'There's still time for Beto to turn it around. Plenty of time. But the early returns aren't just discouraging. They are downright dismal,' writes CillizzaCNN

Take his riff on Beto O'Rourke during an"official" White House event in Louisiana on Tuesday night:"Beto. Beto's falling fast, what the hell happened? Remember about four weeks ago he said, 'I was made for it.' He was made for it! He was made to fall like a rock."It's a pretty decent summation of the arc -- downward -- that the former Texas congressman's presidential campaign has been on since, well, he got into the race.

In each episode of his weekly YouTube show, Chris Cillizza will delve a little deeper into the surreal world of politics. Click to subscribe! Resets can work -- see John McCain during the 2008 presidential primary campaign -- but they are usually a return to the more authentic version of the politician. In O'Rourke's case, he seemed to have spent his first 60 days in the race being the person who caught fire in the Texas Senate race: Light on policy, more of a listener than a talker and, above all, cool and charismatic.Unfortunately for him, that profile isn't playing -- like, at all -- in the presidential race.

CillizzaCNN Like he had a chance!!

CillizzaCNN Yeah, he's a giant weirdo and anyone who takes 10 minutes out of their day to watch him speak will see him for what he is.. A Not-too-bright wack job

CillizzaCNN I heard him speak on The View. Was not impressed. Spoke in generalities and fluff and really said nothing. Definitely won’t vote for him.

CillizzaCNN Cnn tried to build him up too- see what happened?

CillizzaCNN Saw him on The View. He was too stiff, unable to speak without spouting his stump speech & looked way too uncomfortable. He did not impress me.

CillizzaCNN He never had a chance, as do several others just collecting money for non-starter campaigns. Accomplish Something first!

CillizzaCNN nice haircut

CillizzaCNN With a DUI and hit and run? I think not

CillizzaCNN These strong Democrats like Beto Stacy and others need to run for senate seats we need to get rid of Mitch to pass bills and appoint non bias judges and we are getting too many I feel running for president my opinion

CillizzaCNN Is there really early voting going on that I’m not aware of? Otherwise, what are these “returns” you’re talking about.

CillizzaCNN It was over before it ever started.

CillizzaCNN Pancho Villa “Beto” fakes being a Mexican for votes. He has fooled many.

CillizzaCNN There is zero time. He was and is a cypher from the beginning.

CillizzaCNN It makes me laugh when people claim Beto has no policy or is an empty suit. You have to be impressed by how much conviction they have while talking completely out of their asses. Do a little research:

CillizzaCNN BETO didn't return your call? WOMP WOMP

CillizzaCNN We have a lot of good candidates. It was just a matter of time before some of them went to the bottom of the list. Others will rise to the top. Natural order of selection

CillizzaCNN No matter who is on the democrats ticket they will not beat trump!

CillizzaCNN OUTSTANDING!!!

CillizzaCNN The dude did a live video of him getting a haircut. He’s just another clown that the Clown News Nework is trying to prop up. They have a lot in common? Low approval ratings😎

CillizzaCNN The fact is, BetoORourke shouldn’t even have run in the first place. He allowed Oprah and the likes to flatter and push him to run because of a successful senate campaign against tedcruz. I mean really? I knew from day one he wasn’t ready and I was right. The wal is crumbling

CillizzaCNN 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

CillizzaCNN Will his next video be him showing he is a regular guy taking a shit ?

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN He's white ! Democrats have taught me that 'white man bad' ! I will only vote for a color !

CillizzaCNN Trump is brilliant! Beto is 'Falling like a rock'. Can't help but laugh.

CillizzaCNN Jughead wants to be president.

CillizzaCNN He never stood a chance. Live streaming your dental appointment and hair cut along with an apology tour is a recipe for candidacy disaster.

CillizzaCNN Just last week cnn had him ten points over trump!

CillizzaCNN You also were convinced Trump would lose. Polls don't mean jack shit anymore. The media is NOT reporting accurately on Beto. His livestreams show a very different story. EVERY reporter who lies about Beto will NEVER have my trust or respect again.

