Beto O'Rourke Is Still a Reckless Driver('Do You Know Who I Am' syndrome?)

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.

>>’Do You Know Who I Am?<<

Just an arrogant taco with a Napoleon complex.

I refuse to refer to Robert Francis as Beto. Are hispanics really fooled?

Texas almost was in 2018. I get that Cruz wasn't a strong campaigner or likeable guy, but Beto should not be within 10% of Cruz in Texas.

The line for that is as long as can be.

It’s not people from CA that are screwing other states up, it’s their own kids who are being indoctrinated by government public school as the produce hundreds of thousands of new leftist voters every year, year in and year out...It’s coming from within their own communities. But it’s much easier to blame it on a few moving in from CA. I’d bet good money, about 75 percent of those bailing out of CA, are very conservative. Just like you and me.

It’s a strange strategy. Almost like he’s just pretending to run.

The GOP will fight you tooth and toenail every inch of the way if you attempt that. They are totally satisfied being under Democrat Party control.

If he would do away with that 4-mile run and shower every morning, he could take two 30-minute breaks.

I am dying for someone to try that “Do you know who I am?” to me...

I will start shouting “Does anyone know who this is? He doesn’t seem to know. He wants to know if we can tell him who he is! Anyone”

People with a brain would simply bake lunch/gas stops into their itinerary. Otherwise you’ll be driving like this dangerous idiot was.

Maybe he’ll get “cheneyed”. New verb? Cheneyed-— to suffer a crushing, debilitating defeat in a contest.

Robert was blatantly distorting the truth. He has just said a 500 yd shot would penetrate a helmet and remove the head off a pair of shoulders. 500 yds is a pretty far shot for an average hunting rifle. We hunt feral hogs and I think even if I could score a shot with my best rifle at 500 yds, the hog would run off.
