“Beto” Expounds on Reasons, Including Trump, of Course

After months of many different factions begging for it, from the Houston Chronicle to Hollyweird, Robert O’rourke has finally answered their pleas. In a tweet just a short while ago, O’rourke announced he was dropping out of the 2020 presidential race. In the tweet, there is a link to a medium post which detailed the reasons O’Rourke left the race.

Our campaign has always been about seeing clearly, speaking honestly, and acting decisively.



In that spirit: I am announcing that my service to the country will not be as a candidate or as the nominee. https://t.co/8jrBPGuX4t — Beto O'Rourke (@BetoORourke) November 1, 2019

From the medium post: “Though it is difficult to accept, it is clear to me now that this campaign does not have the means to move forward successfully. My service to the country will not be as a candidate or as the nominee. Acknowledging this now is in the best interests of those in the campaign; it is in the best interests of this party as we seek to unify around a nominee; and it is in the best interests of the country.”

O’Rourke states that he knew he had to overcome some fear when he ran, bombastically claiming it is a fear Donald Trump wants “us” to feel. The truth may just hit a little closer to home, however, as O’Rourke’s poll numbers have been terrible for months, which would lead to the decline in cash flow the campaign needed to keep going. Several things could be playing into this problem. For instance, his stance in regards to taking guns from law abiding citizens, and his stance on taking away tax exempt status for churches who will not violate their beliefs.

O’Rourke and His Big Mouth

O’Rourke has taken some very controversial stands on television, with anti 2A “gun control” being the hill he chose to kill his campaign on. From his statement on Medium: “I knew that we would have to be unafraid in how we ran the campaign. We’d have to run with nothing to lose. And I knew that our success would depend not on PACs or corporations but upon the grassroots volunteers and supporters from everywhere, especially from those places that had been overlooked or taken for granted.” Maybe he should have had a little healthy fear of the people he sought to subjugate to Socialist bully tactics.

O’Rourke’s scorched earth approach to running included completely agreeing with pro abortion up to birth stances. Recently, O’Rourke had a serious exchange with a veteran over his comments on abortion. From the Washington Examiner: “‘My question is this: I was born Sept. 8th, 1989, and I want to know if you think on Sept. 7th, 1989, my life had no value,’ the man inquired, referencing a previous response the former congressman had given in Ohio on the matter.”

“‘Of course I don’t think that. And of course I’m glad that you’re here. But you referenced my answer in Ohio, and it remains the same. This is a decision that neither you, nor I, nor the United States government should be making,’ O’Rourke said. ‘That’s a decision for the woman to make.’”

This and other highly controversial (and rather contradictory) statements he has made have lost him support even among his base. Unfortunately, O’Rourke even tried making a fool of himself to try to drum up support, “counter protesting” Trump rallies whenever they happened in Texas.

The uproarious result is that O’Rourke had less people in his whole “rally” than Trump had in the line for the bathroom. Heavy reported in October that O’Rourke “nearly” filled a 6,000 person venue (lol) while President Trump filled to capacity a 20,000 seat venue, and needed overflow spaces on top.

It Isn’t Rocket Science, Beto

The simple answer for why O’Rourke bailed, irrespective of the superfluous fluff he published on Medium, is that in his quest to beat out the others in the long line of Democrat candidates and oust Donald Trump from the presidency, O’Rourke went too far left. It didn’t help that he is known to have written some pretty sick fantasies about killing children, and now promotes the idea that a mother has the right to kill a baby regardless of what stage of development the baby is in.

Telling people “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15” was not good either. For a party that screams Donald Trump is trampling the constitution, Democrats sure love to trample the constitution. Speaking of Donald Trump, his trolling skills are ever sharp. The president lamented O’Rourke’s resignation in a pretty hilarious tweet.
