DES MOINES, Iowa — Beto O'Rourke stumbled with women from the start, featuring his wife sitting silently in his presidential campaign launch video and joking repeatedly about being a part-time parent. But with his campaign at risk of stalling, O'Rourke is attempting to improve his standing with female voters. His wife, Amy, will begin a rare string of campaign appearances on Friday in Iowa, speaking at joint events and making herself available to chat and take pictures with would-be supporters. Her presence will be an important test of whether Beto O'Rourke can reverse his less-than-favorable first impressions with women. It's an

Nope. He still reminds too many women of their gormless ex-boyfriend.

It is agonizing to watch this no-talent squirm and writhe in his political death throes.

If women don't like you. Men don't like you. All that left is the Trannie Vote.

FTA...'Beto O'Rourke can reverse his less-than-favorable first impressions with women.'
Sorry, you don't get a second chance to make a first impression.

If he were a viable candidate, there wouldn't be a need to "rely on the wife". It's somewhat disconcerting in a graspingly tacky way that Mr O'Rourke or his handlers would need to resort to such a plan B. In any case, she looks relatively advanced in her years and her hair needs fixing.

I seem to recall one Dr. Howard Dean in 2004 who had a Dr. wife who wanted nothing to do with campaigning. And as his campaign fell apart, he trotted her out - to campaign.
But she merely sat beside him, silent in her support.
When I look at the fake mexican's wife, I am reminded of that.

#5, perhaps she hasn’t recovered from the concussion she must have gotten as she sat next to him on a sofa when he declared his presidential run. He was gesticulating so wildly that her whole body was suffering whiplash. Her brain must have been sliding around her skull like an omelet in a pan just before it is flipped. Throughout, she didn’t exactly look engaged in the enterprise.

She has come off in the past as being some kind of Stepford wife type personality. Having to deal with the infantile narcissism of Captain Skateboard, I suspect she is on some kind of helper in order to cope. He is a twitchy, weird man that just creeps most of us voters out. Don't drag your wife into this and expect her to save you. She has been through enough.

Proof positive that the fake Mexican Beto is a pajama boy. He has to send in wifey to shill for him.

That video is great in its own way. There is a grinning, silent, possibly heavily medicated Amy looking longingly at Beto. The problem is, she is clinging to his left arm and preventing him from frantically waving it around while speaking.
But then again, as noted, perhaps she was 'dazed and confused' from a previous speech of his where she failed to secure his arm, and got whacked in the noggin...

FTA: He has this kind of persona of the preppy rich kid and it's easy to say, 'He's just another privileged white guy and does America need that now?' I totally see that," said Tzatzil LeMair, who helped organize campaign events while O'Rourke was running for Senate in Texas and helms the "Latinos for Beto" page on Facebook. "Beto is like this product, but you have to try it. You have to get people to meet him. You need to 'experience' Beto."
No wonder he is doing so poorly. He is all style and no substance.

All of the above. He and his wife should find something else to do.

Unfortunately you must also question the woman who would marry a pretty boy, nerd skateboarder who doesn't seem to have a grip on reality. Good luck, Amy.
