Beto O’Rourke is running for governor, challenging Republican Greg Abbott in a clash of two of Texas’ biggest politicians.
“I’m running to serve the people of Texas, and I want to make sure that we have a governor that serves everyone, helps to bring this state together to do the really big things before us and get past the small, divisive politics and policies of Greg Abbott,” O’Rourke said in an interview with The Texas Tribune. “It is time for change.”
The former El Paso congressman, 2018 U.S. Senate nominee and 2020 presidential contender said he was running for governor to improve public schools, health care and jobs in Texas.

What name will he be using? And is he still going to be jumping up on counters and entering the stage on a skateboard?
I wonder why there was no Cabinet position or Ambassadorship for this guy. He probably envies Mayor Pete who checks a box he can't.
Poor Beto simply reeks of desperation, doesn't he?

Dumb move 2022 is going to be a Red Tsunami. This whatever his real name is’ second statewide loss. He will become permanently damaged goods. Of course he is not even guaranteed the nomination- the prospects in the Democratic Party are not good for White Males - you will start to see less and less of them in office.

#6, the governor of Oregon presented herself as bisexual, based on her having once dated a lesbian in college.
She is, however, married to a man.
Perhaps the fake Mexican can do the same.
But what happened to Dementia Jo's promise that Beto would be his gun control czar?? Was that an empty campaign promise, or the forgotten ramblings of a confused old man?

Wait, "two of Texas’ biggest politicians"? The Governor and a previous, (one of 36) Representative who failed to even become a Senator or hold statewide office? My, the bar for "biggest politicians" is low for a faied Democrat. I doubt the 'journalist' fanboy is even aware of how absurd he sounds.

With Abbott stumbling and bumbling around, don't sell this short. The guy now "eliminated" is Matthew McConaughey, who would pull from much the same pool as Beto, even as a Republican.

Let's see how far the MSM will go into propping him up. My guess: not very far. Beto is a clown, and most people recognize that fact now. Even the talking heads on ABC and CBS.

One question - why? Is he tired of skateboarding? The man has zero skills. To call him a lounge lizard is insulting reptiles.

Beto's running for governor after he lost his senate bid against Cruz because he thinks he's something special. Just like John Kerry thought he was something special. Just like Al Gore thought he was something special.
Democrat nimrods always overestimate their worth to the community.
It would be best if they'd shut their yaps, go away and become monks.

As a non-sequitur, I heard that Louie Gohmert may be running for Attorney General of Texas this time around. Now THAT would be great!

Robert O'Rourke is NOT one of "Texas' biggest politicians." He's a lay-about who lives off of his wife's money and criticizes those who work for a living. "Beto" is yesterday's bumper sticker.

I think I see his strategy. He runs for Gov, gets less than 1% of the vote and then replaces Kamala as Joe's VP, the "first" VP named Beto.