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN He’s not The Beatles? Or JFK like you said? Oh 💩 🤷‍♂️

CillizzaCNN Wishing doesn't make it so CillizzaCNN ... your blinders will come off after the debates I predict Beto2020

CillizzaCNN Can’t run with the big dogs get out of the pen

CillizzaCNN Your 15 minutes are up. Why you ever thought you could win nationally when you couldn’t even win your own state is beyond comprehension.

CillizzaCNN I don't know - he lost a senate race to a guy who thinks there are pirates in space.

CillizzaCNN Media trying to tell us who to vote for or not to vote for...I’m voting for Beto

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN Dude, why are you lying? You’re a journalist, right? I guess you lack the integrity to report the facts. Sad.

CillizzaCNN VetoBeto is finished! See ya in six years!

CillizzaCNN BetoORourke

CillizzaCNN Bruh, he lost to Ted Cruz. He just looks pretty, so y’all propped him up to fail. Dude has no tangible platform to run on

CillizzaCNN Hoping for a colonoscopy

CillizzaCNN Nice Guy, but just isn't his time.

CillizzaCNN Robert Fransis Beto Bozo O'Rourke, fizzling out

CillizzaCNN I think he needs more women in is campaign and administration.

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN Not really! The clown has spoken while in a dental chair with the dentist picking his teeth while speaking. Stood on lunch counters where ppl are or were eating. And this clown is running for president! It doesn't surprise me that democrats in media and rank and file support him.

CillizzaCNN Buffoon

CillizzaCNN Go get another hair cut

CillizzaCNN 😂

CillizzaCNN Well he needs to rethink his course of action

CillizzaCNN Opinions not returns. The field is expanding beyond 20 candidates This phase does not determine a thing. Note your intent and carve out your strategy. Beto will do just fine - far from the completed package.

CillizzaCNN Too much gay shoved at Americans. Bye-Bye

CillizzaCNN With him and his wife's wealth. GIVE everything to the poor and we'll talk. realDonaldTrump

CillizzaCNN Opinions not returns. The field is expanding beyond 20 candidates and counting - This phase does not determine a thing. Note your intent and carve out your strategy. That’s all. Stop creating a story that’s yet to be created.

CillizzaCNN BETOBUST

CillizzaCNN Swirling down the drain faster than a bad cup of coffee🤣🤣🤣

CillizzaCNN He's out.

CillizzaCNN Need more than skateboarding skills in the White House.

CillizzaCNN No Gumby, noooo........hang in there! 😂

CillizzaCNN The guy loses the senate race and thinks he can win the presidency, the term I would use to describe him is a big loser

CillizzaCNN Beto is usually a Surname or a Nick name for Alberto and such.

CillizzaCNN He’s got my vote before Biden, most definitely Sanders and many others

CillizzaCNN There IS NOoooo WAY!!! America will even come close voting for this AZZ Clown!!!!

CillizzaCNN Bozo is finished. So are the other 20 or so. Who are we kidding? It’s either Biden or Biden.

CillizzaCNN Nothing matters until the debates. That’s when the one candidate begins to separate from the herd

CillizzaCNN He confused his success as being popular as opposed to hatred for Ted Cruz drove his numbers.

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN Bye bye Skateboard Boy

CillizzaCNN Cya Beto

CillizzaCNN Is he going to jump on everything he sees ? He reminds me of an overgrown kid.....not a candidate to become the POTUS

CillizzaCNN Bah Bye Beto

CillizzaCNN He should have honed his skills for another senate or gubernatorial run.

CillizzaCNN Uh.... maybe your “polls” will show him climbing. Haha

CillizzaCNN Beto is letting his personality overshadow his policy and it is downright killing his campaign

CillizzaCNN Beto who? Oh... he was that guy who couldn’t even beat Ted Cruz... I remember him

CillizzaCNN Go away BetoORourke America and LATINOS doesn't want a racist as PRESIDENT

CillizzaCNN Beto is a joke!

