Beto O’Rourke’s Campaign is Going So Badly No One’s Even Bothering to Dig Up Dirt on Him Anymore

He was all the rage last fall — as he battled Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the Lone Star state. But now, it seems, Beto O’Rourke is being written off as an afterthought by media outlets to the point where they’re not even trying to dig up dirt on the former Texas congressman.

According to the Daily Beast, a leading Republican opposition research firm called America Rising has seen requests on O’Rourke dwindle down to nil. Compare this to the period just before the ex-congressman declared his bid for the White House. During that time, a dozen or more reporters reached out to America Rising looking to get the goods on O’Rourke.

From the Beast‘s report:

America Rising, which has cornered the market on opposition research on the nearly two dozen presidential contenders, has tracked what it considers a steady decline in the public’s interest in O’Rourke.

The Republican National Committee, known for slinging insults about Democrats into mainstream consciousness, has not received any requests from reporters for O’Rourke information in recent weeks, according to a senior official.

O’Rourke — who had been loathe to do national media early in his campaign — has tried to get on television in the past few days to rekindle interest in his candidacy. The ex-House member stopped by The View last week, and is slated to appear at a CNN town hall event Tuesday night.

Even in today’s social-media world, livestreaming your haircuts and dental appointments, and talking about trimming hair from your ears, is just too weird even for millennials. He’s self-destructing.

Beta is just a little worn and tired, even here in Texas.

I don't think that it's that nobody's bothering to.

I think that even if he's doing badly, he has such bad dirt that it would still hurt the Democrat brand in Texas to expose it nationally.

‘Wax My Ass, Scrub My Balls’ --- This Beto O’Rourke Poem Is Beyond Belief Beto O’Rourke’s recently unearthed membership in the hacking group “Cult of the Dead Cow” may not have included the “edgiest sorts of hacking activity,” but it did, apparently, include writing murder fantasies and exceptionally bad poetry. Writing under the now-exposed pseudonym “Psychedelic Warlord,” a teen-aged O’Rourke appears to be the author of a poem titled “The Song of the Cow,” published in 1988 by “cDc (Cult of the Dead Cow) communications.” “I need a butt-shine,” the poem begins … and it really all just goes downhill...

He is a straight white guy. Mayor Buttplug is the new and improved obama.

And what's worse, Irish Bob would add no value as anyone's VP pick. So he's done politically.

But all is not lost. If he could turn his waving arms routine into some sort of comedy act, he'd have a decent chance on America's Got Talent.

P.S. Take a look at the old guy at the bottom left of the picture. For some reason he doesn't seem to be too interested in what O'Rourke has to say.

He was never big in Texas, it’s just that Texas wants Ted Cruz to go away.

Not enough to vote for this little Cartel Owned metrosexual communist though.
