Beto ORourke was back at Keene State College, but the large crowd that flocked to see him six months ago was not.
Far removed from the whirlwind opening days of his presidential campaign, the former Texas congressman faced a far smaller, quieter gathering. An attempted Beto! Beto! chant fizzled, and when an elderly voter declared that ORourke was so clear and consistent on what the world needs, the candidate responded, Could you travel with us to every campaign stop and say what you just said?
The joke was emblematic of the campaigns troubles since ORourke has already undertaken two major campaign reboots since first coming to Keene State in March and his latest is built on a national approach to running for president that makes a third visit to the New Hampshire campus seem unlikely. Looking to recapture the early enthusiasm surrounding his candidacy, ORourke is pursuing the go-anywhere, freewheeling style that made him a Democratic star last year while nearly unseating Sen. Ted Cruz.

Beto just needs a little mustache. Maybe Wolf Blitzer can help him.

Those should be combined for a new animated image - where it fades from Beto to Adolph. Would be excellent.

Yes, gay, more gay, all the gay. That's what the world needs.

He is basically on “walk-about” at the expense of others.

He reminds me of a mentally unbalanced woman trying desperately to get her ex-boyfriend back. He vacillates between doing desperate, bizarre things to get attention and thinking if he can just change this one, little thing about himself, then people will want him again. Regardless, the smell of desperation is palpable and not attractive.

Reminds me of an America that used to exist.
When you could enjoy the comics and not the madness the Democrats bring every day of the week.

The only thing he’s in the running for now is 2019’s official posterboy of FAIL.

Bluto has had how many ‘new approaches’ by this point? Good grief.

Beto reboots more often than a Windows Vista system.

I saw more BSOD with Windows 95! LOL
Was happy with Win 98 - both versions. Shoot, Windows 7.
