Desperate to fill the
void now that their blockbuster series Game
of Thrones has ended, HBO plans to air the documentary Running With Beto.
It’s being billed as an
exclusive, but Eric Bradner, CNN political reporter based in Chicago said, “Not
really sure why this is billed as ‘exclusive’ since a bunch of reporters were
at the SXSW [in Austin, TX] debut of this doc like two and a half months ago.”
The documentary
describes the guy who terrorizes shop owners and health inspectors by standing
on every available table and countertop he can find as charismatic yet
controlling. It tells of the time he scolded
his road manager in front of her campaign colleagues for making him late for
campaign events and not adequately prepping him.
Before he delivered his
concession speech in front of supporters in his backyard of El Paso after being
defeated by Sen. Ted Cruz, he huddled with his top staffers to apologize saying,
“I just feel very, very lucky and I love you guys more than you’ll ever know. I
know I was a giant asshole to be around sometimes and you all never allowed my
shortcomings to get in the way of running the best campaign this state has ever
seen.”
NBC reported
the documentary “captures the candidate dropping f-bombs, clenched with stress,
complaining about having to ‘dance’ for the press.” His wife Amy asked if the producers could “take
out of the expletives from Beto.”
If you listen to his
gloppy, incoherent word salad when he speaks to an audience you realize he
wants them to be part of collective in search of something better without
referring to anything tangible in the way of solving real-world problems. He’s a political actor in the vein of Al Gore
or John Kerry and the centrist wing of a stumbling Democrat Party and a belief
his words are reminiscent of the honeyed rhetoric of The World’s Most Dangerous
Community Organizer.
So yes, he is an
asshole. A Godzilla-sized asshole and I
can’t wait for the first debates of the 2020 election cycle on June 26 and 27
from Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center for the
Performing Arts.
Let the cannibalism begin.
