Beto O’Rourke 2020 campaign megathread

[Pandaguineapig]

Maybe, Just Maybe, O'Rourke is a genuinely unimpressive trustfund baby who gained an unwarranted national profile from a slobbering media that hated Ted Cruz? Now that there are other shiny objects for democratic voters, his whole schtick isn't selling anymore

O'Rourke's slump can be attributed to the fact that he is a total media creation and without 24/7 media fellation people have discovered he is a pathetic trust fund baby with no skills or accomplishments

Says a Trump supporter.

Lol, I didn't even vote for Trump

The irony is that Donald Trump might be the only major candidate for president whose ancestors did not own slaves

All comments aside, anyone who thinks that there will actually be reparations is incredibly stupid, it really only exists as an issue to ignite the far-left base of the party.

His campaign has to be the biggest joke.

Indeed, if this were how 2018 went, he'd have lost to Cruz like it was the 2014 Senate Election and Cruz was John Cornyn.

As a former Beto-backer, I don’t think the problem is him exactly. His past campaigns were so successful because he ran the way he wanted to: no pollsters, being honest and blunt. But this year he’s been running a textbook campaign. He listened to pundits and consultants who kept saying he had to run the way they’ve always seen campaigns run. If he tunes them out and goes with his gut the way he used to, he can tap into that same energy he had in 2018 and pull a McCain-level comeback.

No, it was more the fact that he had the entire national media prompting and hyping his campaign in 2018, now that they have other shiny objects they don't want to play with him anymore

His Reddit AMA has been a disaster.

oh man you're not kidding

It also got hijacked by posts referring to him as a furry. Campaigns that are in good shape tend not to do stunts like this
