Presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke is returning to the loosely structured, grassroots campaigning style he is known for

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa—Beto O’Rourke is trying to revive his barely four-month-old presidential campaign—again.

After a shaky debate performance—the first opportunity the crowded field of Democratic candidates had to introduce themselves on a national stage—the former Texas congressman made his sixth trip to Iowa for Fourth of July week, driving 540 miles in an RV with his wife and three children. At carnivals, house parties, a baseball game and an Independence Day parade here, Mr. O’Rourke, who tried more national media appearances...

Beto is done in this race. He’s the only one that doesn’t see it. Wonder who is feeding him his data?

“Beto being ignored by press” says the headline of six dozen different media outlets every day 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

WAPO has always had it out for Beto -- well newsflash -- boots-on-the-ground say different, despite your best efforts to stick to the GOP smear campaign for fear of losing Texas. (pssssttt --- we all know it; you're not fooling anybody!!!)

Funny, because on his live videos I see plenty of reporters asking him questions and surrounding him.

Wall Street Journal is a Republican paper. Just sayin.

What you write, and what we see on the ground conflict a good deal as usual. Hmmmmm....

GTFO Robert

Can you say “Has been” or better yet “Never was”.

he should just keep running for senate. Don't get greedy Beto!

yashar Its bc he has nothing to offer.

Good.

No one has lost more credibility in the eyes of Americans than star-stuck journalists who pushed Beto as the next RFK. Anyone paying attention knew he was an empty suit.

A female veteran neighbor who drives a old YJ jeep with her dog has his sign in her yard. I hate the prep school Harvard oxford shirt types.

He's gone, out. The Democrats lost the 2020 elections.

Bag it! Join ericswalwell BetoORourke

Sorry Soros. Er, I mean Beto.

You mean Robert Francis O'Rourke? Maybe people are tired of someone trying to act like someone they are not while begging for money and votes.

Who?

oh then why is he all over my feed including your article?

Oh shit. Did wpjenna start writing for the Journal?!?! So weird, I saw huge crowds and he even accompanied Biden to a baseball game. Try harder not being so obvious on who you’re afraid of.

O’Rourke=Hollow words and mediocrity as other politicians.

Lost race for Texas senator. Losing big time in race for DEM nomination. There is a clear pattern emerging. Namely, there are not enough flakes that vote for him to get elected. Better off skateboarding and working on his Spanish.

Great news !

yashar Yet some polls showed him tied or beating Donald. Those polls are absurd.

Hopefully Francis will soon just go away.

Time to move on...

PeteForAmerica2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

yashar Blahto...

yashar Buttigieg proved to be a better copy of Obama. Can't have two candidates competing for the same niche.

yashar do another vanity fair, beto

No chance!

So this is his 4th restart?

despite the bad press, somehow he’s able to get a lot of people. If this is about polls, just remember WSJ B. Clinton, Obama and event trump’s polls at this stage of the game.

The WSJ and Chuck Todd want them to forgo the opportunity. But maybe the Dems will not be stupid, for once.

The Dems have an open opportunity to capture the voters 18-40 and to flip Texas.

😀Do a lot of people in Texas read the WSJ?

1st he never stopped. 2nd it won him increase in youth voter turnout, more votes than any Dem had in Texas ever, incl half a million republicans. It helped turn red county Tarrant to blue & put 18 WOC judges on the bench in one of the largest counties in the US. Problem?

He never left the structure of grassroots, on the ground campaigning. What is this 'returning to'?

Meeting with actual voters turned Texas into a battleground state in 2018! Not exactly what I'd call a 'struggle' for the all the Dems now in office state wide, especially here in PREVIOUSLY red Hays Co. Try again. Beto2020 💙🌊🇺🇸💯

It’s because he’s not qualified. He Passed Zero (0) bills in Congress and only other accomplishment is El Paso city council and a DUI. With Kamela, Warren, Pete, Booker, Klobachar, and so many other accomplished people in the race, Beto’s light resume is a weakness

Grassroots style translated; a losing strategy that didn’t work in Texas and won’t work nationally, either. More grassroots style translated; campaigning in Mexico doesn’t count.

You mean the subterranean no where to be found style?

Nobody cares

They move campaign hq to Chihuahua

WTF is a Beto?

Which side of the Border is Robert Francis betorourke campaigning on today? Don't forget the swing states south of Texas.

🤔🤣😂

Could possibly get him to 7%

Scmbag

I just read another article that said they were running a more traditional campaign and said they wouldn’t be as casual. I don’t think they have a clue how to package this guy.

Who were the people who thought this clown had any chance at anything ? 🤪

Another article by a former politico writer who'd a thunk it.

Beto is toast! He has been since loss in ‘18. These candidates are all laughable w their rhetoric and promises. If Beto ran for Senate in Texas, he would be creamed by 15-20 points. His bubble has burst and rightfully so. He could not win his old House seat back at this time!

Sorry but Beto lost to a nut in Texas, and therefore it’s not hard to extrapolate that he would lose to a nut in Washington.

Pleas, no more haircuts.

It's hard to break out when your so dumb and everyone is starting to see that reality.

Why was he campaigning in Mexico. Report that dolts.

Will it feature Karouac-esque live journaling again?

The Spanish speaking in the debate was a stupid move

Latest Hong Kong Protest Plays to a Different Crowd: Mainland ChineseAs thousands of protesters marched in their fourth mass demonstration in a month, their target is expanding beyond the city’s government to the more distant power they blame for their eroding freedoms: China itself. 想多了 They think too much, mainlanders don’t give a shit about HK. The protesters are not living in the reality - in many ways than one - but deluding themselves with pipe dreams. Mainlanders generally+rightly consider them silly+brainwashed. If anything, they have made democracy, at least the kind they represent, less desirable for Mainlanders.

Seagull With Diarrhea Barely Makes It To Crowded Beach In TimeNAPLES, FL—Describing it as a “real close call,” a local seagull suffering from an acute case of diarrhea told reporters that he was barely able to make it to a crowded public beach in time to relieve himself Monday. “Oh, man, I really had to go and there wasn’t a sunbather or occupied picnic table in sight—I honestly didn’t know if I could hold it,” said the gray and white seabird, who reportedly uttered a deep, contented sigh of relief upon finally reaching a densely packed group of beachgoers and releasing a voluminous torrent of loose fecal matter. “The last thing you want is to just go right there over the water or a bare stretch of sand. But thankfully I spotted a few families without beach umbrellas and was able to make it just long enough. Must have been some bad parking lot hot dog I ate.” At press time, the seagull reportedly felt another oncoming, urgent bowel movement and was rapidly racing toward the nearest convertible. Yikes Everyone knows the onion now... rip 😭😭😭😭
