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.

If he can call himself Beto, I can call myself Pancho.

I agree. He would have to have a lot more substantial message and a lot more charismatic personality to actually change any minds. Of course he may think he has both! Then again, maybe this is just a hobby for him. He needs a real job. His father in law should find him something to do, preferably not in Texas.

I’d chip in for a one way ticket to McMurdo Station.

[susannah59]

I would join you in that! At least until we have a colony on Mars!

I’m from Maryland, and will do my best to keep Escambia County, FL red.

This dude is a completely vile, evil POS and should be treated accordingly.

You know, that's precisely what Beto and leftists like him think of us.
