Politico - The Next Lincoln

quote:

Like Lincoln, O’Rourke is charismatic, tall, lanky, filled with energy, an accomplished public speaker and a natural campaigner. Like Lincoln, O’Rourke is a can-do underdog with an ability to command an audience and energize an army of followers. And finally—just like Lincoln—O’Rourke would begin his quest for the presidency (he says he’s not a candidate, but who believes that), following a Senate campaign that he actually lost. “I go back through our history and tick off the candidates for the presidency and I can’t think of anyone who became president after losing a Senate campaign,” Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer, the author of the groundbreaking Lincoln At Cooper Union, says. “There’s Lincoln and no one else. If Beto O’Rourke does it he would be the second. I have to say, that would be amazing.”
It's not about his positions, folks. It's about his charisma, his savoir fare, his fund raising prowess, and his army of swooning, man-bun wearing, soy drinking betas.

Style over substance, 2.0

Don't worry, Kamala Harris won't let Beto get in her way to become the first black female nominated.

Imagine either of those ciphers at a G20 summit.

It would be like Trudeau or Macron, such lightweights you would need to tie them down.

Oh and never forget, his nickname only became "Beto" recently.

He's an Irishman named Robert who has been known as "Bob" his entire life.

If Trump and Obama could become President without any real experience, why not? I wouldn’t put anything past this stupid country.

That’s Dems for you. Appeal to emotion with powerful words. Accomplishments be damned.

I fully expect him to be a very strong contender for the Dem nomination.

Him. HRC. Biden. Sanders Harris. Warren are the top candidates. Those last 2 being a long shot.

I’ve never heard of a person of Irish descent that has a Hispanic nickname, that’s pretty much the only interesting thing about this douche.

Oh and the fleeing police while driving drunk thing. Good luck with all that in the primary, Robert.

And God help you if you’re ever head to head with President Trump

Actually, I think attacking Paddy O'Rourke in this regard would be a mistake, just as it would've been for Ted Cruz had done so (for which Cruz was heavily criticized on this board).

Why? Well, suburban white women who are wet in the panties for Robert Francis would screech "that's mean!," which might increase their turnout.

You see, Beto definitely has a path to the presidency, and it runs right between the legs of white women suburbia.

Then please educate us master. Why was he elected? Surely it wasn't based on protecting the border, tax cuts, or appointing conservative supreme court justices.
