Opinion | Will Betomania Sweep America?

A $6 million day of fundraising elevated former Rep. Beto O’Rourke from the fringes of speculative Democratic presidential politics to can’t-be-ignored viability. Edging out Sen. Bernie Sanders’s record chummed a media feeding frenzy.

Mr. O’Rourke officially kicked off his campaign in El Paso, Texas, his hometown, Saturday. “This is a campaign for America, for everyone in America,” he said, sounding either breathtakingly aspirational or hopelessly naive.

first round of primary debates should be a real hoot. no arithmetic allowed.

As O’Rourke continues down this path, the level of embarrassment becomes obvious. You would think he would step back and look at what he is saying and realize the stupidity of his ramblings. Just another politician doing his thing.

The really creepy thing is that Beto could attract a crowd that large. I'm pretty sure they weren't all shopping.

The Beto closet full of skeletons begins to open!

Unfortunate that the press covers this candidate

Sanders20/20

No.

Beto will do well because he is an outstanding liar. He needs to stay away from important issues. He just needs to play the blame game only. He is going to do terrible in debates so he needs to get the question ahead of time. He is a loser, but he has the best chance at lying.

That looks like a guaido rally

And trump’s specific hatred makes you long for what?

In answer to your title question: NO.

Beto is Obama 2.0

Mayor Pete is the real thing. Beto is more like Trump--looks great on TV but doesn't have that much to say.

No. Socialist are not wanted

However, Hope and Change was all smoke and mirrors.

No to Robert! Pretty face only takes him that far...

No

Not really, there is a a real candidate out there already.

With all those hand-signers around Francis, does that mean half the crowd is deaf? Is that the PC thing to do, or what.

Beto's fuzzy policy is deliberate and shrewd. By the time he gets to the primaries he will have figured what voters want.

40 out of 42 comments on this post thus far are negitive towards a beto presidency, I counted. Ther3 must be a reason for this resounding consensus.

This articule is crap. Sad coming from

Beto is no white Obama.

Yes it is already happening!!!! Go Beto!!

Trump's favourite

Most of Beto supporters are illegal immigrants or their relatives. White Obama has no prayer, no matter how he is packaged. He is a bigger fraud than Obama.

Beto O'Rourke is just another vapid liberal who will lie and say anything his adoring, unthinking followers want to hear. They believe him because they know nothing about economics, government or American greatness. He lies and they buy!

Windy lightweight

Beto “stands on furniture” O’Rourke is outanding in his mind.

The Seinfeld campaign about nothing!

The vaguer the better when you're a politician.

Please don’t abuse the legendary word “Beatlemania” to describe that dweeb. 🙄

Hope and change had no specificity either

🤣🤣🤣💩🤮

Didnt this guy lose to Ted Cruz?

Is he still bashing Trump... cuz he has zero ideas if his own!!

JackSarfatti “I’d knock the wall down” pretty much says it all right there! Dude is a blow hard

Little Baby Beto is like a college freshman trying to educate the campus after one week in class.

Never trust a guy that changed his name to cater to Latinos.

Not a chance

BetoORourke is a furry.

A real Beta male. Oops... Beto male.

Hes a privileged white cis Male, why should he be running? He says hes pro diversity yet runs against diverse candidates, it's almost like he doesn't want them to win...

Beto is a furry

He can't be specific otherwise the various loose factions on the left will eat each other and beto in the process.

OpinionPolls God's choice Psalm 75 :6-7 (KJV) GodIsJust

Francis orourke .... pass

Since when was 'hope and change' specific? Barry 'The Fraud' Soetoro's speeches were filled with empty rhetoric. It's no wonder that he was the Worst. President. Ever. Robert O'Rourke is just another jackass.

But also not

The future is tomorrow.

Nope.

Nothing motivates people to vote for a candidate like giving them nothing and saying nothing

Not the kind of change I’m looking for.
