DES MOINES, Iowa — As night fell and his staffers led him through the drizzle to his rented Dodge Grand Caravan for the last time, Beto O’Rourke was asked Friday by a reporter, “What do you think went wrong for you?” He didn’t answer, allowing the question, over cross-talk from reporters, to hang briefly in the air. (Snip) Former President Barack Obama was publicly drawing comparisons between the former Texas congressman and himself, while former Obama aides were privately encouraging young operatives to move to O’Rourke’s hometown, El Paso, to get in early on the campaign. The media would soon

As Gertrude Stein said: There is no there there. All betamin wanted was attention and he's had his 15 minutes. Good riddance.

Robert Francis O'Rourke ran through $100 million of liberals' money and has nothing to show for it. No sentient person will ever give him another dime.

He ws only a star because the press said so when he was running against Cruz. And lts of outside money rolled into the state.
He was a media creation, created to slay Cruz. He failed his one task and believed the hype.

I'm not sure that there's ever been a bigger joke of a candidate.

Nothing went "wrong". It went exactly as anyone from Texas would have told it would have gone.
Beto-the-faux-Mexican just had to start opening his mouth, and he was going to self-destruct!!! We told everyone that months ago. He couldn't help it. He is spoiled, stupid, and evil. When he started talking, that is exactly what he proved over and over again!!!

What went wrong? Being an absolute moron did the trick as it has with the rest of the losers who dropped out. The biggest losers are still in the game.

I think somebody told him it was over and his ego deflated. We will see who Dems bring in at the last moment because this is an awful bunch.

I think O'Rourke visited Erie, Pa a while back, and a small group of supporters met quietly with him. It was a dull, low key event.
He is such an inadequate candidate, I would vote for Senator Bobby Casey over him. And I hold Bobby Casey in such low regard, words fail me.

As a Pennsylvanian, I was disgusted and hateful towards Ted Cruz, because of his behavior and comments at the Republican convention in 2016. His behavior after that, supporting DJT as president, allowed me to finally forgive Ted. In fact, I believe he would be an outstanding U.S. Supreme Court justice, and was born for that role. There is no lawyer in the U.S. superior to him.
What does that have to do with the 2019 senate election in Texas? I suspect Texans of the same ilk as I, also held Ted's convention behavior against him, and voted accordingly.
Therefore, O'Rourke's showing in the 2018 senate race was a fluke.
Now I hope the media ignore him. But Chris Wallace will probably seek out the fake mexican for interviews.
The dimocrats are full of fakes and flukes this round, well beyond O'Rourke.
Kamala Sutra, the fake American - she is Canadian-Jamaican-Indian.
Cherokee Lizzie Warren, a fake Native American.
Jo Biden - a fake moralist, who put his married girlfriend named Jill, on his Senate office payroll.
Amy Klobachar - a fake human being.
Andrew Yang - who may come from another galaxy.
Wilhelm Warren, who changed his name to DeBlasio.
Bernie Sanders, married to a college president who killed a college.
Tulsi Gabbard, a silly Samoan, who stands on shifting sands in the leper colony.
Castro the reconstructed illegitimate child of an activist.
Steyer, whose billions of dollars have yielded zero - nada - nuffin! No one except for me, talks about the guy! What a dud! He couldn't talk a girl into bed at the Bunny Ranch in Nevada!
Peter the Homosexual, who presents himself as a moral choice! And serves as a failed, absentee mayor of a dying city.
Marianne Williamson (my personal favorite) who dances on moonbeams.
Delaney, the crazy eyed Irishman, who makes the most sense of all the candidates.
What a crew! (Is Bennet still in the mix? I forget.)

Excellent, #17. If you wrote for the Weekly Standard, they might still be in business.
