democratic primary voters. After he lost the Texas senate race to incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz last fall, Beto (his self given nickname) decided he needed a cross country road trip in order to truly find himself. Based on a recent Associated Press report, it seems that Beto still has some soul searching to do. The man once hailed by national media as the savior of the Democratic Party is expected to overhaul his entire presidential campaign persona next week.
The AP reports that Beto has entered "entered an intentional 'quiet period' to build out campaign infrastructure, according to an adviser who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the campaigns strategy." Part of this strategy is what he calls the introduction of "Beto 2.0."
According to the AP, "ORourke is planning to significantly ramp up national media appearances he is appearing live on ABCs 'The View' on Tuesday after skipping most such exposure in recent months. Hes also poised to offer more concrete policy plans on top issues."
eto's national campaign has been lackluster, to say the least, when compared to his Senate run against Sen. Cruz. Or, perhaps it is simply that he does not have the backing of the national media which ran headlines in October 2018 such as, "Betomania: Why Democrats are crazy for their 'authentically cool' Senate candidate."
As NBC reported at the time, "Jim Messina, who ran Obama's re-election campaign, said O'Rourke has a rare combination of inspiration, aspiration and authenticity' that moves people as he skateboards his way across Texas."
But many young voters such as 18-year-old Iowa voter Eli Shapiro reject Obama-esque that description and are already tired with Beto's general character. When asked his opinion of the man called "Tex Kennedy," Shapiro recently said, Hes soft like a cheesecake. When you ask him What do you think about taxes? hell just give you the most generic answer."
Now, the national media has shifted their attention to folks like Mayor Pete Buttigieg and other progressives rising the ranks. Who knows what version of Beto the American public will see next week. Whatever the case, it seems National Review's Kyle Smith nailed it on the head when he said Beto "might be the first person ever to run for the White House on a platform of asking the nation to help him figure out who he is."
But, the 2020 Democratic candidate currently polling near the bottom of the polls feels confident that It has been building up over time." Beto adding, I think were getting better organized all the time.
The Democrats are in rush to spend our retirement, our savings, our livelihood and take away our rights.

Authentic Irish fake Beaner, get yer Authentic Irish fake Beaners here!
It isn’t only Beto O’Rourke that has sunk into forever oblivion....all Democrat candidates running for 2020 POTUS slot are in the same boat as O’Rourke...sinking!!!
And....Democrats, Nadler, Schiff, Clyburn, Waters, etc. are doing a magnificent job killing off the Democrat Party politically!!!
Beto got Buttigieged.
Just saw where he is going to “reintroduce” himself.... again
He must be one of those who visited Queen Cankles seeking her advice on how to run the “best campaign”
She reintroduced herself about 2 dozen times since the 90’s and was still the most unlikeable, most corrupt, and nastiest candidate to ever run for that office
For anyone paying the slightest bit of attention, he was always a dweeb
Robert Francis O’Dork is an unusually tall, “authentically cool”, Hispanic leprechaun with flailing arms who uses a beatbox mic for crowds as low as 25.
They are all in on Creepy Joe Biden because they think he can win rust belt states. Watch for a VP candidate from a “purple” state that Trump won.
And....Democrats, Nadler, Schiff, Clyburn, Waters, etc. are doing a magnificent job killing off the Democrat Party politically!!!
= = = = = = = = = = =
And PDJT is doing his part by letting them ‘hang themselves’ and when it seemingly quiets down for a second he throws out a barb that they dumbly respond to.
He has been and will continue to grow the theme that
When your ‘avowed enemy’ is destroying himself, give him plenty of room and don’t get in his/her/its way.
He’s always been a pathetic tool. Anyone who is afraid to run under their given name is.
He’s a CHILD!! There is nothing COOL about him! Those HAND GESTURES are DIZZYING and DOPEY!
I dont think a VP candidates state means very much anymore. Look what happened in 2016 ... Hillary put Tim Kaine on her ticket and she still barely won Virginia.
when you build your house on the sand, it falls
He was always a pathetic tool.
Naw. Beta O’Cuck was an authentic tool from day #1.
Beto (his self given nickname)
***********
I thought the nick was given to him by his father not self given.
Regardless Beto won’t be in the hunt come Nov. 2020
“he is appearing live on ABCs ‘The View’”
[Which means, the clown persona of Beto 2.0 is pretty much the same as the clown persona of Beto 1.0.]
“Beto adding, I think were getting better organized all the time.”
[Sung to the tune of the Beatle’s “It’s Getting Better All the Time”]
“Or, perhaps it is simply that he does not have the backing of the national media which ran headlines in October 2018 such as, “Betomania: Why Democrats are crazy for their ‘authentically cool’ Senate candidate.””
[BINGO!!!]
