The Beatification of Beto

Most disturbing is how O'Rourke is campaigning purely on Obama-like platitudes and not on his own record.

The Beatification of Beto

The media’s treatment of Texas Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke wasn’t the most egregiously unfair coverage of the past year — that would be the treatment of Brett Kavanaugh — but it ranks among 2018’s most annoying. The endless glowing profiles of O’Rourke in every publication from Vanity Fair to Spin to Rolling Stone to Town & Country represent the national media’s worsening challenge in differentiating between what it wants to see happen and what is actually happening.

The guy is a total fraud with his fake hispanic name and criminal record.

1.  Sure are a lot of "Beto" yard signs around.  More of Cruz are popping up, but they're being defaced and even pooped upon (happened in our own neighborhood).

 

2.  Uh, er... isn't this the same article that the OP cites?

1.  Avoiding his appalling votes (such as 4 times against Hurricane Harvey aid?!) and talking in platitudes.

2.  Again, he never claimed to be Hispanic, but he's probably benefiting passively from it.

3.  If Ted Cruz (or any Republican) had this record, he'd have been hounded off the ballot long ago.

Yes, but this link actually works.  The link in the OP was not hyperlinked hence the assist.

 

The one thing I thought about in the article is even though "Beto" is not Hispanic, the press alludes to it and seems to think it will lead to more Hispanics in politics.  Isn't Cruz an actual Hispanic, or does that not count for him since he is not a Democrat?

Those people must be lost and think they are in San Fransisco where the leftists treat the streets like a giant toilet and take a dump everywhere.

The press will glom onto any advantage.  Remember that Hispanics vote Democrat in a bloc, now.

Yes and no -- recent Hispanic heritage (father), but born in Canada (therefore Canadian, and in fact less fit to be president than 0bama who was born in Africa), and neither Hispanic nor qualified for office because of party.  Accordingly, Beto is Hispanic, qualified, and necessary to elect.

This was deliberate, in an area without any bars nearby, so can't be blamed on drunken defecational urgency.

Trust me, people in CA do not need.a bar nearby to defecate on the sidewalks.  It’s crazy how they behave in some places.

Maybe Beto should do a DNA test, he might come up with 1/1024th Hispanic ancestry.

Retraction:  Beto's father is on written record that he nicknamed his son "Beto" in case he ever wanted to run for political office in Texas.

--------

Most recent polls show Cruz with a high single-digit lead over Senor Beto.

I live in a fairly effluent area, and I see many Beto's signs in yards.  I think they are mostly people who came to Texas from California.

 

I don't see a democrat winning in Texas, we are still pretty red state and conservative.

I don't know, I believe he has a fairly good chance at betting 'lyin' Ted. The polls I suspect don't adequately gauge Beto's chances, probably underestimate the level of voter unhappiness with Lyin' Ted and the GOP white House.
