The Air Has Gone Out Of Beto O’Dork’s Candidacy

Yesterday we saw milquetoast weakling John Hickenloser suspend his bid to become the Democrat nominee for President and if that wasn’t thrilling enough, the day also saw the guy who honestly believes we want to see him get his ear hairs trimmed or listen to the sound of his slobber being sucked into that thingy at the dentist’s office announce his second, yes, his second campaign reboot.

The day before we were treated to what was clearly a staged, if not cringeworthy, attempt at Beto’s Roadside Assistance.

Since he launched his campaign in March, Robert Francis O’Rourke has seen the press corps that followed him around thin out and his poll numbers mired in the single digits.  But this time, yes, this time things are going to be different!  Not only will he change tires faster, he’ll cuss less and try to scare the bejeebers out of you.

In his morning address to a small crowd Beto said, “I’m confident that if, at this moment, we do not wake up to this threat [gun violence] then we as a country will die in our sleep.  To those places where Donald Trump has been terrorizing and terrifying and demeaning our fellow Americans, that’s where you will find me and this campaign.”

So…we won’t find him anywhere?  That’s a bold move, Cotton!

His Presidential Prospects In Swift Decline, Beto Is Ready For His Close Up

Playing a clip from MSNBC’s All in With Chris Hayes, host Stephanie Ruhle and CEO and President of Voto Latino Maria Teresa Kumar speculated the El Paso mass shooting could be politically advantageous for presidential candidate Robert Francis O'Rourke Tuesday morning.

"Maria, Beto has said he is running in the name of decency and democracy. As bad as this may sound, could this moment be a chance for Beto to gain some momentum?" Ruhle asked.

"I think so. When you look at who the President is most afraid of, you often hear within inner circles that Beto is the one that concerns him," Kumar responded.

Media consensus seems to have formed that O’Rourke is a lightweight; an entitled child of privilege who has “failed up” all his life. His theatrics and grandiose delusions skate close to the edge of parody.

Brandon Rottinghaus, University of Houston political science professor noted in the New York Times, “He needs a big issue and he needs his biography to really bloom.  This is an opportunity for him to do both.”

The field of 2020 Democrat presidential candidates is too large and the winnowing process will begin with the third round of debates to be held in Houston where the rules are expected to cut the field to ten or perhaps fewer.

None of the Democrats have given credit to President Trump for calling out the racist motives that inspired the El Paso shooting and for clearly denouncing it as “white supremacy.”

As the nation turns it attention to the President’s trips to El Paso and Dayton to meet with the victims of the back-to-back shootings, White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley told reporters the President recognizes the gravity of this moment.

O’Rourke’s presidential aspirations have been burdened by his weaknesses and inexperience.  His debate performances have done little to improve his standing.  His desperation is palpable.  Exploiting this moment for political expedience, he announced he would be attending an event to “honor those lives lost, confront President Trump and white supremacy and demand responsible gun control.”

Is it just me or does anyone else see the glare of a ghoul in Beto’s eyes?  This is his last chance to reprise his political fortunes by standing on the 22 corpses in an El Paso Walmart and waving a bloody shirt saying, “Hey, look at me!  Look at me!”

Godzilla-Sized Asshole

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.

Deception Is Not A Mistake; It's Calculating And Cold

Last week Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke announced his candidacy for president.  The Left went bonkers for the man many describe as “Kennedyesque”.

Spare me.

The guy from El Paso who looks more like Butthead from the MTV animated sitcom Beavis and Butthead mounted a Senate campaign against Sen. Ted Cruz and lost with 48.3% of the vote to Cruz’s 50.8%.  The race was close exciting Democrats who have dreamed for years of turning Texas blue.

Joe Hagan, who wrote a fawning piece on O’Rourke for Vanity Fair said, “some people consider O’Rourke politically indistinct, even slippery.”  Apparently, the guy who is slicker than owl shit fancies himself the über candidate.

Again, spare me.

O’Rourke belonged to the oldest group of computer hackers in U.S. history.  The Cult of the Dead Cow was notorious for releasing tools that allowed ordinary people to hack computers running Microsoft Windows.  He stole long distance telephone service so he “wouldn’t run up the phone bill.”

The Cult of the Dead Cow’s website has a disclaimer that remains to this day.  “Warning:  This site may contain explicit descriptions of or advocate one or more of the following:  adultery, murder, morbid violence, bad grammar, deviant sexual conduct in violent contexts or the consumption of alcohol and illegal drugs.”

Beto wrote kiddie snuff fiction on that website.  You read that right.  He fantasized about murdering children by running them over with a car.