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN At the end of this long Democratic 2020 primary process, those with substance will rise to the top and those who are fluff will sink. amyklobuchar is substance. Beto, I am sorry to say, is fluff.

CillizzaCNN Well his 'poetry' about buffing balls and waxing his ass is not very presidential nor is writing about wanting to run over children. Bento Is just a real life butthead.

CillizzaCNN Well, for one thing, as a Democrat, I don't know crap about most of the candidates. Everything on cable is 'all about Trump'. I wish they would use 50 minutes/hour talking about who the candidates are and what their policy is, instead of 60 min about NitWit in the WH.

CillizzaCNN Chris Who? A non entity who constantly spews hate and writes nonsense

CillizzaCNN 😂 he never really had a chance. He was all hype thanks to the MSM.

CillizzaCNN Beto’s Blog: Met up with Chris from New York. He said he is a big fan, and had gotten some magnetic letters stuck in his butt. I helped him, we got the B, E and T out but I just couldn’t bring out the O. He said I was an amateur and is was going to call me Bob. CallMeMaybe

CillizzaCNN 2024 SaraCarterDC

CillizzaCNN Only if he is not a loser.

CillizzaCNN He took millions of other peoples money to waste it on an election in Texas. This is how leftist govern, take other peoples money and waste it for votes. Beto is EXACTLY why cities run by leftists get destroyed. Its why Seattle is a dump and California is bankrupt.

CillizzaCNN He’s a joke. That is obvious.

CillizzaCNN Hahaha that name Beto is LOOSERVILE !!! what a crap brand to market for President !

CillizzaCNN Yeah sure 😂😂😂😂😂

CillizzaCNN As they say in Texas: He’s all hat and no cattle.

CillizzaCNN cnn no

CillizzaCNN Who?

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN The people want to hear impeachment.The result will not be the same as Clinton's,there is proff positive this man,this embarrassment to America.

CillizzaCNN I don't like his personality

CillizzaCNN BetoORourke earn a Senate seat first

CillizzaCNN Bursted a long time ago. And held the needle.

texascpa23 CillizzaCNN All of the democrats are losing support. Bernie and Biden’s numbers are dropping along with everybody else’s. People are sick of these liberals trying to one up each other by being the most extremist.

CillizzaCNN Beto was and is nothing but a phony.

CillizzaCNN The only way Beto turns it around is if he hides. The problem is him. The more people get to know Beto the more they don’t like him. He’s not remotely capable of being POTUS.

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN Another waste of $6 million for democratic donors. The shiny object is not aging well.

CillizzaCNN More Propaganda!

CillizzaCNN Well, it's his own fault....he's an idiot.

CillizzaCNN it's over, give it up

CillizzaCNN Anyone with an IQ higher than their shoe size knew this bozo was a bust on day 1.

CillizzaCNN Robert is a one-man freak show.

CillizzaCNN There was a balloon?

CillizzaCNN Can’t believe anyone would consider that clown anyway!

CillizzaCNN These type candidates will never learn. Sorta like the media doesn’t learn by their constant mistakes on reporting news. Voters don’t wanna see down their throats while teeth are being cleaned, watch em eat or drink beer, OR get a haircut🙄

CillizzaCNN How could this be? He just got a haircut live on Facebook

CillizzaCNN I feel bad for him.

CillizzaCNN Democrats are Losers. Plain and simple.

CillizzaCNN JoeBiden and BetoORourke 2020 !

CillizzaCNN It was over before it began

CillizzaCNN The man has charisma but no policy and no knowledge. Therefore he has no chance. MSNBC future contributor.

CillizzaCNN He’s a choad.

CillizzaCNN It's hilarious when liberals complain about biased reporting from . Come on now... you know who you are. Very entertaining.

CillizzaCNN They should all quit wasting money and give it all to schools and homeless veterans!

CillizzaCNN Wow. CNN and it’s NOT Fake News

CillizzaCNN Umm no time up. He is finished. The media has turned against him.

CillizzaCNN Dudes a bum....pack it up

CillizzaCNN Yet again! Another unelectable candidate... The Democrats have no direction.. Maybe they'll win in 2024 but not 2020.

