For six days and 10 events, I chased Beto from west to east across the state — a sliver of this mostly rural tour that began in his hometown of El Paso last month and traces the perimeter of the state, including the border with Mexico, before ending near Dallas in September.
And when I say chased, I mean it. The man drives as if he’s a criminal trying to lose a tail, easily going 95 to 100 mph at times.
“If we want to create 30 minutes to eat lunch, we gotta drive fast,” he says, devouring a chocolate-dipped ice cream cone at a Dairy Queen. (A week after I left him, police pulled him over outside of Galveston and warned him to slow down.)
It’s a typical marathon schedule for the 49-year-old father of three, who wakes up at 6 every morning to go for a four-mile run before driving himself and three staffers to every event, as well as knocking on doors in temperatures so high that tar from the road melts onto your shoes.
O'Rourke, who was previously arrested for drunk driving, would do well to consider the safety of all Texans as he travels to events.

90-100 in West Texas is reckless? Why, was he impeding traffic and almost getting rear-ended?
LOL! Yeah I was kinda thinking that myself. South from Lubbock can see speed go up.
Let’s face it and not mince words. “Beto” is a first class jerk.
Here in Austin, there are numerous “Beto” signs and some “Women Against Abbott” signs as well.
On the Nextdoor App there are almost daily anti-Abbott posts.
Good ol’ Irish Bob is swerving his way across Texas.
Ping.
Laws are for little people.
I don’t put up Republican yard signs because I don’t want DemoRAT filth stealing the signs and possibly targeting my home for domestic terrorist action.

Put them in a troublesome neighbor’s yard.
Advertising, and two birds . . .
Thet mispelled “feckless wanker”.
“If we want to create 30 minutes to eat lunch, we gotta drive fast,”

You have to drive REAL fast to make up 30 minutes.
Watch your GPS navigation ‘time of arrival’. A pee stop costs you 5-10 minutes. It is HARD to make up for even that.
Last trip to EP, I went as high as 85 mph, the posted speed limit south of Midland to Van Horn.
This article is a nothing burger IMO.
Here in West Texas I have seen very few bumper stickers for him.
So his strategy is to go to small towns and Republican areas. Lots of luck with that. I personally wouldn’t cross the street to see him, if he were giving away steak dinners.
Please give little Beto a break. Children sometimes get a little rambunctious. He’ll grow up soon enough.
Oh, wait. Beto is 49. Never mind.
His father in law is a crony capitalist developer who funds his political career. His father was a corrupt judge and his mother has been caught laundering money for drug dealers. Family values all around.
Around here-—that is called :”Drive it like you STOLE it”.
He showed the entire Black community “How to Play the Race Card.”
“On the Nextdoor App there are almost daily anti-Abbott posts.”
Yes, a friend who bothers with that app notes that there are tons of efforts to organize for DemoRAT candidates, but all the little Commie commissars shut down any Republican organizing threads as “trolling”. The purging needs to start at the neighborhood level. I reckon folks like my friend who use the app knows= who the traitor criminals are.
He put BABY POOP in a bowl and gave it to his wife, telling her it was guacamole.
O/T, but my personal land speed record for Dallas to El Paso was 8 1/2 hours, with two stops...family emergency in El Paso. On the road, I was averaging 85-90 MPH.
My then 18 YO daughter and I drove back, work/school requirements. Return trip several days later...my back hurt for a month.
Usually the trip is 10-11 hours, depending on stops. LOL, the scenery has not changed in 40 years.
