BETO O’ROUKE’S CAMPAIGN REBOOT FEELS MORE LIKE AN END THAN A BEGINNING

https://www.newyorker.com/news/campaign-chronicles/beto-orourkes-campaign-reboot-feels-more-like-an-end-than-a-beginning

On Thursday, O’Rourke delivered a speech that was billed as his return to the trail. He spoke outdoors, with El Paso stretched out behind him, in a park he used to walk through to get from his house to his high school. “I gotta tell you,” O’Rouke said. “There’s some part of me, and it’s a big part of me, that wants to stay here, and be with my family, and be with my community.” He spoke of his “overwhelming pride” in El Paso, and addressed his critics in the Democratic Party who have soured on him as a Presidential candidate. “There have even been some who have suggested that I stay in Texas and run for Senate,” he said. (John Cornyn, Texas’s senior senator, is up for reëlection in 2020.) “But that would not be good enough for this community. That would not be good enough for El Paso. That would not be good enough for this country. We must take the fight directly to the source of this problem.” He meant Trump. And yet, in a way, he agreed with his critics. He didn’t want to return to the campaign trail he’d left behind, where he’d been floundering—bad polls, bad press, bad debate performances. “I know there is a way to do this better—and that came to me last week,” he said. He wouldn’t be going back for corn dogs in Iowa. Instead, he said, he’d go “to those places where Donald Trump has been terrorizing and terrifying and demeaning our fellow-Americans. That’s where you will find me in this campaign.”

1. Beto is doing fine. he is young and has decades to become president

he has only seriously thought about running just months before he got into it.

he is doing his thing and it's helping the party as a whole. he went after the media for the way they report on trump instead of whining about how everyone is unfair to him like some people do.

4. I don't think you should be calling out our font runner's campaign.

Symone Sanders is correct that the “gaffe coverage” is a narrative.


You should support him in their quest for fair treatment and not refer to it as whining.

The Biden campaign has every right to push back on the press.

Biden Advisor Symone Sanders Clashes With CNN’s Keilar Over Biden Gaffes: It’s ‘A Press Narrative’

(Simone)Sanders responded, “This is a press narrative, not a voter narrative. If you were to look at the coverage in Iowa this weekend and juxtapose the local newspapers and local television coverage to national media coverage you would have thought these reporters were at two different events.”

She said she won’t tell the press how to do their jobs, but added everyone should “elevate the conversation” and that “we cannot allow this election to devolve in a tit for tat over name-calling and ‘gaffes,’ something that does not matter. This is not something that’s registering with the American people.”

13. Beto is no threat to Biden.

No way.

[cwydro]

6. He's not "young",

Sorry, but not.

[JI7]

7. considering what age Biden will be if he becomes president

it is young and gives him decades .

[cwydro]

9. Lol.

2. sad but true

I saw Beto in Nashville. He's dynamic and fresh. To be honest, I'm tired of the same old, recycled, DC politicians. Our party needs a new generation of leadership. I was hoping for a Governor out side of DC. Of course, I would vote for a goat if it beats Trump. When we run nominees under 55, we win and the contrast to an old, bloated Trump would be stark

3. His earliest chance in TX will be against Cruz 2024

He has no shot at the presidential nomination next year, we can all agree on that.

[TexasTowelie]

21. No, I don't agree with you at all,

so don't be presumptuous and think that you speak for everyone.

[gulliver]

5. He or Castro need to run against Cornyn.

One of them needs to do it.

[cwydro]

10. Why not the women running?

Beto couldn’t even beat Cruz.

[gulliver]

11. Which woman can beat Cornyn? I don't care about the abstract "women."

I care about which actual woman. I'll admit, I don't know who can beat Cornyn, but O'Rourke and Julian Castro seem like good possibilities. Who else? Woman or not.

[cwydro]

12. Um, are you not aware of the candidates there?

Eek.

[gulliver]

14. Didn't I just say that? I think I did.

[cwydro]

15. Ah, I gotcha.

[gulliver]

16. Well then!

[cwydro]

17. Sorry, but Beto isn't going to be winning anything.

Time will tell.

18. Feels very loud with all those caps.

[RLG]

19. Why are Sanders's supporters so eager to get him out of the race?

He's not the one BS supporters should be worried about.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

20. Or maybe people are just posting news articles

[TexasTowelie]

22. No, it is obvious what is occurring.

None of us on this site were born yesterday.

[elocs]

23. Frankly, I find these kind of "new articles" to be less than candid

being posted here when they come from somebody who has their own dog in the fight because I never seem to read from somebody who supports a candidate post a news article saying something good or encouraging about another candidate.
