Scoop: Sources say Beto plans Texas comeback in governor’s race
Axios ^ | Sept 19, 2021 | Hans Nichols

Posted on 09/20/2021 8:46:19 AM PDT by fwdude

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke is preparing to run for governor of Texas in 2022, with an announcement expected later this year, Texas political operatives tell Axios.

Why it matters: O'Rourke's entry would give Democrats a high-profile candidate with a national fundraising network to challenge Republican Gov. Greg Abbott — and give O’Rourke, a former three-term congressman from El Paso and 2020 presidential candidate and voting rights activist, a path to a political comeback.

So Texas can be just like California. Gavin and Beto. Not since vaudeville died have there been two to lead people into the new Dem future like those two.

Beto on his skateboard.

The most mature thing he did all week. Along with eating dirt.

The Dems must think that they have a really fantastic fraud scheme cooked up for 2022 if they think they can get Beto the Boozer across the finish line this time.

Beeeetoooooowwwww does not even know what the hell he is doing much less win the governorship in Texas.

The DemonRats are getting crushed come the 2022 elections especially with this idiot thinking that the Brainless POTUS Biden excrements golden eggs.

Beto barely lost to Cruz a few years ago. Texaa is rapidly moving towards Democrats.

He won all cities against Cruz and turned Ft. Worth from Red to Blue. Biden won Ft. Worth.

I don’t trust the numbers from the urban counties, especially in 2020. Hopefully the reforms passed by the Legislature will limit cheating in those areas. If that is the case, Abbott should win by 6 or more points. The South Texas Hispanic vote is moving to the right, offsetting the suburban soccer moms.

In the last election, Abbott beat a real Hispanic, Lupe Valdez, by more than a 13 point margin. So now the dems think he will lose to a fake Hispanic?

Bebo got a total of 4,045,632 votes (48%) running against Ted Cruz in 2018. In the same election, Abbott got 4,638,582 votes (56%) running against Valdez. Do the math.

I predict COVID, Zeta variant, will hit around Summer of next year, conveniently. Dems will judge shop and sue to get all state elections laws suspended so that “people will not be prevented from voting.” This is my firm conviction.

You're not wrong.

If this prick does make it in, he will be foursquare against the Texas gun culture.... even Democrats in Texas like guns.

Look, at least she never wrote a poem titled “ Wax My Ass”
Below is a reading of Beto’s poem

Liberals and latinos don’t like him as much as people think

But Greg Abbott has gone so far to the right competing with Desantis lately, and everyone is mad about the power grid and women especially with the abortion ban thing

I could see it happening maybe

“Does he put America First? Sincerely asking.”

MM is a liberal.
He just comes at it in a soft way.
AOC is loud and in your face. MM is the soft, mild voice that puts baby to bed so he can do his thing while the household is sleeping.
Never trust anyone that has been in Hollyweird as long as he has.

Well that’s the thing, white liberals and moderates gave beto all the attention and kind of ignored the real one LupeValdez
