Hahahaha

Old Gringo, you promised us great things from your boy. Looks like he has f̶l̶a̶m̶e̶d̶ sputtered out and will soon be back in El Paso talking to the coyotes in broken Spanish.

What happened?

Now, back to the topic.

That Beto...

It's too early to count him out.

Carry on.


Yeah...he's outta here. Gone. Finished. If he were a pig, he'd be a ham sandwich at this point.

Says here that little Bobby O'Rourke is losing (quite badly, we might add) to a Communist, a former VP who clearly doesn't know what day it is, a concubine from California and fake American Indian, among others. It just doesn't get much more embarrassing that that.

At this point, it would difficult to be backing a bigger loser, unless your candidate was Kristin Gillibrand. But I'll bet the Marianne Williamson campaign will gladly accept your calls, OG.

Heh, heh...heh, heh...

Stay tuned.

Well he did ultimately lose the Senate race, so the conventional wisdom was kinda right in the end. The whole Beto bubble seems to have been poorly thought out from the beginning. He probably could be a senator right now if he were a little more strategic. That same unfocused concert tour style seems to have carried over into the presidential campaign. He may bounce back but it is hard to see how in such a crowded field. I don't know what his main selling point is at this point

Go back and read your post #420.

So, you are wrong yet again and again.

Face it - your guy O'Rourke and you are both toast.
You're just not very good at getting things right.

Repeatedly.

sorry but 420 was just a statement of fact. And you have just continued your losing streak! Keep it up.

O'Rourke is done. Put a fork in him.

O'Roarke isn't done. He may not get far in this race, but the guy has massive political talent. He'll be back, but maybe not as a President. And take that for a fact.

lol - predictions are not facts, but I'm not surprised you don't know the difference.

Let's face the facts. O'Rourke is the answer to a question nobody asked, and which didn't even need to be asked. He's a misshapen political spare part looking for some kind of role, but he's simply too bent and warped to be of any real use.

If that's what you mean by "massive political talent," then he's got it in spades. Otherwise, O'Rourke violently collided with his Peter Principle ceiling about the time he decided to run for the Senate from Texas. In fact, given his less-than-memorable performance in the House, it could be accurately said that O'Rourke had been promoted well past his level of personal incompetence when he served on the El Paso City Council.

If you're looking for facts, there you have them.

Beto is an embarrassment to Texas. His obvious pandering to illegals will not win him much love.

I thought the same thing about Julian Castro during the debate. I used to like him...