CillizzaCNN Nah he’s done

oladaybak CillizzaCNN It was about time he has nothing to offer

CillizzaCNN Bias as ever, this guy is toasted

CillizzaCNN Bozo

CillizzaCNN Nay!! He's done!!

CillizzaCNN Wasn’t this your great white hope cnn?

CillizzaCNN Beto is the face of the new Democrat Party, white privilege and style over substance

CillizzaCNN We need him to run for Senate.

CillizzaCNN Still time for what? To get a video of him plucking his nose hair?

CillizzaCNN His fascination with murdering innocent children really hurt him huh?

CillizzaCNN Imagine there’s no pundits, it isn’t hard to do. . . Whose more useless—Cillizza or CNN for filling its air time with him and other pundits rather than, you know, actual journalism.

CillizzaCNN Beto needs to decide what he will do after his political career. That career is over.

CillizzaCNN He is a losing candidate because he has no policy goals he just has a quirky personality and some money behind him

CillizzaCNN Who’s Beto?

CillizzaCNN Pop goes the Beta

CillizzaCNN He’s done deBlasio4Prez

CillizzaCNN Blew is Beto wad

CillizzaCNN No chance for him

CillizzaCNN Cilly Lizzard, I want to see all 24 democrats come out of the clown stretch limo and onto the debate stage. Have to wonder who his campaign manager is who thought it was a great idea to have spit sucked out during a dental exam, lift dumbbells, and get a bad haircut.

CillizzaCNN The dems have 4 semi qualified candidates, Biden, Sanders, Harris, Warren. The other 19 are more qualified than Beto. Not one has the economic or foreign policy acumen that Pres Trump has displayed. Lets just go to a Constitutional Monarchy & make Trump king. Wed be better off.

CillizzaCNN His policy on immigration is way better than Biden.

CillizzaCNN Beto? The media propped him up as a great candidate yet he didn't role out any policies & he came across as another wealthy Texan who's out of touch with the working class...The U.S. is tired of southern & Texas politicians...It's like they are living in the mid-1800s...Barffff!!

CillizzaCNN This guy is a goof ball who the media helped to think he could be President. This is what a joke our political system has become. Most of the people elected couldn’t make it in the real world, but because of corruption enter politics & become wealthy. What a farce!

CillizzaCNN Polls always vary. Biden has no support from millenials.

CillizzaCNN All that table jumping was a turn off

CillizzaCNN .ForecasterEnten BetoORourke went TheView to decry his 'privileged' VanityFair rollout - then actually said in the attempt a reset, 'I've had the privilege of a lot of things most people don't.' So he tried to escape 'privilege' - then did it yet again. CantMakeItUp

CillizzaCNN Beto. If Beto becomes President, I'm moving to Afghanistan.

CillizzaCNN Perhaps if he keeps renouncing his white privilege, he can be a person of color.

CillizzaCNN He needs to go to mainstream media...and to go to continue to go to universities and colleges.

CillizzaCNN Stop lying! He don't have a dam chance!

CillizzaCNN BetoORourke Ballon only full of hot air-was destined to burst.

CillizzaCNN NO! hhahahahaahahahahha

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN Perhaps he should have not filmed that ridiculous visit to the dentist. 😷 What a Loser. BetoORourke will never be POTUS.

CillizzaCNN zero chance

CillizzaCNN BidenBeto2020 ? I’m a huge BetoORourke fan, but if this is the case, I’d love to see him at least be Biden’s VP.

CillizzaCNN Haha, just run Biden, that will be hilarious, 2020 will be glorious.

CillizzaCNN Later skater

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN Dude is the poster child for Skateboard helmets!

CillizzaCNN Why not wait until after first debate.......just saying cant hurt..........

CillizzaCNN I can’t understand why?

CillizzaCNN Why bother running when your campaign is a joke and your chances of winning the nomination are Zero!

CillizzaCNN Truth is, he should run for Congress or a different office. He made the move toward presidency too early in his career. He needs more credentials.

