O’Rourke and Biden nearing a potential collision course

Jill and Joe Biden at a gathering of the International Association of Fire Fighters in Washington on Tuesday. By Matt Viser Matt Viser National political reporter Email Bio Follow March 12 at 6:27 PM Beto O’Rourke is youthful and has little political record to run on. Joe Biden is older and has a decades-long history, featuring both successes and mistakes.

Katie Baron decorates a Beto O’Rourke mural with items from the South by Southwest festival before taking a photo Friday in Austin. Baron commissioned the mural to be done by artist Chris Rogers. The argument put forth by supporters of each of them is that they would appeal to white working-class voters who were attracted to Trump. Even before their candidacies are official, Biden and O’Rourke have been honing messages that stress optimism and unity.

Former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke takes a photo with a traveler as he arrives at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Friday. O’Rourke likens his campaign to the punk bands he used to tour with, and he has been riding around El Paso on a hip Surly bike. When he visited the South by Southwest festival, some on Twitter captured him on a street corner around midnight. The next morning he was in a T-shirt, posing for photos at an airport terminal.

“I will just speak on behalf of myself — and this is not a reaction to statements he made decades ago — but there is no question we need still to integrate the schools of our country,” she said. A Biden supporter at the firefighters gathering Tuesday. “The big question is whether he can catch up on staff and whether he’s going to focus on Iowa or not,” said Sean Bagniewski, the chairman of the Polk County Democrats.“Bernie Sanders wasn’t the most fundraised and most staffed candidate. Donald Trump wasn’t the most fundraised and most staffed candidate,” Bagniewski said.

The whole defunct Dimm party is colliding and approaching the cliff

There’s a two car pileup in the white guy lane, better shut down the interstate and get CNN in here with a couple cameras so Chuck Todd can pilfer their footage for tomorrow’s show.

JoeBiden For heaven sake, decide will you?

The centrism infusers logging on

Biden O’Rourke 2020!

they both have bad histories. Groping Joe and many videos of him groping women and kids. Beto that couldn't win his own State has no one backing him.

noJoe NoBeto

Biden and O’Rourke..Dream team

Biden has my VOTE!!!

and thats why they should stay out of it.

Biden-O’Rourke would be a killer team.

Lol the laughing stock of America. Those two clowns. Fake news alert.

“The Plugs and Chugs Express” is leaving the station. God help us all.

Just gonna leave this right here...

Was hoping for Biden/Abrams. Like Beto but think he needs more time to find himself.

Buttigieg for the win.

Beto couldn't beat Ted Cruz! How the Hell does he think he could beat Trump?

Great name for a ticket Beto.Biden. sounds like a candy bar

They'll neutralize each other and allow KH to walk to finish line.

I’d prefer to vote for a ticket that doesn’t have a candidate with a mug shot.

mighty white of the party of diversity🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No on Biden

Biden-beto in 2020. Biden vanquishes trump & bows out after one term leaving beto a more seasoned frontrunner in 2024. Boom

Either one would be a good choice. I hope they both decide to run

Newsflash and ya heard it from the Dude: Biden is gonna have Beto as his running mate and corner the market on the Dem nomination.

Put them both Biden/O'Rourke together?🤔

This is the best we got

Whose the Democrats best potential candidate?

Yes would love for them to announce they are running together

Gunna put you back in CHAINS!!!!

OH really bc I can see Trump in the White House another 4 yrs if those two attempt to get coronated by the MSM Circus and the DNC.

Team up

Biden/Beto ticket

It's not a contest. Biden will come out on top.

I love O’Rourke but I don’t think he’s ready for presidency yet. Maybe he could be someone’s VP? If he wins the primary, however, obviously I am in!

Collision course? Only that of a hammer(Biden) and a nail (Beto).

Partnership. Let’s call it a partnership. I’m all in Biden/ORourke2020

Biden/Beto 2020

Cut to the chase: Biden/O'Rourke 2020 crushes. If Biden doesn't grab Beto soon, someone else will, and even Beto knows it isn't his time yet.

They need to tell Berto that Biden is the anointed one, and that he is 'Sideshow Bob'.

Biden-Beto 2020

Yes lets have both

Beto for President!

With all of the other candidates too

Do it JoeBiden !!

They'll do great stumping for Bernie2020

But what if they are actually not on a collision course, but about to link up for a joint ticket announcement?

BIDEN-BETO 2020.

Or maybe a buddy film
