We gather today to say a hearty RIP to the Beto O’Rourke political project, helmed by one Beto O’Rourke, who ran one of the most remarkable Senate campaigns and one of the most underwhelming presidential campaigns in modern American history—all in the space of about 31 months.
Late on a Friday afternoon, O’Rourke and his loved ones made the decision to pull the plug, releasing a Medium post explaining why. “Though it is difficult to accept, it is clear to me now that this campaign does not have the means to move forward successfully,” he wrote.

The boy was totally out of touch with America. As soon as he said “I’ll take your guns” he was done.

Beto (or Robert) is a whacko out of touch with reality. How he got so far will be a lasting mystery.

Across the early primary states, restaurant and diner tables and bar counters will now be safe from Beto's shoes. He did find a way to make us to look up to him.

There may be more room, #5, but there’s still not enough room for Illary’s bloated carcass.

Beto needs to be returned to the daycare center.

Beto was not easy to look at or to listen to. He was lucky he got as far as he did. That's what happens when you have big out of state money and a friendly press pushing you.

This piece of work Beto is thankfully out of it now. I continue to shake my head as to how the dim party comes up with a cast of characters like these who proclaim they want to be president and will take our guns and triple our tax rate practically in the same sentence. While I still think Billary will stick her head out at times like a turtle (no offense Leader McConnell) to test the waters, her evil and criminal persona will soon slip under the waves. When you look at the remaining so-called candidates, not much there. But, the dims will have to nominate somebody while the dim party splits into two factions. VP Bite Me or Lizzie perhaps. They would have to nominate a radical leftist as VP running mate to keep their millennials and children happy. With another solid campaign by President Trump, he's in bigly.

What a shame that the democrat backers and Mrs. O'Rourke had to waste so much money promoting their JFK wannabe and he ends up dropping to the curb like his skateboard missed the railing and he suffered one of those YouTube nutcrackers. Three years and millions of dollars and they still can't produce a candidate who can do math or do anything that comes remotely close to what Donald Trump has already accomplished. The same old massive giveaways just do not have much appeal when people are told how much they will have to pay to support other people who must be trucked in to have their votes bought.

How is it that Ted Cruz is sanctimonious and opportunist? I missed that. I don’t think he’s a natural, but who is?
But, the good news is I vet to say: Goodbye Jughead! They probably want you in New York.

#14, I don't know if you live in Texas. What happened to Ted Cruz in Texas is that he had vowed not to use his Senate seat as a "stepping-stone" and after he was elected immediately began his campaign for the presidency. Not log after, he brought the Senate to a halt with his ill-advised psuedo-filibuster against Obama Care. By the time he was up for reelection, he was widely disliked in Texas. So, Beto's strong showing owed a lot to Ted-resentment. Now, however, I believe Senator Cruz got the message and has realized he has an obligation to the state he represents and he is doing a much better job.

I never watch liberals on television, ever. I never listened to or ever heard a complete two sentences from Obama for eight years. Last night on Laura Ingraham she bit farewell to Beto showing clips of him on the campaign and oh my. I couldn't believe what an immature idiot he was. It's takes a really stupid adult to fall for that silliness this doofus pedaled. O'Rourke made Bernie Sanders look sane.
I also witnessed Elizabeth Warren the school teacher every hated in elementary school. That's another nut job with the flailing Orangutan arms karate chopping the air while lecturing/screeching like a wounded panther. Geez where do the democrats find these misfits?

He always reminded me of a marionette. Every time I saw him, I looked up to see who was pulling the strings on his arms.

I challenge anyone to find an adult among Booby's supporters.

A person completely divorced from reality. He read too many of his news clippings and believed them.

I truthfully believe he was chosen by the Democrats for his overbite. As poster #13 says, "a Kennedy wannabe". Perhaps someone like Chris Matthews discovered him. Chris always remembers the Kennedy years as the best evah.
Though I think Obama is his new idol.
(When you think about it, a lot of people just want to "get someone in there", and then they'll figure out what role he'll play.)

Little boy "Beto". Go back to the skate park where you belong. What a clown. He has to go down as one of the worst candidates of all time. He was so desparate at the end all he could do was bad mouth the country by playing the race card.
FY Robert Francis, what a joke you are.

You're up next, Buttster. You're just as delusional and every bit as pathetic. To be fair, maybe not quite as obnoxious.

It was great picking on him. Who will take his place. Chief Liz; Poor old Commie Bernie? Kicking Biden isn't any fun any more because of all the garbage that blows back. Wow! Beto's daddy must have had piles and piles of moolah.

I think most of these crazy losers run for office just so they can keep all their campaign contributions afterward. We wouldn't elect most of them to be our local dogcatcher, but they all play to the liberal fears and prejudices and rake in all that campaign cash.

#19 is correct. The only swooning for Beto occurred on college campuses where the airhead girls liked his hair.

Even a Texas Monthly writer can't resist poking a little bit of fun. But the same writer doesn't understand or won't admit that O'Rourke only came fairly close in the Texas Senate race because so many good Texans had had enough of the sanctimonious opportunist Ted Cruz.
