Sorry to break it to his supporters, butI don't think Beto has a chance of becoming El Presidente.

Oh yeah, he can skateboard and go to whataburger .... sounds like a winner to me.
He came close to defeating Cruz in a deep red state.

tRump and his followers are right to fear him.

Yeah, you're not that familiar with Texas are you. The nearest decent size town in Texas is still 400 miles away. As I said El Paso is an Island, you don't just drive there.

Those people were from the El Paso Metro area.

He looked like he was bouncing around last night high on Coke. Shame we can't drug test our Politicians. I suspect he would fail.

100% agree that of course not all liberals see it that way,

However, there are race and gender attacks (note this wasn't even labeled an opinion piece which is horrific journalism.) on Beto. So at the very least, I think we have to realize that race and gender attacks are being already slung about and ALLOWED as heinous as they are.

So Trump won't call him Low Energy then? This guy has stamina, even righties admit it. He could run circles around old man Trump and still not break a sweat. You're scared, admit it.

I know others have brought it up but what's with all of the Mexican flags?

Is he running for a position in Mexico?

Police did not give official estimates on O'Rourke's crowd size, but it appeared to exceed 5,000, in contrast to Trump's estimate of a few hundred.
It was definitely in the thousands.

“According to NBC News, O'Rourke's team said there were about 7,000 people at his rally and mile-long march beforehand, per law enforcement. And Bloomberg News reported that O'Rourke's rally had been estimated at 10,000 to 15,000, according to local police.”

And what a wonderful speech it was.
Uplifting, inspirational and best of all, literate.
In two languages no less.

It must really make Trump crazy to see himself juxtaposed against this trim, healthy, vigorous younger man.
Of course he has to try to diminish him, as will his equally insecure supporters.
