Seems like just yesterday the MSM fawned over the man. Their spotlight on Beto O'Rourke was so bright you needed sunglasses. But today? My how things have changed. Won't be watching. Beto O'Rourke is all but dead in the water.

Remember his grandstanding? Whether you support his position on guns or not butting in on that news conference wasn't a good idea. In fact it was a terribly idea.

The day Beto said he was gonna confiscate people's guns was the day his political career went down the toilet.

His political career went down the toilet before. He was a joke at the 2020 Democrat primary. Even Democrats don't like him.

Beta O'Rourke is the pinnacle of peak Democrat stupidity. The guy is a buffoon who does not yet realize that his 15 minutes of fame are up.

Politically he's done. However, for a brief period MSM anointed him the chosen one. The fastest rising star in the Dem ranks.

Today John Fetterman is the MSM new go-to Dem star. Or at least he appeared to be.

The last few weeks haven't been so kind to John. Oz is still right there.

That'll be like watching the Washington Generals take on the Harlem Globetrotters.

O'Rourke peaked when he got close to unseating Cruz and has been declining since. He has done a poor job and understanding what that near-success was attributable to which, in my opinion, had more to do with Cruz than O'Rourke. He's out of touch and I expect him to lose to Abbott handily.

However, my real question relates to Fetterman - what makes you think he is the new Dem star? I honestly haven't seen that and am curious.
