"Beto" O'Rourke is running for Texas governor. But this is not your father's "Beto" O'Rourke (illegal, polls)

Will we ever find out what "Beto" O'Rourke actually believes and intends? Or did we find that out already, a few years ago? It's getting hard to keep track.
Here comes yet another chameleon-like change.
"We are not at war with Eurasia. We are at war with Eastasia. We have always been at war with Eastasia." - George Orwell, "1984"
Someone needs to tell "Beto" that that book was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual for the Democrats of 2022.
Democrats Better Start Praying About The Midterm Elections

Then there’s the strategy of Robert Francis O’Rourke, the losing 2018 U.S. Senate and 2020 presidential candidate who now wants to become governor of Texas. He’ll lose that race, too, but he might get a participation medal.
Mr. O’Rourke’s strategy is to pretend all the positions you trumpeted before never really passed your lips.
In September 2019, while running for president, Mr. O’Rourke said “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.” Today he says “I’m not interested in taking anything from anyone. What I want to make sure that we do is defend the Second Amendment.”
There’s more. Running for Senate in 2017, Mr. O’Rourke called the border wall “racist” and by his 2020 presidential bid was saying “absolutely, I’d take the wall down” since it has “not in any demonstrable way made us safer.” Now he declares that “we’ve got to have predictability, order, and the rule of law” at the border. That means people who enter the U.S. illegally and don’t “have a credible asylum claim . . . should be deported back to the country from which they came.”
Beto just wants a cushy government job and he'll say whatever he believes the public wants to get elected.
Robert Francis knows he will not win. I read all the lead up to him making the Grand Decision— The Texas Tribune ((Leftist) writes about him constantly. The Democrats were literally begging him to run, they had nobody else. Robert worried about being a 3 time loser (which will happen), but he also knows that the run for Governor of Texas will bring him many Millions of dollars and he is a man with no job.
He finally decided the Money was worth the humiliation.
Beto is a typical Dem, he flip flops with the polls and will do and say whatever he is told and whatever he thinks people want to hear.
Running for Gov. of Texas, he pledges to safeguard the Second amendment?
But put him before an anti gun crowd and he is ready to take the guns.
Why can't these people just stand up for something and be honest with us?
Don't they realize that many of their deeds and words are recorded and all over the internet or do they really think we are that stupid and lazy to go and check?

Snopes Fact Check
Claim: At a campaign rally in Muskegon, Michigan, Mr. Trump claimed that "the Democrats in their primary were weak on immigration to the point of open borders."
Ruling: False.
Facts: Although various Democrats argued for positions such as no deportation, free healthcare to undocumented residents, removing the border wall completely, assisting migrant caravans once they get within 60 miles of the border, abolishing ICE, allowing undocumented residents the right to vote, allowing undocumented residents the right to collect from the social safety net like SNAP and Medicaid benefits, among other positions; these are not the same as an open border policy, nor do they constitute a true open border policy, and the positions taken by Democrats come through strength in their conviction. Therefore, we must rate Mr. Trump's statement that "the Democrats in their primary were weak on immigration to the point of open borders," as false.
