An 18-year-old voter in Iowa compared Beto O’Rourke to a cheesecake today and we’re officially dead:

AP: Are you impressed by Beto O'Rourke?

18-year-old in Iowa: “He’s soft like a cheesecake." https://t.co/qo45D4Kj5q — Abby Hamblin (@abbyhamblin) April 12, 2019

This young hero’s nickname is even better when you hear the full quote:

Full quote: “He’s soft like a cheesecake. When you ask him ‘What do you think about taxes?’ he’ll just give you the most generic answer." — Abby Hamblin (@abbyhamblin) April 12, 2019

It really does nail Beto:

Maybe we should let Iowa keep voting early if these anecdotes keep coming in:

Exit question: What if we let 16-year-olds vote and they turn out to be the harshest demo out there?

Teenagers really know how to deliver the harshest critique https://t.co/zV1WwkCQDl — Nathan McDermott (@natemcdermott) April 12, 2019
