Opinion | Beto may be getting serious

By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 1 at 10:00 AM That Vanity Fair cover story probably didn’t do Beto O’Rourke any favors — well, other than help him raise a ton of cash. The story emphasized the angst-ridden O’Rourke, the one suffering from an overabundance of self-regard . His comments about his wife and child-rearing caused him some grief in the opening days of the campaign.

Third, what little he has said about foreign policy sounds reasonable. Every Democrat is going to promise to end long wars. However, he sounded cognizant of the need for U.S. international leadership. He explained in his El Paso kickoff rally Saturday that to achieve goals such as reversing climate change, the United States must “once again reassert our role on the world stage.

In other words, democracy and our strategic needs go hand in hand. Retreating from the world, as those on the right and the far-left appear to want, won’t solve our problems. If O’Rourke can talk sense to voters and use his perch to make a case for responsible internationalism, he’ll do his party and the country a favor.

JRubinBlogger His suggestion about his own cabinet members needing to attend monthly town hall meetings had me scratching my head. The cabinet would be hired by him. If they aren’t doing the job right, just fire them. Why interrupt their critical jobs with PR stuff they have press offices for?

JRubinBlogger I'm pretty sure all those negative people here did not read the article. Yet yet asking for a substance, hypocrites .

JRubinBlogger Beto the Bi-lingual FemBoy fits the WaPo narrative for 2020. The CIA Controlled WaPo have effectively take Biden out and take pot shots a Burnie. Pocahontas will never get past the Feminist vote. Kamala is likely going to be indicted. that leaves Buttigieg the gay guy.

JRubinBlogger You mean flailing his arms more

JRubinBlogger I hope he apologized to that person. Did he asked if it was alright to touch him/her (I do not want to assume their gender)? And, he's touching them with both hands - that's clearly an assault. He's disgusting.

JRubinBlogger Robert Francis is a fraud. Americans are tired of open borders.

JRubinBlogger He's been serious since day one.

About looking like he’s John Kerry Jr. and to make sure Democrats lose like in 2004? NotReady Biden2020

JRubinBlogger oxymoron. smh

JRubinBlogger Trump’s nickname for Beto will be Beto O’Dork.

JRubinBlogger The Democrats can do better then guy! Why isn’t the press covering the woman candidates as much as the men?

JRubinBlogger Depends on what his stance is regarding furries on the intersectionality scale

JRubinBlogger He should get serious about the inherent wrongs of cultural appropriation.

JRubinBlogger Employers will stop offering company paid insurance and tell employees to sign up for Medicare. But they will need to do it on a pre-tax HSA type contribution basis.

JRubinBlogger If your name is 'Beto' and you are not (1) a smuggler, (2) a bounty hunter, or (3) a former gambler/sportsman and administrator of a Vespan gas mining/refining facility, then you beto have a damn good explanation.

JRubinBlogger about what

JRubinBlogger Jen Rubin column on April Fools! Nothing could be better

JRubinBlogger I'm sure you'll do everything you can to help him along.

JRubinBlogger

JRubinBlogger Of course he is, and he is a serious and legitimate contender. He has the potential to unite younger and older, diverse coalitions that make up TheDemocrats .

JRubinBlogger 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Opinion: Analysis: Perspective:

JRubinBlogger Sick him on Putin, Kim and China!

JRubinBlogger No. Just no. We already have a president with no government experience. One term in the house is just not enough. Beto needs to serve in congress again, and then maybe...

JRubinBlogger Opinion: *beto just kickflips onto a newspaper stand*

JRubinBlogger Be center and stand up to Trump at every corner and you just might have this.

JRubinBlogger Opinion & JeffBezos support “beto” and diss JoeBiden /// which will end up where they don’t want re-electing the half-wit realDonaldTrump /// the politicians in this country ain’t worth sh*t BOTH SIDES

JRubinBlogger He's a fraud.

JRubinBlogger Bob the fake is serious about being a fraud?

JRubinBlogger Uh oh. Sounds like he’s going to be making some riskier climbs.

JRubinBlogger Guy is a complete joke that speaks in bumper sticker gibberish...no thanks

JRubinBlogger Trash article ✌🏽

JRubinBlogger The Haiku Candidate

JRubinBlogger He's from down here in our state - the dude is 100% hot air, nothing more. Why does the media love him so much? Trump would CRUSH this guy. You can do better (Andrew Yang? Pete Buttigeig?)

JRubinBlogger I'm still not won over from what he's said about policies.

JRubinBlogger Of course he is getting serious. He’s waving his hands very hard

JRubinBlogger Greener New Deal on the horizon?

JRubinBlogger I remember when Obama “got serious”. Remember when he lied during his campaign and said his healthcare reform would not include a mandate? Dems don’t care, they want a pretty Prom King.

JRubinBlogger This writer loves the plutocrats!

JRubinBlogger He's moving into the socialist column for the nomination. No D can get the nomination now without some socialist credentials. 'The unprecedented concentration of wealth, power and privilege in the United States must be broken apart. '

JRubinBlogger You mean Robert Francis O’Rouke ?

JRubinBlogger Has he ever held a real job?

JRubinBlogger What the hell was he doing before?

JRubinBlogger ... TWO tables stacked on top of each other !?

JRubinBlogger If he is he would put up an agenda.

JRubinBlogger We'll know for sure when he eats some good luck dirt.

JRubinBlogger Is Jennifer still pretending to be a conservative and white?

JRubinBlogger Everything right now is literally just 👇 👇 👇

JRubinBlogger Serious about JEB!

JRubinBlogger Awwww...is Jenny gonna have to go change her panties?