"One day, as I was driving home from work, I noticed two children crossing the street. They were happy, happy to be free from their troubles.  This happiness was mine by right. I had earned it in my dreams." 

"As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two.  I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head." 

None, and I mean none, of this was known during his senate race against Cruz.  A reporter for Reuters, Joseph Menn, knew about this man’s twisted mind back in 2017 and sat on it.

According to Menn, a reporter for Reuters, members of the hacking group were protecting O'Rourke's identity and wouldn't confirm his affiliation unless the reporter promised not to write about it until after the November election.

In an interview in late 2017, O’Rourke acknowledged that he was a member of the group, on the understanding that the information would not be made public until after his Senate race against Ted Cruz in November 2018,” Reuters wrote Friday in a piece headlined, “Backstory: How Reuters uncovered Beto O'Rourke's teenage hacking days.”

So Reuters had evidence in 2017 that Beto may have committed multiple felonies—which Beto confirmed on the record—but deliberately withheld the story for over a year to help him win his Senate race? But when he’s running against Bernie etc, NOW it’s news? https://t.co/dUfrRPw1By

Democrats who would stop at nothing to crucify Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings with unfounded accusations implore us not to judge the musings of a teenaged Beto.  O’Rourke’s past is steeped in facts for all the world to see.

The media is in the tank for Beto and a multitude of lemmings will be fooled by his honeyed words.  They do not possess the intellect needed to characterize people by their actions or sniff out a good line of bullshit.

His Name Is Robert Francis

Former Rep. Robert Francis “Hit & Run” O’Rourke (D-TX) has officially announced his candidacy for president in 2020.

In his announcement video he said, “This is a defining moment of truth for this country and for every single one of us. The challenges that we face right now, the interconnected crises in our economy, our democracy and our climate have never been greater.”

While challenging Ted Cruz for a seat in the U.S. Senate, O'Rourke insisted that he had no interest in running for president, vowing to quietly return to El Paso should he lose.

During the campaign he espoused an unapologetically liberal vision including advocating for President Trump’s impeachment, championing universal health care, gun control, decriminalization of weed and “relaxed” immigration policies.

Beto drives like a Kennedy and steals like a Clinton.

Jim Geraghty noted in National Review, “Not just the DUI, but his private-sector development career that used eminent domain and gentrified poor Latino neighborhoods and marrying into a billionaire’s family. The image celebrated in these gushing profiles doesn’t match the reality. He was never in the military but talked about veterans’ issues so much that some people think he was. He’s not Latino, but his ‘rise fuels hope for Latino Democrats.’ He’s the outsider who was in elected office from 2005 to 2018. He’s the modest everyman with a net worth of $9 million. He’s a boarding-school-attending son of a judge who escaped serious consequence for not just the DUI but also burglary charges.”

“Is Beto O’Rourke’s skateboarding ‘cool’? Or does a 46-year-old aspiring commander-in-chief look silly doing it in the parking lot of a Whataburger? Does wearing a pig mask and onesie while playing guitar onstage in 2003 at age 31 reflect O’Rourke’s creative, artistic, rebellious spirit? Or does he just look like a guy who really wanted to be a rock star, and is settling for being a political rock star?”

Now that Beto has announced he's running for president, I'm here to remind you that this exists... pic.twitter.com/zQSY5jIuKC

Look! Down on His Luck! Down in the Polls! Up Against the Wall, It's Super Beto!

Texas Will Turn Blue You Say?

Sen. Ted Cruz said Tuesday night's primaries in his home state of Texas once again rejected the media storyline that Democrats are gaining strength there.

Cruz, who is up for Senate re-election, won the Republican Texas primary with over 1.3 million votes out of more than 1.5 million GOP votes cast. The Democratic front-runner, Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas, won his party’s primary with only 641,052 votes, out of just over 1 million votes cast for Democrats.

Before the vote, many in the media said Republicans were getting worried that this would be the year Texas would turn blue. But Cruz said he was never worried about that.

“If you’re going to run in Texas, you can’t be a liberal, man,” goes the jingle in Cruz’s newest ad.  Ted isn’t afraid of facing his left-wing, anti-Second Amendment opponent. Instead, he had a little fun at Beto’s expense. Seems he learned a little sumpin’-sumpin’ from President Trump.  Good on him.

Liberals have a serious issue with math. This is their version of a Texas “Blue Wave”:

Beto O’Rourke: Democrat Senate candidate, 641,052 votes in yesterday’s primary.

Ted Cruz: Republican Senator, 1,315,455 votes in yesterday’s primary.

That’s some “wave.”
