Okay, the question has been asked...

They thought he was a conman and a crook and full of shit. He wasn't charged with any crime.

DWIs are particularly disqualifying on a moral basis.

MADD probably isn't going to give Beto their endorsement. Originally Posted by grean

Hopefully O'Rourke has taken the same path I have and if so, I would not hold that DWI against him.

I'm betting that Beto has a glass jaw and can't take a punch. Kind of like losing a Golden Gloves bout and now you're facing Tyson in his prime. Originally Posted by the_real_Barleycorn

"Is he a drunk who doesn't have enough control not to drive drunk or does he just not care if he hurts people while driving intoxicated. "

That's the first ad.

Anyone wanna take a stab at the second?

You're not his issue, Speed. It's the guys who didn't voted for Trump because they felt Clinton was morally void. Whether it's true or not, the right succeeded in painting her that way and people either voted for Trump or stayed home. Those are the votes Beto needs but won't get.

IB, I don't believe it will be vindictive. It wont be a gotcha back for Kavanaigh moment. There are lots of people who will take issue with a person who not only has a DWI, but a burglary as well, becoming president.

People should get second chances. They don't necessarily get to become President.

"Due to overwhelming lack of interest in my socialist bullshit, i am withdrawing from the race."

Speculating on who the dems wll have as their candidate at this time is entertainment purposes only.

They REALLY need to get their shit straight before that happens. There's only one thing worse than 4 more years of Trump.... 4 more years of Trump because they let that crazy person run again.

If I were you I’d be worried more about the Republican nominee. May not be Trump.

And then what circus would you join? Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

He is "Gaffe man Joe".

Whatever one's feelings are about Beto O'Rourke the fact is that he is the one candidate on either side that has this special charisma and voter appeal surrounding him. His results in last year's Senate election point that out. In a state that Trump won by more than 9% in 2016 and where Cruz won by 16% in 2012, Cruz eked out a victory by 2.6% to O'Rourke, a man who was virtually unknown by most Texans a year prior to the election.

The guy is likeable. He inspires others. He is a tireless campaigner. I don't agree with all his political views and I think he needs to become more astute politically but I would advise others not to discount him in the future. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Radical left wingers DON"T win Presidential elections!!

Hillary Clinton, with all her baggage, won the popular vote in 2016. Trump will never lose support from his base and on the other side there are those who will never vote for Trump. Were all the Democratic House candidates who won in 2018 close to the edge? I don't know. Republicans obviously lost support in 2018 among women and those living in suburbs, based on voting results. Trump will need those voters to come back to him in order to win in 2020.

Personally, I would hate to see a 3rd party candidate enter the 2020 race. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Now it will be your job and the job of the MSM to convince heartland America that Trump is the devil incarnate.