CillizzaCNN It’s all the hand gestures... goofy

CillizzaCNN WRONG again.

CillizzaCNN The guy is a poser.

CillizzaCNN Way to go msm - doing your best to keep news neutral, right? You make me sick.

CillizzaCNN 😂

CillizzaCNN What was Obama's poll numbers prior to first debate? Just wondering

CillizzaCNN Beto makes Sarah Palin look good. They both have short term appeal for those looking for something (even if it is not really there, which you soon figure out)

CillizzaCNN Rolling up shirts and reciting slogans are not enough.

CillizzaCNN “Early returns”? We are almost 8 months out from the first elections. How can their be any “returns” at all? Polls are not “early returns”, they are just opinion polls.

CillizzaCNN Perfect example of what happens when the Liberal MSM tries to prop up a nothingburger Dem.

CillizzaCNN Run for Sebate Beto

CillizzaCNN I like Beto but he’s not ready.

CillizzaCNN RUN FOR SENATE!

CillizzaCNN Beto’s candidacy was created by the media. The media discarded Beto for their new darling, “Mayor Pete.” A testament to the power of the media.

CillizzaCNN Not that hard a call.

CillizzaCNN The US needed him to run again for the senate.

CillizzaCNN RUN FOR SENATE! He is a good speaker, with good morals, good ideas, and should definitely run for senate. We need the Senate or else all will be for nothing.

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN We all see right thru his phoniness..serious car salesman vibes.

CillizzaCNN He just does not have a global view.

CillizzaCNN His penchant for asinine behavior precedes his campaign. No normal person wants to watch a man undergo a dental exam or receive a haircut. BornForThis

CillizzaCNN Wow and you highly educated people actually think this clown should ever be the PRESIDENT shows just how cult like you are for a political party.

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN There's plenty of time to vote for PeteButtigieg 🇺🇸 !! 2020 America needs a solution.

CillizzaCNN when you have 20+ people every poll is influenced by: NAME RECOGNITION NAME RECOGNITION NAME RECOGNITION NAME RECOGNITION NAME RECOGNITION

CillizzaCNN Until he ran against Ted Cruz most of America never heard of this jamoke

CillizzaCNN His leading point of 'I'm gay, love me' just was not effective. Surprising, right? No, it's not surprising.

CillizzaCNN VetoBeto

CillizzaCNN Sicko! Yikes!

CillizzaCNN He will never be pres

CillizzaCNN It's amazing how the same media that held up Beto as a Deus ex Machina who was gonna come outta nowhere and save everyone when he was running against Ted Cruz(Republican) are now taking a shit on him when he wants to run against democrats.

CillizzaCNN 'If I could throw two kinds of people in the garbage it would be the elderly and wounded veterans' - Beto

Turn WHAT around?! The train’s left!

CillizzaCNN You mean his haircut livestream didn't turn his campaign around? Imagine that...

CillizzaCNN Beto will not make it he has no charisma words without substance talking points just has no magnetism

CillizzaCNN I like the guy but he lost me at the haircut video...

CillizzaCNN No. Win hearts and minds in Texas first.

CillizzaCNN He needs to go to Walmart grocery shopping next.... 😂

CillizzaCNN 😂😂😂

CillizzaCNN

CillizzaCNN Needs more skateboard and guitar videos

CillizzaCNN Sorry, who is this again? ElizabethWarren2020

CillizzaCNN Who thinks President Trump should place CIA and FBI SPIES in Joe Biden‘s campaign? Spying on Joe’s friends, families and staff? Start multi-year long INVESTIGATIONS? After all, Joe’s got ties to China and Ukraine and we must protect our elections lol

CillizzaCNN So white guilt didn't work, do you really want this guy to be your president?

CillizzaCNN Turn what around? He wouldn’t even turn around when he fled the scene of one of his DUIs.

CillizzaCNN Once again, nice guy probably weak leader.

CillizzaCNN Beto is the worst of all 735645 Dems who have announced a run so far.
